| Biography: Lauralei Combs was only 15 years old when she gave birth to Holly. Holly's parents' marriage only lasted two years. Mother and daughter lived near the beach in San Diego until Holly was eight. After that she lived with her mother and stepfather in New York City. All three lived with Holly's grandmother at one point. They lived in a long series of small studio apartments, never living in one place for very long. Holly says she is now a pack rat because she never had any place to keep things while she was growing up. She also blames her passion for interior decorating on her gypsy-like childhood. Instead of constantly moving, she now constantly redecorates her house in the San Fernando Valley. She spent four years looking for the right house to buy. The deciding factor was a large kennel for her dogs. She also has two horses which she keeps at a nearby stable. Until recently, Holly's mother was living in her guest room. She was previously married to actor Bryan (Bugsy) Smith. They divorced in 1996, after four years of marriage. Holly's mother, Lauralei, has worked as an actress and a singer. Her stepfather is a musician. While living in New York, Holly attended the Professional Children's School, a prep school for aspiring entertainers. At the age of eleven, she got her first movie role in the 1985 film "Walls of Glass." Holly's first major success came when she was eighteen with a role on Picket Fences. The part was rewritten for her, but she almost didn't get it. Her first meeting with David E. Kelley did not go well, but he ultimately decided to cast her and rewrote the character to fit Holly's personality when he was unable to find anyone who fit the part. After insulting her in their first interview, Kelley had to convince Holly to take the part. Of the incident, Holly says, "I had quite an attitude going." She played Kimberly Brock for four seasons and now speaks very highly of David Kelley's talents. Of her position in the cast of "Charmed," she says she is "the least ?babe of the babes.'" Although Holly feels "positively deprived" next to Shannen and Alyssa, she felt it was "ridiculous" for her to wear a push-up bra during filming and after a couple of episodes refused to wear it. Of her work on Charmed, Holly says she had to accept that "what I do is basically entertainment." "It can't be ground-shaking moral dilemmas all the time." Co-star Shannen Doherty, who knew her even before they were cast as sisters on "Charmed," describes Holly as "fiery and feisty." Alyssa Milano admires her comedic gifts, "She can be dry like Bob Newhart or physically hilarious." But due to Shannen and Alyssa not getting along, Shannen quit and Rose McGowan replaced Prue as the long lost sister: Paige! Points of Interest: She is a spokesperson for breast cancer awareness. She admires Courtney Love. She suffers from terrible stage fright. Body Art: Braids tattooed around each wrist and a rose on her shoulder. The wrist tattoos were an act of teenage rebellion which backfired when her artistic parents actually liked them. Her stepfather even considered getting similar tattoos. She wears a lot of bracelets and/or long sleeves, which cover up the tattoos, while filming "Charmed." | ||||||||||||||
