Charity Winters

A native California girl, Charity Winters grew up in the world of entertainment. In her teens, she attended the Los Angeles High School for the Performing Arts on a music scholarship. As a singer and a soloist for the Los Angeles Opera Company, music was always Charity's first love. At 17, however, she was offered a lead role on an NBC soap opera and the exposure linked to this opportunity launched her career in television. Although Charity enjoyed acting, she soon found that she much preferred being herself on camera than pretending to be anyone else. This revelation, paired with her genuine heart for people, is what led her down the path of television hosting. Charity has worked as a TV host for the past 10 years, both in the States and overseas. She majored in Vocal Performance at the Los Angeles High School of the Arts and has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio, Television and Film from Biola University. In 2007, as network host of an entertainment channel in the UK, Charity was offered the host role on a European reality show, "Search For a Presenter." This "American Idol" style talent competition searches for the next "big thing" in television hosting. Charity was recognized as the lead host and American personality of the show. "Search For a Presenter" ran for 2 seasons, airing in over 56 different countries. Upon her return to the US, Charity began presenting live shows for QVC and "The Shopping Channel" Canada. Additionally, in following her life-long passion for social justice & aid work, Charity began hosting for a variety of philanthropic organizations in documentary projects & TV specials. On Oscar Night 2009, Charity had the special assignment of hosting on the red-carpet alongside Olivia Newton John & Leeza Gibbons for their star-studded charity event, "Oscar Night at Mr. Chow" and Extra.com.
