Laurie Holden

Laurie Holden is an American actress who made the world famous for her role as Andrea in The Walking Dead. She also played many characters in other HBO and Showtime series, and horror fans remember her as a brave policewoman, Sybil Bennett, along with the main character who went on the search for the missing child in the mysterious Silent Hill.

Heather Laurie Holden was born in Los Angeles on December 17, 1969. Her parents, Larry Holden and Adrien Ellis, divorced when their daughter was 5 years old. The mother later married director Michael Anderson. Lori continued to communicate with her father, so her childhood passed between two cities - Toronto and Los Angeles.

In her youth, she got a chance to try herself as a model and, although Holden was not tall enough (Lori's height - 169 cm at 53 kg), achieved considerable success - took the first prize in the profile competition Look of the Year in Toronto.

After high school, she enrolled at James McGill University in Montreal to study philosophy and economics, but a year later decided to move to California to pursue the arts. Her teacher was the famous American actor of theater, film and television Robert Reed.

With the career of the model, the girl said goodbye immediately after graduation - work in cinema attracted her more. While studying at the University of California, Laurie was considered a promising student and even received the Natalie Wood Award, designed for talented young actors. Her education did not end there: after graduating from school, she began studying human rights at Columbia University and even received a degree.

For the first time, the girl's acting talent was shown to the world by her stepfather Michael Anderson, shooting her in the multi-part film "The Martian Chronicles" in 1980. Before that, she had small roles in TV shows and TV series, but it was this that brought her success.

Holden began her professional acting career in Hollywood, and later began to star in Toronto. Until the early 2000s, she had major roles in TV series and TV shows, as well as independent films: in 1986, she starred in the comedy Separate Holidays, as well as in the multi-part films "The Mysteries of Father Dowling" and "Captain Power and soldiers of the future."

In 1990, Laurie took part in the filming of The Young Catherine. The historical film about the fate of Catherine the Great, narrated by American filmmakers, turned out to be not very reliable, but spectacular and fascinating. She has twice been nominated for an Emmy, including for colorful costumes created by Russian artists. Holden played the role of Princess Dashkova in the film.

In 1996, Laurie was nominated for "Gemini" - a prestigious Canadian film award, the equivalent of "Emmy". So critics noted her role in the television series "Strictly South." In the same year, the actress received an invitation to shoot "Secret Materials". Her character - UN Secretary-General Marita Kovarrubias - is episodic, but the girl appeared in many series until 2002.

Laurie's first major role was in 2001, when Frank Darabent's Majestic. Her acting duet with Jim Carrey was successful and liked the audience, but the film itself at the box office failed - except for their game, the audience and critics did not find anything remarkable in it.

Three years later, Holden played another starring role as a single mother in the Canadian drama "Bailey's Billions", and later appeared in "Fantastic Four".

In 2006, director Christophe Gan, working on the new film "Silent Hill", picked up actresses for the role of a female policeman and remembered Laurie's brilliant work in "Majestic." She played Sybil Bennett very convincingly, and the film became a hit and recognized horror classics, so after a while she again received an invitation to shoot in horror - the picture "Mhla" based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King.

In 2010, the actress participated in the film adaptation of the comic "The Walking Dead." This was another highlight of her creative biography. The role of Andrea, a lawyer by profession and a staunch feminist, made her a favorite of the public, and the series itself was the most successful drama of the year, and its audience grew with each new season.

In total, Holden starred in 3 parts and left the project, because her heroine died. In an interview, she said that she had signed a contract for 8 years and she was supposed to shoot until the finale, but the film's director Frank Darabont suddenly changed his mind and "killed" her character.

According to Laurie, she took it very painfully and on the set of the remaining series could hardly hold back tears.

After that, the filmography of the actress was added to the role of the villain in "Dumb and even dumber 2", as well as in several episodes of "Special crimes". She was supposed to participate in the NBC series "Chicago Firefighters", but after the pilot episode decided to leave the project. The reasons were not disclosed, but they were rumored to be of a personal nature.

The actress prefers to hide information about her personal life. It is known that Laurie has no husband and children and she has never tied the knot. There were rumors that on the set of "The Walking Dead" she had an affair with on-screen partner Norman Reedus, but the relationship eventually ended quickly.

In addition to working in the movies, Laurie spends a lot of time and effort on charity. She is a member of the boards of trustees of several foundations, such as the HIV-fighting association, participates in humanitarian missions and publicly supports organizations that fight sexual slavery.

Hundreds of thousands of people have signed up for her Instagram. The Holden page is full of cute friendly photos and shots from the shoot.

The actress continues to star a lot - both in Hollywood and in Canadian studios. The last major work known at this time was the film "Sunset in the Asphalt", which was released in 2018.

This is a gunman about two former police officers who after leaving the service went to work in the criminal underground. In it, Laurie played the main character's wife.
