Christine "Blaze" Kelly Coyle, President & CEO of Silver Phoenix Entertainment, is an American singer, actress, writer, author, director and producer. Born in Philadelphia, raised in New Jersey, Blaze made her television debut at the tender age of ten singing "This is my Life" on "The Al Albert's Showcase". She then went on to become a regular on ABC's "The Chief Halftown Show", featuring late greats Traynor Ora Halftown and Larry Ferrari. Blaze was a member of Lucille Russo's Boardwalk Star Revue in Atlantic City and won several titles including: College Star Search, Tony Grant's Star of Tomorrow, Teen Talent Ocean City, Talent America and Miss Spirit of America.Nicknamed "Blaze" because of her auburn hair, fiery personality and strong resemblance to actress Lolita Davidovich in the movie "Blaze Starr",(also starring Paul Newman), how apropos that nickname would become a few years later when she was diagnosed with bilateral vocal tumors. Before her surgery she was given a medal of St. Blaise (pronounced Blaze)... known in Catholicism for the blessing of throats, coincidentally. After two surgeries, vocal rest and a lengthy recovery period, she had a deeper appreciation and gratitude for her God-given gifts and decided she would pursue everything from then on with wild abandon.She worked as a radio personality (89.7 WGLS and 104.9 WRDR), an on-air Philadelphia news and traffic reporter (Metro Network/Westwood One), a magician's assistant, a clown, a science teacher, a surgical assistant and a broadcast technician (ESPN and Ernst & Young), all the while pursuing a career in the entertainment biz. The television series "Emma Everything" (co-written with Jim Dodge) is loosely based on her job/life experiences, while the film "Speed Damon & Holly" (co-written with Scott Stram) is loosely based on her hilarious dating experiences.
