Laura Prepon has been praised for
her honest portrayal of Donna on That '70s Show, which marks her network
television debut. She's received critical acclaim for her performance and
Entertainment Weekly calls her a "rising star" and "wonderfully deadpan."
Raised in Watchung, NJ, a short distance from New York City, Prepon's
desire to act began at a young age and she started studying the craft at
15. She went on to study theater at the Total Theater Lab in New York.
Prepon has always loved dance and has trained in ballet. She is also a
sports enthusiast and played tennis on her high school team. In addition,
she enjoys gymnastics and riding horses.
During her hiatus from That '70s Show, Prepon worked on the independent
feature The Pornographer: A Love Story. Co-starring with Martin Donavan,
Kathleen Chalfant and Irene Jacob, the film tells the story of an
obsessive relationship between a director and an actress. Another movie
she appears in, Slackers, is a film about that all too common collegiate
lifestyle of slacking; ie, not doing what you're there for. Other members
of the cast of Slackers include : Jason Schwartzman, Devon Sawa, and James
King. Another of Laura's feature credits include the indy feature
Southlander. Opposite Beck, Beth Orton and Hank Williams, Prepon's
character "Seven=Five" is a beautiful, young television psychic who
ultimately alters the outcome of all the characters' lives.
A relative newcomer to the entertainment industry, Prepon portrayed the
lead character on the groundbreaking Internet series They Go On. She also
appeared in numerous theatrical presentations, including A Woman of
Property and Ascension Day. She currently divides her time between her
family in Watchung, NJ and Los Angeles, CA. |

"I'm not a sun person."
"I don't like wearing '70s clothes at all."
"I'm a Jersey girl and proud of it."
"When people meet me, they think I'm going to be outgoing, but I
like things low- key. I don't like people to think I'm bragging."
"Even in real life, I'd rather hang out with guys."
"I'm the tomboy so I got to be a little butch."
"I never wear makeup. When I wear makeup on the show I take it off
as soon as I can. I just like the au natural thing."
"You can always turn a bad kisser into a good one. You just have to
teach him how to do it right, and if he gets offended, then you have
to say, ‘Dude, you don’t know how to fuckin’ kiss!’ But in a fun or
playful way." |
