Former Westport Resident Wins 'The Voice'

WESTPORT, CT - Alisan Porter, a former child actress who lived in Westport during her teen years, won season 10 of the popular NBC singing competition "The Voice" Tuesday night.

Porter, who was coached by judge Christina Aguilera, beat out fellow contestants Adam Wakefield, Hannah Huston, and Laith Al-Saadi.

Now a married mother of two, Porter attended Staples High School and acted in television shows and movies, such as "Parenthood," and as Curly Sue in the early '90s comedy "Curly Sue," reports the Stamford Advocate. But the 34-year-old retired from acting years ago to concentrate on her singing.

With Porter's victory, Aguilera became the show's first female coach to win with one of her singers.
