Betsy Russell

Actress and life coach Betsy Russell is a woman of all trades. Taking off with a very successful acting career fresh out of high school, she then went on to complete a Masters program in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica, as well as becoming a certified hypnotist and life coach. Betsy now very happily and successfully does it all.

Born and raised in San Diego, young Betsy first knew she wanted to be an actress at the age of 8, when she started taking part in school plays. During her time at Mission Bay High School she appeared in a locally shot Pepsi commercial and knew this was for her. After graduating, Betsy packed her bags and, like so many before her, headed to LA with a dream. The young woman very quickly made this dream come true, and after only a year of acting classes booked her debut role in the 1982 film Let’s Do It! The following year marked her big breakthrough into the industry when she starred in sex comedy Private School as Jordan Leigh-Jensen. Then followed a long line of jobs from film to television, including Cheerleader Camp, The A-Team and Murder, She Wrote. From 2006 to 2010 Betsy appeared in the popular horror franchise Saw as John Kramer’s wife, Jill Tuck.

These days the movie star is busy with her life coaching work. Her website is a haven for personal growth and development no matter who you are. As well as her life coaching services Betsy also releases regular podcasts and YouTube videos about mental health, spirituality and the importance of taking care of your own wellbeing. She hosts an Ask Betsy section, allowing her voice and wisdom to be spread to anyone willing to listen.
