Biography
Career
Mitchell's first major film role was in The Crow: City of Angels , playing teenaged drug-addict Grace. During the filming of The Crow , in 1996, she auditioned for the role of Mary Camden in a new family drama, 7th Heaven . Producers initially turned her down as they did not think she was suitable to play Mary. However, when she read for the part of sister Lucy, she was instantly cast. 7th Heaven was a huge success, lasting for 11 seasons, beating both the The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie (TV series)|Little House on the Prairie for the record as the longest-running family drama in television history, while also becoming the highest-rated show on The WB Network .
In 2000, she had a small part in The Amanda Show as a customer in Moody's point.
In 2003, Beverley played Erica Enders on Disney Channel Original Movie Right on Track . It was based on a true story about two sisters who drove race cars.
In 2005, during a hiatus from filming 7th Heaven , Mitchell played in the horror sequel Saw 2 . She was skeptical about taking on the role at first as she has admitted she is not a fan of horror movies.
Her life-long dream of becoming a country music singer came true when, in 2006, she recorded her debut album, Beverley Mitchell with record producer D. Scott Miller in Nashville, TN. She co-wrote 8 of the songs featured on the album, including the hit single "Angel", which was written in memory of her late friend Angela.
In the summer of 2007, Beverley starred in the TV movie I Know What I Saw , which aired on the Lifetime Television network. Beverley also has plans of recording a second album, and hopes to record her own version of the song " When You Say Nothing At All " on the album.
In 2010, it was announced that Mitchell would join the cast of The Secret Life of the American Teenager as a school counselor, which began in January 2011.cite web|url= http://www.tvguide.com/News/Mitchell-Secret-Life-1020731.aspx|title=Exclusive: Seventh Heaven Star Joins Secret Life|publisher=TVGuide.com
Personal life

She shares one thing in common with her former 7th Heaven co-star Catherine Hicks : both are former cheerleaders in high school.
On April 11, 1997, Beverley's friend Angela was killed in a car accident when the vehicle she was in lost control - alcohol was not a factor in the accident. This affected Beverley deeply. She wrote about the experience of losing her friend in the book Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul . The 7th Heaven episode "Nothing Endures But Change" was also based on her experience. Beverley's hit song "Angel" which is featured on her debut album was also written for Angela.
After graduating from Chaminade College Preparatory School (California)|Chaminade College Preparatory School in 1999, she enrolled at Loyola Marymount University where she majored in film.
