Lisa Robin Kelly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lisa Robin Kelly (born March 5, 1970 in Southington, Connecticut) first made her debut at 21, in a 1992 episode of Married... with Children, and went on to guest-star in many popular television shows, such as Murphy Brown, The X-Files, Sisters, and Silk Stalkings. and appeared in many obscure straight-to-video/TV movies (Amityville: Dollhouse, for example). She finally earned her big break and minor celebrity status, at age 28, with her role as Laurie, the promiscuous elder sister of Eric Forman on That '70s Show. The character garnered her #6 placement on Maxim's TV's Best Nymphos list. She enjoyed brief success, mild publicity and increased output during the first two years of the show, including one of her only high-profile movies, Jawbreaker. She developed drug problems during filming of the third season of That '70s Show, and was fired, it being explained that her character had left to attend beauty school.

She briefly returned to the show in the fifth season, and was offered to appear in thirteen episodes of the sixth season. She filmed the first few episodes, but was replaced by Christina Moore, as she was in the midst of a key story, and her character couldn't up and leave again. Fox stated this was a mutual agreement, and Wilmer Valderrama, with whom she spent most of her screen time in season five (their characters had gotten married so he could stay in the country), said she wanted to try other things, her agent restating that, and adding that she had been clean for two years.[1] According to IMDb she has had only one film, movie or videogame credit since her final leave of the show, a 2005 film, The Food Chain: A Hollywood Scarytale.
