Megan Young

Megan Young (born Megan Lynne Young on February 27, 1990 in Alexandria, Virginia, USA) is a Filipina-American actress who is a member of Star Magic Batch 15. She is best known for being a former celebrity housemate on Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 (but the third one to be eliminated). Megan is a alumnus of ABS-CBN's rival television station GMA's StarStruck and also a member of GMA Artist Center. She's the first StarStruck alumni to transfer to another network.

Megan Young is an actress and former GMA Network talent. She is the first StarStruck star ever to transfer to GMA's rival station, ABS-CBN, in a bid to change her image from a villain to a "nice girl." She currently plays Marcella in I Love Betty La Fea.

Megan Young first big showbiz break was with the talent reality search Star Struck. With her statuesque height and Fil-Am features, Megan perfectly fits the mestiza master mold that the show contestants seem to have jumped out from. Her talent and personality landed her in the show top six. But despite her good finish, Megan acting career never took off. Projects came to her in trickles. Often she would be typecast as the antagonist, the bitch, the bad girl --- something she found unpleasant. She soon moved to ABS-CBN following her sister, Lauren, who was part of Star Magic Star Circle 13.
