Laurie Holden Biography
Born: December 17, 1972
Laurie Holden took one of her first on-camera bows as a teenager, in Michael_Anderson's sex farce Separate_Vacations (1986), then forked off into a series of programmers that included the 1989 Burt_Reynolds cop drama Physical_Evidence; the 1996 historical saga The_Pathfinder, based on the novel by James_Fenimore_Cooper; and the 2004 animal picture Bailey's_Billion. Holden also found some success on the small screen, playing a memorable recurring role on the seminal sci-fi series The X-Files, that of Marita Covarrubias, a mysterious government worker who becomes an informant to Special Agent Fox Mulder starting in the fourth season of that show through the final one (1996-2002). She also had a supporting role, as Mary Travis, on the shortlived Western series The_Magnificent_Seven (1998-2000).
Holden achieved her cinematic big break in 2001 -- when producers tapped her to appear as the sunny romantic interest of Jim_Carrey in Frank_Darabont's colossal fantasy The_Majestic; Holden followed it up with an equally lucrative and exciting part in yet another A-list film: Debbie McIlvane in the effects-heavy summer blockbuster Fantastic_Four (2005). She also essayed a prominant role, as a police woman, in the critically panned but fiscally successful horror opus Silent_Hill (2006), adapted from the popular video game of the same title, and re-teamed with Darabont for the horror opus The_Mist (2007) -- the tale of a deadly fog that descends on an average suburban town.
