| .................wikipedia......................................................................................... Holly Marie Combs, (født 3. december 1973 i San Diego, Californien) er en amerikansk skuespillerinde. Hun er bedst kendt for sin rolle som Tom Skerritt og Kathy Bakers tv-datter og første barn, Kimberly Brock i Under overfladen og Piper Halliwell i serien Heksene fra Warren Manor (Fra 1998 til 2006). Holly var også producer i serien; hun begyndte som producer den 22. september 2002, hvor hun var med til at producere afsnittet A Witch's Tail: Part 1. Biografi Holly blev født i San Diego, Californien, da hendes mor Lauralei Combs kun var 15 år gammel. Hendes forældre blev skilt blot 2 år efter, da de følte, de var for unge til at få et ægteskab til at fungere. Holly boede herefter mange steder med sin mor, der var skuespiller. Da Holly var syv år gammel flyttede de til New York City. Her var hun elev på skolerne Beekman Hill Elementary og The Professional Children's School of Acting. Holly blev hurtigt populær i aviser og blade, og begyndte at elske at være skuespiller som sin mor, hvorefter hun valgte at følge i sin mors fodspor. I 1993 blev Holly gift med Brian "Travis" Smith, men de blev skilt i 1997. Senere blev hun forlovet med Storm Lyndon, men de gik fra hinanden i 2000. Siden 2001 har Holly boet sammen med David W. Donoho, der også har været med i nogle få Heksene fra Warren Manor afsnit. De blev gift den 14. februar 2004. Da Holly fortæller manuskriptforfatterne at hun venter sit første barn kun et år efter at hendes karakter, Piper, fik Wyatt, er de ved at rive håret af hovederne. I starten var det nemt for producerne på serien at skjule Hollys graviditet, men da hun blev større og større indså de at de blev nødt til at give Piper et barn mere. Hollys søn, Finley Arthur Donoho, blev født den 26. april 2004. I maj 2006 i sidste afsnit af Heksene fra Warren Manor kunne man se lidt mere mave på Holly og en helt speciel glød, fordi hun var blevet gravid igen. Den 26. oktober 2006 ankom det sidste levende billede af Donoho-familien, Riley Edward Donoho. Holly Marie Combs bor nu i Los Angeles med sin mand, David Donoho, og deres sønner. Hun holder pause fra sit job for at være sammen med sin familie. | ...................wikipedia.................................................................................. Holly Marie Combs Donoho (born December 3, 1973) is an American actress. Her roles have included portrayals of Piper Halliwell in the American television series Charmed and Kimberly Brock in Picket Fences, for which she received a Young Artist Award Early life Holly Marie Combs was born in San Diego, California, USA. At the time of her birth, her mother, Lauralei Combs (née Berckhem), was sixteen years old and her father was seventeen.[3] Combs' biological parents married, but the two split up after two or some years,[4] feeling they were too young to make a marriage work. While Combs was learning to walk, she hit her head on a marble table, resulting in a scar over her right eyebrow. She went through many different homes with her mother, often having very little privacy, while her mom attempted to pursue an acting career. When Combs was seven, she and her mother moved to New York City. She was 12 when her mother married her stepfather. In New York City, Combs attended Beekman Hill Elementary and then The Professional Children School of Acting.Holly did much of small budget films like simple men and a perfect stranger but her successes were found in TV series like Picket Fences and Charmed.She also played in high budget film Ocean's Eleven starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. She did a special appearance in the movie which was a blockbuster hit . [edit] Career Although she had a number of minor roles in the late 1980s, including a brief speaking part in Oliver Stone's Born on the Fourth of July, Combs' major acting debut arrived in the 1992 TV drama series Picket Fences. She auditioned for the role of Kimberly while she was in New York. The casting agent told her that she wasn't right for the part because, "She didn't have a big enough heart." Combs retorted, "If you're looking for someone with a big heart, what the hell are you doing in New York?" She was later called back and offered the job.[3] Picket Fences ran for four years, winning Combs critical acclaim and a Young Artist award.[1][2] In 1992, Combs made her appearance in Simple Men, Chain of Desire, and Dr. Giggles, in which she plays its protagonist, the 19-year-old daughter of Cliff De Young's character and girlfriend of Glenn Quinn's character, Jennifer Campbell. Combs was with her friend Shannen Doherty when Doherty was given the pilot script for Charmed. Doherty took Combs along to the audition when Combs said she wanted to take part in the audition. When they did, Combs auditioned for the role of Prue Halliwell and Doherty for Piper Halliwell, but they ended up switching roles. Alyssa Milano and Combs both became producers for Charmed in the fifth season.[5] For the first three seasons of Charmed (debuted in 1998 and was a hit TV series, which ended in May 2006), Combs played the second oldest of the three sisters. When the eldest, Doherty, left after the third season and Rose McGowan joined the cast, Combs played the eldest sister for the remaining five seasons of the show, even though she was the youngest of the four actresses. In 2008, Combs has signed on to play the character Jane, a lead role in the American version of the television series Mistresses. Personal life In 1993, Combs married Brian "Travis" Smith; they divorced in 1997.[6] She then went on to marry former Charmed key-grip and long time boyfriend David Donoho on Valentine's Day 2004. They are parents to two boys, Finley Author Donoho and Riley Edward Donoho. Combs has four tattoos: she has a rose on her right shoulder blade, a butterfly on the inside of her right wrist, an Anglo Saxon design around her left wrist, and a Tribal design around her right wrist, which was repaired in November 2000 because the original design was unbalanced. In an article in ePregnancy Magazine, Combs admits she had been smoking from the age of fifteen whenever she was nervous.[7] That changed as soon as she found out about her pregnancy with first child, Finley Arthur, when she decided to immediately stop: “ To [stop smoking] was actually really easy because I had already started to cut down. My husband is asthmatic, and he just can't for the life of him imagine why anybody would put smoke in their mouth, so he really helped me to start cutting down.... Then when I got pregnant the smell of other people's cigarette smoke was so heinous to me that it made me not want to have a cigarette ever again. It's kind of like cheating [when] it's so easy to quit because you can't take the smel.............. |
