1. Who is Yael Yurman?

Yael (pronounced “yai-el”) Yurman is a 21-year-old actress who hails from Canada. Her resume isn’t as extensive as some of the other Firefly Lane cast members, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive.

2. What’s her connection to Firefly Lane?

You probably recognize Yurman from Firefly Lane, where she portrays Kate’s daughter Marah. The show is based on the namesake novel by Kristin Hannah and takes place over the course of decades. The story follows two lifelong best friends—Tallulah, or “Tully,” and Kate—beginning with their childhood on Firefly Lane.  

While adult Tully is portrayed by Katherine Heigl, teenage Tully is played by Alissa Skovbye. She stars opposite Roan Curtis, who portrays the younger version of Sarah Chalke’s character, Kate.
