There, she began a modelling career.[1]
[edit] Acting career
At the age of 19, she was cast in a featured role in the remake of Get Carter.[2] Smith has also appeared in such works as Christy: Return to Cutter Gap, Christy: A Change of Seasons and Christy: A New Beginning and starred in the show Mutant X, where she played the character of Emma deLauro.

In 2006 she had a recurring part on the Canadian drama Intelligence. In early 2007, she starred in the CBC mini-series Dragon Boys.
In 2008, Lauren starred in the film Pathology and became a series regular in the ninth season on the CBS hit show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She joined Grissom's team as Riley Adams, "a smart, flirtatious, and witty non-conformist who entered law enforcement to rebel against her judgmental psychiatrist father."[3] However, due to creative differences on the show, the character did not return for the tenth season.
She married German photographer Erik Steingröver on April 4, 2009.[4]
