Kelli Williams was born in California on June 8, 1970. Though she had appeared in commercials since she was a baby, she was discovered by her agent at her high school play ("Romeo and Juliet"), in which she starred as Juliet opposite Hôpital central (1963)'s Steve Burton. In the early 1990s, she appeared with Tony Danza and George C. Scott in the stage production "Wrong Turn at Lungfish". There Goes My Baby (1994) was her feature film debut, co-starring with Urgences (1994) doc Noah Wyle, Dermot Mulroney (Le mariage de mon meilleur ami (1997) and Copycat (1995)) and Ricky Schroder (New York Police Blues (1993)). She has also done a long list of TV movies, as well as guest appearances before and during her run as Lindsay Dole Donnell on ABC's The practice: Bobby Donnell & associés (1997). In the summer of 2003, her critically acclaimed seven year stint on the show ended, and she has since signed for guest spots on different series, and filmed a made-for-TV movie, Un fiancé pour Noël (2004) opposite her real-life mother Shannon Wilcox and former TV-father-in-law Charles Durning.
