Early life
Elizabeth Jean Philipps was born in Oak Park, Illinois.[1] Her parents gave her the nickname Busy because as an infant she was always moving.[3] The nickname stuck; it even appears on her credit cards, but not her driver's license.[4] She attended Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. She attended Loyola Marymount University at the same time as former boyfriend Colin Hanks and Linda Cardellini.
Career
Philipps worked the toy-fair circuit as a real-life Barbie before making her show-business debut,[3] Her first major role was Kim Kelly in Freaks and Geeks, in which she appeared in all but one of its eighteen episodes (the exception being the episode titled "Chokin' & Tokin'"). She later made her film debut in comedy The Smokers in 2000, as well as various other cameos on television.
In 2001, Philipps was cast as Audrey Liddell in the teen drama Dawson's Creek. She was a series regular in seasons 5 and 6, appearing in 46 episodes, before the show finished in 2003. Her role of Audrey earned Philipps a Teen Choice Awards nomination in the category of "TV - Choice Sidekick".[5] She was later ranked #58 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2001.[6] Philipps later appeared in two films, Home Room (2002) and White Chicks (2004). She was cast in the UPN sitcom Love, Inc., in a role originally intended for Shannen Doherty. The show lasted for one season (2005–2006) before being cancelled. In 2006, she had a major recurring role as Hope Bobeck on ER. During her second year on ER, her character headed to South America to "fulfill her Christian mission".[7] Philipps had a co-credit for the storyline of the 2007 comedy film Blades of Glory.[8] A year later, Philipps returned to being in front of the camera with her supporting role in Made of Honor.
Philipps also made a brief appearance in He's Just Not That Into You as the character of Kelli Ann. Since 2009, Philipps has portrayed Laurie Keller in the television series Cougar Town. Philipps also routinely contributes to the Thrilling Adventure Hour, a live stage radio show. Her primary reoccurring character is the Red Plains Rider.[9]
On a 2010 appearance on Chelsea Lately, Phillipps commented that she auditioned for the hit television show Glee just one week after giving birth, following a pregnancy during which she gained 80 pounds.[10]
Personal life
