Christa Miller

As an American actress who was born in May 28, 1964, Christa Miller can be considered as the most successful actress amidst the television comedies series. If you still remember her early career, Christa Miller‘s foremost roles include Kate O’Brien on The Drew Carey Show and Jordan Sullivan on Scrubs (which was created by her husband Bill Lawrence).

She has also made appearances on Seinfeld, and CSI Miami. Since 2009, she has a starring role in the ABC sitcom Cougar Town, also created by husband Bill Lawrence.

Miller was born in Manhattan, the daughter of model Bonnie Trompeter[1] and niece of actress Susan Saint James also of NBC sports presenter Dick Ebersol, she has one brother called John. Miller was a model as a child, appearing in a Wonder Bread commercial when she was six months old, posing at three for Francesco Scavullo in an Ivory soap advertisement, and being photographed for the cover of Redbook.[citation needed] Her days as a child model were curtailed after an operation for a benign bone tumor. After attending Convent of the Sacred Heart, she returned briefly to modeling, but soon took acting lessons, and gave up modeling when she moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1990.[1] She was cover model and had a pictorial in the first U.S. edition of Maxim.

Miller’s first role on television was in Kate & Allie, which starred her real-life aunt, Susan Saint James. She appeared in episodes of Northern Exposure, Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Party of Five. She had a major role on The Drew Carey Show from 1995-2002 as Kate O’Brien,[2] and was the voice of Cleopatra in the short-lived animated show Clone High. Miller appeared twice on Seinfeld, as two different characters. In “The Sniffing Accountant”, she was the boss of George Costanza’s potential employer, and in “The Doodle” she was a woman whom George unsuccessfully dates.

In 2001, Miller’s husband, writer-producer Bill Lawrence, conceived a new comedy-drama, Scrubs. Miller was given a guest role as Dr. Cox’s (John C. McGinley) acerbic ex-wife Jordan Sullivan. Originally, the character was intended to appear in only one episode; in season 2, the role became recurring. When her young cousin Teddy Ebersol, son of Susan St. James and Dick Ebersol, died in a plane crash in 2004, Scrubs dedicated the season 4 episode “My Lucky Charm” to him.
