Holly Marie Combs

Holly Marie Combs was born on 3rd December 1973 in San Diego, California. Holly's mother, Lauralei, was just fourteen when she became pregnant with her daughter and although her mother and father did marry, they separated just two years later.

Mother and daughter moved to New York City when Holly was eight and she was enrolled in stage school shortly afterwards. Holly's first appearances came when she was just ten years old in adverts, while her mother followed her ambitions to become an actress and a singer herself.

Holly's break into the movies came with Walls of Glass in 1985, a movie in which her mother also played a part! At the age of thirteen, she landed a part as Debs Boon in Sweet Hearts Dance alongside Miami Vice's Don Johnson and Susan Sarandon.

A year later she got a part alongside Tom Cruise in Oliver Stone's blockbuster Born on the Fourth of July.

Other credits include parts in TV Soaps like The Guiding Light and As The World Turns. On the big screen, she also appeared in New York Stories.

Holly's big break with the part of Kimberly Brock on Picket Fences when she was just 18. A highly successful series - the show won fourteen Emmys in four years. Her perfomance on the show earnt her Young Artist Award for Best Young Actress in a New Television Series in 1993.

Holly was married to fellow actor Bryan 'Bugsy' Smithfrom 1993-9. She was just 19 when they met and the couple eloped after three months to get married in Las Vegas.

Her second serious romance came three years ago, when she became engaged to a school teacher she met in Mexico. Holly called off the engagement and has since been more careful and is taking things easy with her new boyfriend David Donoho, whom she met on the set of Charmed.

Holly shares her LA hacienda-style three-bedroom house with her boyfriend, her mother, three dogs - Travis, Hugo and Wiley ( who was given to her by Don Johnson) - two cats - Selena and Blue - and two birds. She also owns a horse named Jesse.

Art of Being: Holly Marie Combs

"I had to have a cheeseburger!"

Spelling it out: "I don't believe in magic the way the show believes in magic. I believe in more mystical things and intuition. I believe in positive thinking, which is basically what spells are - repeated positive thinking."
Once upon a time... "When I was in high school, I wanted to be a marine biologist. Then I got a movie and that went out the window."

Veggin' out: "I was a vegetarian for seven years. I'm not any longer. I had these terrible cravings that never went away and finally I just broke down. I had to have a cheeseburger!"

Animal addict: "I have dogs, cats, lovebirds, horses and two hamsters. One hamster only has three legs and the other's really fat."

Relatively speaking: "My little cousins absolutely love Charmed. They go to school and say, 'That's my cousin,' but of course nobody believes them. But they'll say, 'No, Piper really is my cousin!'"

The Good Girl: "Growing up, I tried to rebel. I really did. But it's hard to do that when your parents are musicians in a rock band. When I came home with my first tattoo, they thought it was cool."
Put down that rattle and step away from the diapers: "For some reason everybody on the set - except for me - thinks I should get pregnant for real. It's like they all got together and I've been nominated! Honestly, the thought of having a baby scares me!"

Going Under: "The hardest stunt I've ever done on Charmed was the episode they tried to drown me. (Laughter.) At first, being underwater was fascinating. I used to scuba dive. But it's a lot different when they put chains on you and take your oxygen away. For a second there, I actually thought they were doing away with me."

In the Doghouse: "My weekends are usually all about my animals. I have far too many of them... I have six dogs, three cats, five rabbits, three birds, a turtle, koi fish and four horses. I think that's everybody, did I cover all of the animal kingdom?"

We Are Family: "I see Alyssa more than I see my boyfriend. We are like old-time, family friends. We know everything about each other, and we've become so close we don't even have to say anything out loud in order to communicate."
