Old friends (and exes) Sam and Kelly reunite to talk our ears off and dish before lunch.
Kelly Lester is an actress, singer and "juggler":
During the last two decades she has also been an entrepreneur, wife, and mother of three.
A graduate of UCLA's theatre department, Kelly has appeared in dozens of plays and musicals in the Los Angeles area and on the east coast. Early work includes The Fantasticks opposite Tony-award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell and Grease, directed by Tony-award nominee Scott Ellis and choreographed by Tony-award winner Susan Stroman.
Kelly left show business for almost twelve years to run her own highly-successful gift manufacturing business and raise her three young daughters. Her handcrafted home décor items were sold in hundreds of museum stores across the country.
After selling that business in 2006, Kelly defied the old adage that 'there are no second acts'. Since returning to performing, she has appeared in a number of films, TV shows, commercials, and stage productions.
Kelly appears with symphony orchestras as a guest soloist (most recently in an evening devoted to the music of Richard Rodgers) and has played lead roles in world premieres of a number of new musicals.
In her spare time, she enjoys listening to obscure musicals and has an obsession with graphic design (especially fonts). When not in front of the computer, Kelly can be found in the kitchen preparing healthy lunches and dinners for her family (though she hates to cook.) In addition to performing, she is the creator and CEO of EasyLunchboxes.com, helping families everywhere pack their lunch boxes fast, healthy, & green.
Kelly is married to actor Loren Lester, They have 3 daughters.

ABOUT EASYLUNCHBOXES:
EasyLunchboxes: The Best Lunchbox System You Will Find!:
EasyLunchbox SystemPack waste-free lunch boxes fast with our single-lid, 3-compartment, bento-style plastic food containers. Affordable lunch box containers and cooler bags for work or school lunches. This is the best lunchbox system to turn your kids lunch ideas into school lunches they can't resist, or make your own healthy meal ideas a snap to pack for work. EasyLunchboxes was born out of my response to disturbingly unhealthy school lunch programs. I resolved to send my kids to school with nutritious meals, using little to no wasteful packaging. And though I'm very concerned with my family's health and nutrition, as a busy mom, I like to spend as little time as possible in the kitchen. I'm all about fresh, healthy and FAST.
A Streamlined Solution for Packing Lunch Boxes:
As a Mom of 3, I knew there had to be a timesaving method for packing lunches. Rather than use a myriad of individual plastic food storage containers and wasteful disposable baggies, I thought, "What if I had one reusable lunch container for everything?" So I created the EasyLunchbox container — a terrific Bento box alternative; easier and better, as there's only one lid that fits securely on top of all 3 compartments.
Our Lunch Boxes are Eco-Friendly:
They're BPA-free, SAFE and environmentally friendly, too! You'll find it easy to 'go green' by using EasyLunchboxes for a waste-free lunch.

Sam Harris' career has spanned more than two decades in the public eye and run the gamut from singer/songwriter to stage, film, television actor to writer, producer, director. Born in Oklahoma, Sam performed in his first play when he was five and was known to jump on any makeshift stage, be it a wooden crate or a dining room table, and belt out a tune.
He left home at the age of 15 to pursue his career and received the Frank Sinatra Pop Singing Award where the legendary Chairman of the Board said to an enthusiastic audience, "This kid's got `it'! Sam, don't get any better till I get out of the business."
Sam became a household name on Star Search in its premiere season as the grand champion. Millions of viewers tuned in each week to follow him as he created his own pop, gospel and theatre brand of emotionally charged performances.
Broadway called and Sam moved to New York, where he received a Drama Desk nomination for his role in Tommy Tune's Grease. He stared in the Broadway National tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, where sales records were broken all over the country. Sam also starred in Cy Coleman's The Life, for which he received the Drama-League Award as well as Tony, Outer Critic's Circle and Drama Desk nominations. Sam was to star in The Jazz Singer, playing the legendary Al Jolson, known as "the greatest entertainer in the world." Sam was clearly in a new league when the New York Times remarked, "Who else could play this role? Sam Harris is the only performer today whose charisma and raw magnetism is absolutely Jolson-esque." While he continued to tour nationally, Sam also co-produced the television special "Love Letter to New York" and supervised and arranged several songs and supervised segments of "Michael Jackson's 30 Year Anniversary Special". He is now back in Los Angeles however he returned to New York in Mel Brook's smash hit The Producers on Broadway.
Sam appeared on shows such as Arsenio Hall, The Joan Rivers Show, Merv Griffin, Geraldo, American Bandstand, Soul Train, The Tonight Show, The Today Show, Rosie, The View, Barbara Walters Show, and many more. Sam also performed a stirring "You'll Never Walk Alone" on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the week following September 11th, 2001.
Sam now balancing his roles as father, husband, actor, recording artist, writer and all around entertainer. He recently completed a recurring role on "Rules of Engagement," an appearance on "Tyra" about marriage rights, created an original role in the musical "The First Wives Club," and is currently developing a television series and the now, re-ignited musical in which he stars as the darkly complex and charismatic Al Jolson, while he continues to perform in concert all over the country.
