Megyn Price (born March 24, 1971) is an American actress, best known for her roles on television as Claudia Finnerty in the FOX Network/WB sitcom Grounded for Life (2001–2005), and Audrey Bingham on the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement (2007–2013).

Early life

Price was born in Seattle, Washington, and was raised in the Mormon religion.[1] While attending Norman High School in Norman, Oklahoma, she produced and wrote a play, Here Comes the Sun, but thought acting was "the dumbest career choice anyone could possibly make".[2] At Stanford University[3] she studied economics and communication, and continued to act in school productions, as well as perform at a conservatory theater in San Francisco. After a year as an investment banker, Price decided to pursue acting as a profession.[2]

Career

Price began her acting career in early 1990s. She made her television debut in an episode of Quantum Leap.[2][3] She also has made a number of guest appearances on television shows, including Saved by the Bell: The New Class, Renegade, The Drew Carey Show, Will & Grace, and Drop Dead Diva.[4] Her first series regular role was in the short-lived 1996 ABC comedy series Common Law opposite Greg Giraldo. From 1998 to 1999, she was lead actress in another short-lived sitcom, called LateLine on NBC. In film, she had supporting roles of Mystery, Alaska and Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector.

From 2001 to 2005, Price starred as Claudia Finnerty in The WB comedy series Grounded for Life opposite Donal Logue. She later starred as Audrey Bingham in CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement alongside Patrick Warburton and David Spade. She also directed one episode of season seven.[5] The series was cancelled after seven seasons and 100 episodes on May 2013.[6] Later in 2013, Price starred in Lifetime television movie, A Country Christmas Story,[7] and was cast in Lifetime comedy-drama pilot UnREAL as executive producer named Julia, opposite Shiri Appleby.[8] On February 6, 2014, Lifetime officially green-lit UnREAL with a 10-episode series order, set to premiere in the summer of 2014.[9] On June 2, 2014, Constance Zimmer replaced Price in the show.[10]

Personal life

Price lives in Montecito, California, with her second husband, Edward Cotner, an emergency room doctor and a former high school friend. They have a daughter, Grace.[3] Her first husband is Bill Lawrence, the creator of Scrubs and other television shows.[11]
