A native of Flourtown, Pennsylvania, Laura Breckenridge placed equal emphasis on stage and film work; from role to role, she coupled an ingratiating, girl-next-door quality with keen dramatic instincts. She landed roles in Broadway and off-Broadway productions, including the 2002 revival of Arthur Miller's +The Crucible and the 2004 +The Moonlight Room, but received her most widespread acclaim and recognition for her ongoing supporting role as Rose Sorelli in the 2005 television series Related - a domestic comedy about the relationships and experiences of four extremely different sisters. Meanwhile, at about the same time, Breckenridge moved into feature work, focusing strongly on independently-produced efforts. These included a lead in the hit festival comedy Southern Belles (2005) and a supporting contribution to Eva Aridjis's ensemble drama The Favor (2006). Breckenridge traveled the scream queen route - and accepted yet another lead - in John Simpson's gruesome slasher film Amusement. Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
