A native of Lakewood, Ohio, Holly studied stage acting in Chicago with the acclaimed Remains Theatre Co., where she starred in the American premiere of "Road", "Our Country's Good" and "Lloyd's Prayer", and plays at the Goodman Theatre with Tony award-winning director Robert Falls. She has been working in TV and Film in Hollywood for the last fifteen years. When she was younger she played every famous (Jamie Lee Curtis, Ellen DeGeneres, Rene Russo, etc.) actress' best friend and now she plays wacky aunts and TV mom to Ashlee Simpson. She's real life mom to Daniel (14) and Sasha (12), and has the extreme good fortune to be married to actor Ron Bottitta. She and her family have three rescued dogs, two rescued cats, and live in Hancock Park, or technically, Koreatown-adjacent.
