Although born in North Dakota, Connie is essentially "from" Wyoming. She studied theatre and art, flourishing under the direction of her drama teacher who cast her in the school's plays and encouraged her to pursue scholarship opportunities. Connie earned several medals in state theatre competition for her acting, original screenplay, and costume design (12 medals her junior year alone). Her love for performing remained in her heart until the camera found her again 12 years later. In 2017 she founded Connie D Franklin, LLC as a vehicle for advancing and validating her passion for film. Through her business she is now producing films in her community, as well as acting. She strives to bring her magnetic and meaningful performances to the screen in a variety of entertaining and thought provoking roles.
