Vanessa Dorman

Best known for her role on the soap opera Sunset Beach, Vanessa Dorman played spoiled socialite Caitlin Richards-Deschanel. Although Vanessa was not working in Hollywood as a child actor, she knew she wanted to go into acting at a very young age. Vanessa's childhood aspiration was to become an actor, and her family gave her a lot of freedom to pursue her dream.

Growing up in Niantic, Connecticut, she turned down a national ad campaign at a very young age just to stay in her normal life. Instead, she starred in many of her schools' plays (playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz). Although Vanessa had been living in New York City to be near her first love, theatre, she is back in Los Angeles working in film and television. Since leaving Sunset Beach, Vanessa made several notable guest appearances, including a recurring role on Dawson's Creek.
