Career

LaLiberté moved from Upstate New York to New York City at age 12 in 1993, to study ballet at the School of American Ballet.[2] After years as a ballerina, she transitioned into modeling appearing in the 2002 Lavazza Calendar shot by David La Chapelle, Arthur Elgort's book Camera Crazy and in magazines including Vogue Italia, W and Photo.[3]

LaLiberté began acting in 2007. Her first acting role was in a play that her friend Michael Domitrovich had written and wanted her to be in.

Off-Off Broadway at the Theater for the New City from February 19 to March 4, 2007[5] and then Off-Broadway at the DR2 Theatre from February 8 to March 16, 2008.[6] The play itself was met with mixed reviews but the performances, particularly LaLiberté's were generally praised.[7][8] Mark Blankenship of Variety said that she "brings believable grit to her one-dimensional, frequently naked role as a heartless nymphette."[9]
