Known as the little girl with the big voice, Chrissie Fit has been
performing since she was 5-years-old. She was born and raised in Miami,
Florida and with extremely supportive parents, Chrissie was able to
explore her talents. In October of 2005, Chrissie Fit moved to California
and was immediately signed to an agency. During the summer of 2007, Chrissie played
the role of Lupe Rosales on the General Hospital spin-off, Night Shift,
that aired on SoapNet. After successfully completing the first season,
the producers were so impressed by Chrissie Fit's performance that they
invited her to join the cast of the daytime soap opera as a new
character, Mercedes.
Chrissie has developed a passion for writing which led her to create a Web Series called "The Subpranos" starting in January
2010. She co-wrote the series with friend, Cyrina Fiallo and has the
intro up on You Tube.
Like most actors, Chrissie had an immediate answer to our question "What's your cause/charity?". It was barely a nansecond later when fansgivingback.org discovered that Chrissie's cause is the Life Through Art Foundation.

educational opportunities in the arts for underprivileged students and
artists who otherwise would not be able to finance such endeavors. The
foundation supports students pursuing various forms of education in any
