Cast & Characters of The O.C. >> Kelly Rowan (Kirsten Nichols Cohen) Born in Ottawa and then raised in Toronto, natural blonde Kelly Rowan first found acting opportunities on Canadian television when she was 19. At this time Kelly was still training in workshops and classes such as Shakespeare and Second City for which she did a little fashion modelling in New York to help with the finances. In 1990 Kelly moved to Los Angeles, the movie capital, and after appearing in several television series Kelly landed her first role in a major film, albeit a minor part in Steven Spielberg's Hook (1991) as Peter Pan's mother. Since then she has stayed in the mundane but rewarding world of TV movies but roles in 187 (1997)and Three To Tango (1999)suggests that Kelly has the potential and ambition to go for more serious roles in features rather than TV movies Biography courtesy of IMDB.com 2003 Virtual Rain.
