Monica Potter

Monica Potter was born on 30th June, 1971 in Cleveland, Ohio. She is an American actress.

She was a part of the St. Jerome Parish in Cleveland, and attended the local elementary school, as well as Villa Angela Catholic School for Girls, before graduating from Euclid High School.

Miss Potter first dipped her toe in the ocean of show business back in Cleveland. Her father sent a blossoming 12-year-old Monica's photograph to a local modeling agency, which hired her immediately. When she was 18, she moved to Miami, Florida, and landed a job on a children's show that shot in Peru, which she described as the "disaster of disasters."

At the age of twelve, Potter started modeling and appearing in commercials in Chicago and Miami, before deciding to pursue an acting career. Her first role was on the daytime soap opera, The Young and the Restless.

In 2001, she had two major roles, co-starring with Freddie Prinze Jr. in Head Over Heels, and with Morgan Freeman in the thriller Along Came a Spider. She had a recurring role on the television series Boston Legal from 2004 to 2005.

Potter was married to Tom Potter, with whom she has two sons, from 1990 to 1998. She married Daniel Christopher Allison, an orthopedic surgeon, in June of 2005.
