Laurie Holden
Summary
Heather Laurie Holden (born December 17, 1969) is a Canadian and American actress, producer, and human rights activist. She is best known for her portrayals as Marita Covarrubias in (1996–2002), Andrea Harrison in AMC's The Walking Dead (2010–2013, 2020–2022), and Amanda Dumfries in The Mist (2007).
Holden is also known for her roles as Adele Stanton in The Majestic (2001), Cybil Bennett in Silent Hill (2006), Amanda Dumfries in The Mist (2007), Olivia Murray in The Shield (2008), Renee in The Americans (20172018), and the Crimson Countess in Vought News Network: Seven on 7 with Cameron Coleman (2021) and The Boys (2022).
Born in Los Angeles and raised in Toronto, Holden holds dual citizenship in the United States and Canada. After her parents, actors Glen Corbett and Adrienne Ellis, divorced, her mother married director Michael Anderson. Laurie then split her time between Los Angeles and Toronto.
Holden received her first film role when she was a young child. While her stepfather was directing The Martian Chronicles, she visited him on the set. A child actress hired to play Rock Hudson's daughter never arrived, so Laurie filled in for her. As a teenager, she won the Look of the Year modeling contest in Toronto and was given a minor role as a babysitter in Anderson's comedy Separate Vacations (1986).
After graduating from the Bishop Strachan School, Holden attended McGill University, where she studied economics and political science. She transferred to University of California, Los Angeles and received a degree in theater and film in 1993. At UCLA, she was a member of the National Honor Society and received the Natalie Wood Acting Award. Holden then pursued a master's degree in human rights at Columbia University.
Early in her career, Holden made a name for herself by co-starring opposite Burt Reynolds in Physical Evidence (1989), Vanessa Redgrave in Young Catherine (1991), and William Shatner in the TV Movie TekWar: TekLab (1994). She also played Mabel Dunham in the TV Movie The Pathfinder (1996) (based on the novel of James Fenimore Cooper).
