MELISSA GALLO
Adriana Lord on the ABC Television Network's "One Life To Live"
Newcomer Melissa Gallo joined the cast of “One Life to Live” on January 20, 2004, in the role of Adriana. Dorian Lord (Robin Strasser) shocked the citizens of Llanview when she revealed that Adriana was actually her daughter.
Miss Gallo was born and raised in New Jersey, the daughter of Cuban-born parents who moved to the United States as teenagers. In December 2003, she received a BFA in Drama from New York University.
The role of “OLTL’s” Adriana marks Miss Gallo’s first professional acting job. A dancer since childhood, she continues to take classes when her “OLTL” schedule permits.
Miss Gallo is an avid reader and enjoys going to the theatre as much as possible.
