Lauren Holly Biography

lauren holly
  • Birth Name: Lauren Michael Holly
  • Birth Place: Bristol, PA
  • Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 10/28/1963, Scorpio
  • Profession: Actor
A fetching actress with a penchant for changing hair colors, Holly has never quite fulfilled her early promise. After a three-year stint on the daytime soap All My Children, which netted her a Daytime Emmy nod, she became a familiar prime-time face as a sheriff's deputy on the eccentric small-town crime drama Picket Fences. During her tenure, she made a bid for the big screen, playing Bruce Lee's wife in the biopic Dragon and the object of desire opposite future husband Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber. But her subsequent features failed (Down Periscope, A Smile Like Yours), as did her marriage, and by the late '90s she was best known as Carrey's ex. Although Holly continued to work steadily, she was relegated to supporting roles in big movies or large parts in indies. She reentered the spotlight in 2005 when she signed on to the hit crime series NCIS.
