Born in Sacramento, California, Virginia Gardner was praised for her talent from a young age. She took part in almost all of her middle school productions, loving the feeling she got onstage. After moving to Los Angeles in 2011, she took online schooling in order to pursue her acting career.
Starting with small guest roles in 2011 and 2012 on television shows such as Hart of Dixie and Lab Rats, Virginia also turned to modeling, where she found much success. She enjoyed modeling so much that she considered quitting acting, but a guest role on Glee in 2013 inspired her to start acting again. Since then, she has appeared in many guest roles and also landed a starring role on Marvel's Runaways as Karolina Dean from 2017 to 2019 on the Hulu network.
She made her film debut in Project Almanac (2015) as Christina Raskin, which led her to many starring roles. She has since appeared in Halloween (2018) as Vicky, Starfish (2019) as Aubrey Parker, and All the Bright Places (2020). One of her most notable roles is Shiloh Hunter in Fall (2022) — a story of two stranded women who scale a telephone pole to get reception and call for help.
Virginia is a huge animal lover and has adopted many animals with her husband, Jed Elliott, the bassist for The Struts. She also has a black belt in Taekwondo.
Virginia stars in Beautiful Disaster (2023) and Beautiful Wedding (2023) as Abby Abernathy and See You On Venus (2023) as Mia.
