Maggie Lawson

Maggie Lawson was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. When she was eight, she began appearing in local community and dinner theater productions, and at 10, she earned an on-air commercial gig at a Louisville TV station, which soon led to a steady six-year role as a TV personality who filed news reports targeted for her fellow kids. At 17, she moved to L.A. for her first professional TV appearance in a recurring role on the sitcom "Unhappily Ever After" (1995). She finished her senior year in high school with a correspondence course. In 2000, she starred in twin roles as a model and a nerdy student in the movie Model Behavior (2000) (TV). In her free time, she enjoys singing and songwriting.

Her father, Mike, is a hotel manager, and her mother, Judy, is a homemaker.
