Renn Woods is a legendary icon in stage, TV and film, an amazing vocalist and talented emerging playwright. As a child star and teenage heartthrob, Renn is best-known for her roles as "Fanta" in the Emmy Award-winning TV mini-series Roots (1977). Her unforgettable interpretation of "Aquarius" in Milos Forman's movie musical, Hair (1979), is an official classic.As "Dorothy" in the first national Broadway tour of "The Wiz", her performance was hailed by the critics as a new musical theatre standard for the young performer. She returned in 2006 to that very same theatre (The Ahmanson) in Los Angeles, to the same kind of reception, in "Caroline or Change" (the role of "The Moon"). Renn's own musical, "Sold' Renn Woods in Concert", has continued to earn her respect as a published playwright. The Kennedy Center's Writers Program chose her play as one of 18 plays (out of 2,000 reviewed) to be developed. It began as a one-woman show in the Juneteenth Festival and was quickly produced at the Music Center under Gordon Davidson's tenure.

Iger, CEO of Disney, as the vocalist for the prestigious Legends Awards Ceremony, inducting Sir Elton John. Renn began singing at the age of six. By age ten, she and two girlfriends had taken the show business world by storm, as their group, Sunday's Child, was adored by such celebrities as Bill Cosby, Sammy Davis Jr. and Johnny Carson.They toured the world, performing in the very last tour of duty with Bob Hope in Vietnam.
