Early life
Marano was born in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of college professor Damiano Marano and former actress Ellen Marano, who owns the Agoura Children Theatre. Her father is of Italian descent. Marano was first introduced to acting at her mother theatre. At age 5, Marano began expressing interest in acting professionally to her parents along with her older sister Vanessa, who is also an actress. However, her mother had trepidation about the idea of her daughters working in the tough industry of acting. She took them to one of the strictest talent agents in Abrams Talent Agency in hopes that they would be rejected and then lose interest. To her surprise, the agency wanted both Laura and Vanessa. From there, Marano began her career.
Marano attended traditional school while she worked, even when she booked a full-time job on Austin and Ally, instead of doing school on set. I go to an actual high school and my friends and everybody there have been so supportive, said Marano. It nice when I’m not working to go to that school and be surrounded by really supportive friends.
