Landing in Hollywood at the age of twenty-four, Monica Potter wasted no time turning out an impressive body of work—and some great acting credits too! A talent and beauty like Monica Potter doesn't even need to try hard to make it. In 1994, the former Catholic schoolgirl got her start on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. It’s no surprise the industry took notice of her since this blonde beauty exudes a quiet sensuality that is both strong and vulnerable. The fact that she’s an utter knockout doesn’t hurt one bit either. As a result, Monica scored her big break on the big screen—starring opposite Academy Award winners Nicolas Cage in the action picture Con Air (1997); Robin Williams in the medical dramedy Patch Adams (1998); and Morgan Freeman in the neo-noir thriller Along Came a Spider (2001). In the rom-com I’m with Lucy (2002), the real-life Maxim cover girl plays a journalist who dates several suitors (Henry Thomas, Anthony LaPaglia, Gael García Bernal and more). When she dons a teeny weeny bikini top on a fishing boat, it’s obvious that she’s a real catch—especially when you get a gander at her tight tummy and heaving cleavage! Turning back to TV, the sexy star turned on viewers as a regular on TNT’s Trust Me (2009) and ABC’s Boston Legal (2004-2005). As Kristina Braverman on NBC’s Parenthood (2010-2014), Ms. Potter picked up a Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Drama Supporting Actress in 2013. Yet she’s always been a winner in our hearts and heads!
