Mini Biography
Lisa Edelstein began her professional acting career while studying theater at N.Y.U.'s Tisch School of the Arts. After performing in a wide range of productions off and on Broadway, she authored and performed the AIDS-related musical "Positive Me" at Ellen Stuart's La Mama, in Manhattan. It was one of the earliest AIDS-related theater productions.

Lisa gained her first television experience as a host of the cable series "Awake on the Wild Side." In the last several years she has fearlessly taken on a wide variety of roles for television. She played a call-girl girlfriend on "The West Wing," David Conrad's sister on "Relativity," the transsexual boyfriend of James LeGros on "Ally McBeal" and an Orthodox Jewish woman losing custody of her kids on "Family Law." She also played James Spader's love interest on "The Practice", and has had numerous other TV roles and guest appearances.

Her latest and current role is that of hospital administrator Dr. Lisa Cuddy, in the hit medical drama "House". Watch for her in House every Tuesday night on the FOX network.

Now that's dedication.

I just got a friend to burn them to disc and send them to me.

and Rob Lowe
him and Lisa on screen is like HOTNESS overload

“All I could think of with Rob Lowe is that if I could tell my 16-year-old self that I’d be making out in bed with him, in my panties, on an incredible television show, I would have died.” Nearly a decade later, she still sounds giddy discussing their onscreen romance. “He turned me on SO much when I was in high school. I just loved him,” she says, calling the experience one of “those moments in life [where] you just wish you could go back and tell your younger self that it’s gonna be okay. Not only is it gonna be okay, but actually, there’s something you really want and it’s gonna happen!”

She is so seriously adorable.

Oy vey

I've got enough shows to watch as it is, I can't afford to become a West-Wing addict as well

I'll try to focus on the Lisa-episodes

Shining Light · 04-15-2009, 06:08 AM

I only watched the Lisa eps, I really had no idea what was going on otherwise, those kinds of shows don't really appeal to me.
