Burnett has always been interested in performing arts, ever since she belted out a song in the car at age three, to the shock of her parents. As she grew up, she joined the Denver theater community, taking on roles such as Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mayzie in Seussical, Dotty in Noises Off, and Annie in Annie. In high school, she was not just the homecoming princess, she also joined her school's speech and debate team, where she competed in the humorous interpretation division and eventually went on to place at the national tournament. Burnett was also a member of her school's elite jazz ensemble and was chosen to perform in the Colorado All-State Choir, the All-State Choir and the National Honor Choir in Los Angeles.
Molly graduated with honors from high school and moved to New York City, where she attended Wagner College on Staten Island. Although her heart was in NYC, she realized that her dreams of acting in film and television would ultimately take her to Los Angeles. She moved and found herself a manager and an agent. It was not long after when she scored the role of Melanie Layton on Days of Our Lives, which she has starred on since July 31, 2008. Her talents have also been featured on shows such as True Blood, Life and Good Luck Charlie.
