Laurie Holden was born in Los Angeles, California to Glenn Corbett and Adrienne Ellis. When she was 5, her parents divorced and her mother married director Michael Anderson. Laurie then split her time between L.A. and Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As a teenager, she won the "Look of the Year" modeling pageant in Toronto. After her freshman year at Montreal's McGill University (as an economics major), she transferred to UCLA and completed her BA in theater arts in 1993. She has studied acting under the late Robert Reed (of "Drei Mädchen und drei Jungen" (1969) fame). Laurie is perhaps best known for her roles as "Marita Covarrubias" on "Akte X - Die unheimlichen Fälle des FBI" (1993) and as "Mary Travis" on "Die glorreichen Sieben" (1998). Laurie is single and lives in Los Angeles when not on location.
