![]() Avg.User Rating: Rate this person: Actor Born: October 28, 1963 in Bristol, PA Biography:American actress "Lauren Holly" has herself admitted that turning down the female lead in the "Jim Carrey" vehicle "Ace Ventura, Pet Detective" (1994) may not have been the wisest career move. "Holly" was acting on instinct, having co-starred with another highly individual comedian, "Andrew Dice Clay", in 1990's forgettable "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane". But when profits from "Ace Ventura" soared, Lauren was more than willing to sign on for the subsequent Carrey vehicle, "Dumb and Dumber" (1995), during the filming of which she and Carrey became an item. The actress has kept busy ever since her first important TV role as Betty in "Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again" (1990) and a stint on the ABC soap opera "All My Children". Prior to her recent film success, "Holly" was perhaps best known for her role as Deputy Maxine Stewart on the CBS drama "Picket Fences" . ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
