Still lookin' GOOD!!!!

Date of Birth -- 3 December 1973, San Diego, California, USA
Birth Name -- Holly Marie Combs
Nickname -- Holz
Height -- 5' 2" (1.57 m)
Holly moved to New York at the tender age of 7. Already her stunning
looks had turned heads, resulting in jobs in print ads and commercials. Soon
these experiences lead to a desire to act, a dream shared by Holly's mother,
who herself was only 24. After a few bit parts, Holly landed a leading role
as Kimberly in TV drama "Picket Fences" (1992). This show ran for 4 years,
winning Holly critical acclaim and a Young Actors award. After the
show ended, Holly starred in more roles in TV movies, enjoying her marriage
and career success. This wasn't to last; in 1997, she divorced husband Bryan
Travis Smith and yearned for more challenging roles.
Then in 1998, Holly's good friend, Shannen Doherty, told her about a
new television show based around three sisters who happen to be witches, who
save the world from evil. Holly auditioned for the middle sister, won the
role and is now known world wide for her portrayal of Piper Halliwell in the
WB smash hit show "Charmed" (1998).
Holly now lives in Burbank with her husband and their three sons

Piper was the middle?

Stargate Universe SGU: It puts the "U" in "SUCKS"!
It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,
fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.
Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!

Yep. Pru was the oldest child, Piper the middle child, and Phoebe the
youngest child. I'm not sure, but I think the half-sister Paige was younger
than Phoebe.

I guess I only started watching when Rose came on board, so I always
thought of Piper as the oldest. Thanks!

She did act like the oldest sister and an adult (except one or twice when
under some spell or other). She seemed to have more common sense and
intelligence, as well as the best powers.

Pru always acted like a pouting, sulky teen (of course, that's all you ever
get out of Shannen "woe is me, I'm ugly, can't act and aren't the star of
the show" Doherty), and Phoebe bounced between a hyper-active toddler /
eight-year-old and a boozy, partying late teens / early 20s.

Yep. Prudence was the oldest. Piper middle..but acted like the oldest.
Pheobe the youngest and mostly irrisponsible. I seen every episode more
then 30 or 40 times. But had to stop due to sickness. Pneumonia. But
every so often I watch alittle. Paige came in during Prue's funeral. She
felt she had a connection. Not sure why? Just couple years before. Rose
seperated from oddball shock rocker Marilyn Mason(real name Brian
Warner).

Your name. You're going to have to get over your desperate hatred for
Shannen. She's an actress. Not the best. But an actress. Believe me
there's more actresses out there worse then Shannen. Who demands more
attention and perks then Shannen. Just google"Worst actress".. I'm sure
you'll find many others then Shannen.


Just wondering Your name. Have you ever done acting on stage? I have
when I was about 10 or 11. Not easy..I was scared. Just wondering.
