Lisa Robin Kelly(1970-2013)
- Actress
- Producer
She first made her acting debut at age 21 in a 1992 episode of
Married... with Children (1987),
and went on to guest-star in many popular television shows, such as
Murphy Brown (1988),
The X-Files (1993),
Sisters (1991), and
Silk Stalkings (1991), and
appeared in many obscure, straight-to-video/TV movies. She finally
earned her big break and minor celebrity status at age 28, with her
role as "Laurie Forman", the promiscuous elder sister of "Eric Forman"
on That '70s Show (1998). 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 (1999). She developed drug
problems during filming of the third season of "That '70s Show" and
was fired. It was explained that her character Laurie was off attending
beauty school.
She briefly returned to the show in the fifth season and was offered
appearances in 13 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, said she wanted to try other
things. Her agent restated that adding that she had been clean for
two years. According to IMDb, she has had only one credit since her
final exit from the show: the 2005 film
The Food Chain: A Hollywood Scarytale (2005).
