The Texas native was a finance major with an Associates degree who’d transferred to a 4-year college on a basketball scholarship when, in her senior year, she “one day” decided to pursue acting. After visiting Los Angeles, Ilonzeh was hooked and headed west. However, her father insisted, “I’m giving you one year to become a superstar and if you’re not, you’re coming home. Ilonzeh began working almost immediately, nabbing small parts in some big projects. Four years later, she joined the cast of GH as the newest Quartermaine to hit town.
