Laura Marie Marano (born on November 29, 1995) is an American actress and singer. She is best known for her role as Ally Dawson in the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally (2011-2016). Marano first came into the limelight as a child, debuting in theater productions before rapidly emerging on television shows and films like Without a Trace and Back to You before making appearances in Superbad and Lady Bird with memorable cameo roles and fantastic performances.
Laura is not limited to acting; she’s also an incredible singer. In 2015, Laura took a bold step by signing with Big Machine Records, and by 2016 had released her debut single “Boombox.” Today she continues creating music under her own auspices as an independent artist–an experience as genuine and relatable as acting roles on-screen.
She is also active on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where she shares content related to comedy, beauty, fashion, and music.
As of April 2025, Laura Marano is 29 years and 4 months old. Her estimated net worth is $3 million, and she is 5 feet 2 inches (157 cm or 1.57 m) tall.
