AnnaLynne McCord
In 2008, she was the eighteenth actress to be cast in The CW series "90210", portraying antiheroine Naomi Clark. Initially, the part of Clark was conceived as a supporting role. However, by the end of the first season, media outlets had begun referring to McCord as the series' lead. For the role of Naomi Clark, she was nominated for a Teen Choice Award and received the "Hollywood Life" Young Hollywood Superstar of Tomorrow award in 2009. In 2010, she won a Breakthrough of the Year Award in the category of "Breakthrough Standout Performance".
Vera McCord
McCord began acting during an extended visit in London. She performed in "The President" (1902) and "When We Were Twenty-One" (1903), and gave dramatic recitations there. She appeared in three plays on Broadway: "Via Wireless" (1908-1909) with Edwin Arden, "The Flag Lieutenant" (1909), and "The Zebra" (1911). Of her 1908 Broadway debut, the "New York Star" critic wrote that "Miss Vera McCord is a new leading woman with such naturalness and utter absence of the theatric in her method that she scarcely seems to act at all, so realistically does she seem to live the part."
