Born in Los Angeles
but raised in Toronto, Laurie Holden is the daughter of two actors
(Vancouver native Adrienne Ellis and the late Larry Holden) who
divorced when she was young. When she was 6, she played Rock Hudson's
daughter in the NBC miniseries The Martian Chronicles, directed
by her stepfather, Michael Anderson.
Holden was drawn more to the banking
world than acting. But after her freshman year at McGill University
in Montreal, where she planned to study economics, she transferred
to UCLA, switching her major to theater arts.
Since graduating in 1993 she's appeared
in original films for HBO and Showtime, the TNT miniseries Young
Catherine, and CBS' remake of the MGM classic The Magnificent
Seven.
Best known for her work in The
X-Files as U.N. informant Marita Covarubbias, she has gained
even more attention as Adele Stanton in The Majestic, starring
Jim Carrey.

*Laurie on TV

"I have always enjoyed the freedom
of playing with dark places in your soul and exposing them to the
world."
"People tend to emphasize money and success, but
what I think is important is being a good person."
"I love the outdoors. I love anything to do with nature:
hiking, horseback riding, sailing, snorkeling, jet skiing, swimming—anything
to do with water. And I absolutely love what I do. I love theater
and I love film and I feel so blessed to be a part of it."
