Lacey Chabert Biography

Birth Name : Lacey Nicole Chabert

Date of Birth : 30 September 1982, Purvis, Mississippi, USA

Height : 5' 3" (1.60 m)

Occupation : Actress

In 1993, at the age of 10, she landed the plum role of Baby June in the TV musical movie version of the Broadway hit, Gypsy, starring Bette Midler as her mother. Lacey’s career took off in 1994, when she landed the role of Claudia Salinger, the youngest daughter on the new series Party of Five. Although the ratings were low at first, after the show won a Golden Globe for Best Drama and was featured on the cover of TV Guide as "The Best New Show You’re Not Watching," the ratings suddenly went through the roof.

Branching out to a new medium as well as a role requiring less angst, Chabert marked her big screen debut by appearing in the feature film remake of the popular science fiction TV series "Lost In Space" (1998). Playing Penny Robinson, Chabert held her own opposite such stars as William Hurt, Mimi Rogers and Matt LeBlanc. Voice-over acting also kept the young star busy during her "Party of Five" downtime. She traded on her musical abilities by providing the singing and speaking voice of the young "Anastasia" (1997) in the animated film. She also voiced Meg Griffin, the angst-ridden teenage daughter in the cult hit "Family Guy" (FOX, 1999-2000), but was not credited by the network. Actress Mila Kunis shared the voice role of Meg in 1999, and eventually took over the part. Chabert also voiced Eliza Thornberry for "The Wild Thornberrys" (Nickelodeon, 1998-2001), as well as the full-length feature that followed, "The Wild Thornberrys Movie" (2002). Another Nickelodeon voice role followed, "Rugrats Go Wild" (2003), where Chabert made a cameo as Eliza Thornberry.
