Ginger of the Week

Lauren Ambrose is probably known best for her odd-ball roles than her red hair. Hailing from New Haven, Connecticut, Lauren is the daughter of an interior designer and caterer. Ambrose studied at the ACES Educational Center for the Arts and also became a trained opera singer at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute. She started her career with bit parts in films like "In & Out", but it was her jump to lead actor in 1998's "Can't Hardly Wait", that got her noticed. Ambrose is best known for her twice Emmy-nominated performance in HBO's critically acclaimed series, "Six Feet Under" (which lasted five seasons). She has since focused on stage, starring with Susan Sarandon and Geoffrey Rush in the Broadway show "Exit the King". Next up she'll star in the films "Grassroots" (with Jason Biggs and Cedric the Entertainer) and "Wanderlust" (with Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, and Malin Akerman).
