Her first professional acting job was with Woody Allen in "Coop Italia," a string of TV commercials for the Italian market. This fueled her passion to train theatrically in New York City with acting masters such as Uta Hagen, Bill Hickey, Bobby Lewis and Elaine Stritch at the Stella Adler Conservatory. She also completed a two-year Meisner and movement program before moving out to the west coast to study with acting greats such as Larry Moss and Gordon Hunt.
Judi performed in Off-Broadway original theater productions and starred in numerous SAG independent feature films. She was in Taken 3 with (Liam Neeson) and Dany Boon's top grossing film, "La Ch'tite Famille" "Family is Family" produced by Pathé.
On television, recently Judi was a series regular in the popular French mini-series "La Garçonne", produced by Mother Productions who also produced "Call My Agent". La Garçonne is a 1919 period drama staring Laura Smet where she plays a bi-sexual, wealthy Marlene Dietrich type for France Television. She also recurred on the "Bold and the Beautiful" and "As the World Turns" as well as on "Law and Order," "Jag," "The Shield" and "Once and Again." Furthermore, Judi has starred, both on camera and off camera in dozens of TV and radio commercials.
Judi is also well known for her voice-over and motion capture work in Sony's highly acclaimed video game,"Heavy Rain," where she performed the popular lead character Madison Paige, as well as on the popular children's anime TV series, "Digimon." In 2013, she was recognized by the magazine, The Complex, as one of the "25 Best Voice Over Performances of All Time."
Judi produced and starred in the Romantic Comedy, "Only in Paris" in which she received Best Actress, Best Romantic Comedy, and Best Short Film at both the New York and Los Angeles Independent Film Festivals in 2011. In addition, in 2013 she was nominated Best Supporting Actress at the Saint Tropez International Film Festival for her role in the feature film, "The Warrior and The Savior." and in 2021 Best Actress in Tango Shalom at the Golden Door Film Festival for her role of Rachel Yehuda. Judi's talents were also show-cased when she starred in a short film at the Cannes Film Festival - "Perfect Pitch," which won Best Film, amid tough competition.
in theaters now you can watch Miss Beecher staring in the multi-award-winning hit comedy "Tango Shalom" from the makers of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

On the other side of the camera, Judi put her creativity and quirkiness on the line during the Cannes Film Festival where she directed and produced "The Can Cannes," which played during the festival, and "The Gourmet Dinner," which screened at the No Dance Film Festival at Sundance. Utilizing her talents as a singer/songwriter in her film "Only in Paris," Judi composed and performed all the music. Most recently Miss Beecher is directing a documentary, "My Name Is Ronia: The Kindness of Strangers" , a biographical documentary focused on tolerance, and produces and star in a 1950's film noir, directed by Daniele Campbell.
Today, thanks to Miss Beecher's American and European dual nationalities and fluency in French, Italian and English, she works in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris.
