Lake Bell Movies
The bewitching
Lake Bell was born and raised in New York City, later heading across the state to Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs before making the leap across the pond to transfer to Rose Bruford College in London, England. It was there that she began to get her acting feet wet, appearing in numerous stage productions including The Pentecost and The Seagull.
Bell returned to the States to begin her onscreen career, appearing on two episodes of the long-running drama
ER and alongside
Jeff Goldblum in the TV movie
War Stories. In 2004, she took on the recurring role of Sally Heep on
The Practice. When that series was canceled, she continued the role on its spin-off,
Boston Legal, and stayed with the show as a regular until 2006.
Bell also appeared as a main cast member on the shortlived series
Miss Match and
Surface before making the transition to the big screen. In 2008, she played a woman being haunted by the ghost of her boyfriend's ex-fiancée in
Over Her Dead Body, alongside
Paul Rudd and
Eva Longoria Parker. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
