Life and career

After doing some month-long stints in Los Angeles, she moved there permanently with her mother.[1][2] Her first acting role was in the Nickelodeon series Unfabulous in 2004.[1] She also played small parts on shows such as Zoey 101 and Hannah Montana, and landed her first feature film role in 2007's horror film Scar. She later played Kirby in the 2012 comedy film Project X.[1][3]
In 2014, it was announced that Blanton would be a featured model in Tyler Shields's photography exhibition Provocateur.[4] In 2015, Blanton was named one of the top ten "Houston Scream Queens".[5]
