| BIOGRAPHY
An actress since her childhood, Holly Marie Combs appeared in
several feature films before becoming a well-known prime time
television presence in the 1990s. Born in San Diego, Combs moved
to New York as a child with her actress mother. She soon embarked
on her own acting career, appearing in TV commercials and studying
at the Professional Children's School.
Combs made her film debut playing Susan Sarandon's daughter in
Sweet Hearts Dance (1988), moving on to small parts in Oliver
Stone's second Vietnam saga Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
and arthouse favorite Hal Hartley's Simple Men (1992). Combs established
herself as an up-and-coming TV actress, though, in the role of
Tom Skerritt and Kathy Baker's daughter on producer/writer David
E. Kelley's Emmy award-winning family drama Picket Fences (1992-1996).
After the series ended, Combs stayed with the medium, starring
as Texas teen-killer Diane Zamora in the TV docudrama Love's Deadly
Triangle: The Texas Cadet Murder (1997), and as the daughter of
a murdered heiress in USA Network's Our Mother's Murder (1997).
Combs returned to series TV as grounded middle sibling Piper
on producer Aaron Spelling's Charmed in 1998. Co-starring TV vixens
Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano, the tale of three beautiful,
supernaturally endowed sisters appealed to the WB network's young
female audience, and Charmed became a hit. |
