Monroe claimed her first IMDB credit at the age of 13 with the 2006 release of low-rent horror film Bad Blood, starring Piper Laurie. Speaking of the experience, Monroe said, "I'd really no interest in before. I grew up dancing, and I had other plans at that age - I think I was 13 - about what I wanted to become, and it definitely wasn't acting. I remember watching movies with my dad, but I didn't think of it as a real career. So it wasn't until a production company contacted the dance company that I was with, and said, 'We need you background dancers for this horror movie.'" "And so I remember my mom driving me to LA and walking on set, and being in complete awe. I was like, 'This is the coolest thing ever,' watching how a movie was made. Since I was hanging out on set all the time, even when I didn't have to be there, the director got to know me and wrote me into the script. So that's how it all started. I guess it kind of fell into my lap, in a sense." Looking at her current career, it's incredible to think that it was basically happenstance, that had things gone a tad differently, she likely wouldn't have the major success she's enjoying at the moment, but on the other hand, she could just be kiteboarding for a living instead. Sadly getting a hold of Bad Blood is difficult enough that there's not a single picture of Monroe's supporting part online...until someone stumps up the cash and actually bothers to buy the DVD...
