Lisa Robin Kelly (born March 5, 1970 in Southington, Connecticut) is an American actress.
[edit] Career
She 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. She also appeared in many obscure straight-to-video and TV movies, such as Amityville: Dollhouse.
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.[2] 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, which starred Rose McGowan.
She developed drug problems during filming of the third season of That '70s Show, and left the program; it was explained that her character had left to attend beauty school.
She briefly returned to the show in the fifth season in four episodes, and was offered to appear in 13 episodes of the sixth season as a regular cast member. She filmed the first few episodes but never appeared in the sixth season, since Christina Moore was brought in to replace her and was re-taped in Kelly's scenes to keep consistency in the sixth season. Fox stated this leave was a mutual agreement. Wilmer Valderrama, with whom she spent most of her screen time in season five, said she wanted to try other things. Her agent restated this, adding that she had been clean for two years.[3] However, she has had only one film, movie, or videogame credit since her leave from the show, a 2005 film called The Food Chain: A Hollywood Scarytale.
