Who is Ashley Hinshaw?
Born on 11 December 1988, in La Porte, Indiana, under the inquisitive and resourceful sign of Sagittarius, Ashley Hinshaw is a 30-year-old American model and actress. She is best known for taking on the lead role in “About Cherry”, a drama depicting the life and times of adult film industry professionals. Fans also know her for appearances in iconic TV shows such as “True Blood”, “Gossip Girl” and “True Detective”. Initially, she had her eyes on modeling, but decided to try her hand at acting. Since 2017, she has been officially using her married name – Ashley Grace.
Early Life and Family: Growing Up in Indiana
Ashley was born into an American family in rural Indiana to parents Craig and Christina Hinshaw, but we have no knowledge of their professions or ages. We also don’t know whether it was their influence that gave Ashley the motivation to try her hand at modeling, but it seems likely as her first foray into the world of show business took place when she was just nine years-old. While still at middle school, she played the lead role in several plays in her local youth theater., and around this time, people also took notice of her looks, which prompted her to give pageantry a chance. Her first big success came when she was still 13, and won the Miss Maple City Pageant and Talent Competition in several categories, including Most Beautiful, Most Photogenic and Most Talented. Unlike most children at this age, Ashley wanted to compete in pageants, and wasn’t forced to do so by her parents. Her initial successful streak was a sign of things to come, giving her indications that this might be her true calling.
Preparing for a Career in Modeling
Encouraged by her accomplishments at child beauty pageants, Ashley started taking her potential modeling career more seriously. At the age of 14, she placed near the top at the National Miss American Coed Pageant, in the category of Miss American Junior Teen. In 2003, she entered the Queen’s Court Beauty Competition, where she finished in third place. The same year, she narrowly lost in the final round of the photogenic competition at the Miss Indiana Junior Teen Pageant, finishing in second place, so gaining a position of state finalist in the application process, while being nominated for Best Speech, Prettiest Smile and receiving the most recommendations from judges to participate in next year’s contest. Being a successful beauty pageant contestant, Ashley determined to become a model, and made the difficult decision to move to New York City, at the tender age of 16.
Getting Used to New York: Abercrombie & Fitch, MTV and More
Upon moving to The Big Apple, she had a hard time getting used to the hustle and bustle of the biggest city in the country. Moving from a rural mid-west town to New York was far from easy, but Ashley was determined to make the most of her opportunity. A talent agency forwarded her contact information to Abercrombie & Fitch, who invited her to participate in a photoshoot for their Spring/Summer collection. As they are a company with more than $3 billion in revenue on a yearly basis, Ashley got the publicity she needed. After working with a couple of other brands to build up her portfolio, she was offered the role of a judge on MTV’s hit reality show – “Made” in 2008. Wanting to become celebrities, teens were separated into categories according to their desired profession, and trained for months before appearing in front of Ashley and the other judges. Her time on the show was a success, making her consider expanding her areas of influence.
First Experiences With Acting: Gossip Girl, Fringe and Other Works
Even though she appeared in a number of child plays in theater earlier in her life, Ashley wasn’t even remotely experienced when it came to acting in a TV role, so she worked hard to develop her skills, and used her connections to secure a role as herself in “Gossip Girl”, one of the best teen drama shows of the last decade. She appeared in episode one during season three, as the girl who caught the attention of Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), while he was having problems with his girlfriend, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester). Ashley loved the opportunity, and the fact that she played herself was a sign that this 21-year-old model was going places. She then appeared in “Fringe” and in “The Glades”, a crime drama. After these two roles, in 2010 she decided to move to Los Angeles, California.

Solidifying Her Place in the Industry: LOL, Rites of Passage and About Cherry
The move to Los Angeles meant that 22-year-old Ashley was thrust into the epicenter of show business. Immediately upon arrival, she was cast to play the co-lead role next to Miley Cyrus in the 2012 remake of the 2008 French movie “LOL (Laughing Out Loud)”. While critics were somewhat lukewarm to her performance as the best friend to Miley’s character, the whole movie was both a financial and commercial disaster. Regardless, she received some much-needed publicity. While her role in “Rites of Passage” with Christian Slater was a success, her biggest break came in 2012, while she was still filming the final scenes of “LOL”. She played the role of Angelina alongside James Franco and Dev Patel in the critically acclaimed “About Cherry”. Based on the book by a veteran porn actress, the film depicts the struggles of a young lady who aspires to become an adult film star in San Francisco.
Recent Works: Chronicle, True Blood and True Detective
In 2012, we could see Ashley as Casey Letter, a member of the cast of “Chronicle”, a film about a group of superheroes battling the forces of evil. Two years later, in 2014, she appeared in four episodes of “True Blood”, the hit series about vampires and their battles against other supernatural beings and malicious humans; her character ended up marrying Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten), and the two had three children together. In 2015, she assumed the part of Lacey Lindel in three separate episodes of “True Detective”, since when she’s taken it a bit easier, appearing in TV shows from time to time – her most significant roles in recent years have been in “StartUP”, “Chicago Med” and “The Arrangement”.
