Scarlett Pomers

In 2005, Scarlett Pomers was admitted to an anorexia nervosa treatment facility, as her weight had dropped to just 73 pounds due to the disorder. This was due to exercising for over six hours a day and not eating properly. She was out of the facility in January 2006.

Following her treatment, when she resumed work after being absent for most of season 5 of ‘Reba,’ she entered the set to a thunderous round of applause. In fact, episode 1 of season 6 referred to her eating disorder. Reba asked the character Kyra "Where have you been?" to which Kyra replied "I went to get something to eat." In the same episode, when she was heading towards the kitchen, the character Van played by Steve Howey, asked her, "Where are you going?" To which she replied, "I'm getting something to eat", and Van replied, "see you next year!"

In 2006, she became an ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association, and started an organization called Arch-Angels. It raises money for people who suffer from eating disorders and cannot afford treatment.

Scarlett Pomers was born on November 28, 1988 at Riverside, California, USA. Her mother’s name is Michelle Galvin. She was interested in music since she was a child. She began singing and taking guitar lessons when quite young. She was a fan of hard rock.

When she was three years old, an agent spotted her while she was performing at a local shopping mall, and suggested to her mother that she should get into acting. She then started doing small roles till her mother found an agent. As a child, she guest-starred in many television shows and also appeared in several feature films.

In 1992, at the age of three, Scarlett Pomers appeared in the music video ‘Heal the World’ by Michael Jackson. At the same time, she began doing commercials as well, and till date, has filmed over three-dozen advertisements.

The same year, she played the role of Tina Denmark in ‘Ruthless! The Musical’, an all-female Off-Broadway musical. The musical opened at the Players Theatre in March 1992 and ended in January 1993 after 342 performances.

She also played Sandy in ‘Adventures in Odyssey,’ an Evangelical Christian radio drama and comedy series for kids, produced by Focus on the Family.

She featured in an American supernatural drama television series—‘Touched by an Angel’—that premiered on CBS on September 21, 1994, and ran for 211 episodes.

Her first major role was in 1998 as Naomi Wildman on the UPN sci-fi program ‘Star Trek: Voyager.’ It was an American science fiction television series set in the Star Trek universe. Naomi Wildman was a half-Ktarian, half-human female, daughter of Greskrendregtk and Samantha Wildman. She was born aboard Voyager and was dying soon after birth due to complications of coping with the environment of the planet that she and the Voyager crew were stranded on.

By the time she was 18, Scarlett Pomers had already given some amazing performances. Her accomplishment as an actress in ‘Star Trek: Voyager,’ followed by playing Reba McEntire's daughter Kyra on the sitcom ‘Reba’ established her as a talented actress in her teens.

Now a budding musician, forming her band and leading it through success, is one of her major achievements. Her band plays in some of Hollywood's hottest spots.

The Disney Channel film ‘A Ring of Endless Light,’ where she played Mishca Barton's little sister, is her fans’ favorite among her movies. She shot for her role for six weeks in Australia—an experience she cherishes.
