Poppy Montgomery as Julia Bellows

A native of Sydney, Australia, Poppy Montgomery came to Los Angeles at the age of 18 with a strong desire to act. Upon her arrival in Los Angeles, she purchased a book entitled How to Make it in Hollywood. Having read a story in the book about Julia Roberts' first manager, she tracked him down. After many phone calls, he finally agreed to introduce her to some agents in Los Angeles, and she was soon guest starring on shows such as "NYPD Blue" and "Party of Five." Following this success, Montgomery was cast in the series "Relativity" and later starred in the Barry Levinson cop series "The Beat."

Montgomery's breakout role came when she was tapped to star as Marilyn Monroe in the CBS mini-series "Blonde." Marilyn was a part that she was fated to play. Montgomery had developed a fascination with Monroe during childhood and read the screen legend's biography at age 12. When the opportunity to explore the life of America's classic sex symbol was presented to her, Montgomery was more than up to the challenge, and received international acclaim for her take on the iconic Monroe.

On the big screen, Montgomery has co-starred in films such as "The Other Sister," with Diane Keaton, "Life" and "Dead Man on Campus." She recently wrapped production on the independent film "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," opposite Jennifer Westfeldt and Paul Schneider.

On television, Montgomery continues her role as FBI agent Sam Spade in the hit CBS show WITHOUT A TRACE, starring opposite fellow Australian Anthony LaPaglia, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Eric Close and Enrique Murciano. Additional television credits include a starring role in the series "Glory Days."

In her spare time, Poppy Montgomery enjoys yoga, snowboarding, horseback riding and NOT cooking.

With an illustrious career in theater, films and television, Doris Roberts was selected in 2001 by the American Film Institute as one of five Actors of the Year-Female. She went on in 2003 to receive her third Emmy Award for her role on the popular CBS series EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, which joined an earlier Emmy for "St. Elsewhere." Roberts has also been a three-time winner of the Viewers for Quality Television award and won the 2001 TV Guide Award, the 2000 Beautiful People Award and the 1999 American Comedy Award for Funnniest Supporting Female Performer in a TV Series. On March l0, 2003, the versatile actor was immortalized with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in April 2003, St. Martin's Press published her memoir, Are You Hungry, Dear?

Roberts knew she would become a professional actor at the age of six, when she portrayed a potato in a school play. Her mother took her to Broadway matinees, where she stood in back of the theater, carefully studying the performers and dreaming of being one of them. That dream came true in l955 when Roberts debuted on Broadway in "The Time of Your Life." She joined the famed Actors Studio, where her colleagues would also become illustrious performers, among them Marilyn Monroe, Kim Stanley and Maureen Stapleton.

Roberts subsequently appeared both on and off Broadway in numerous successful productions, including "It's Only a Play," Desk Set," "The American Dream," "The Death of Bessie Smith," "The Office," "Marathon 33," "The Color of Darkness," "The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild," "The Natural Look," "Last of the Red Hot Lovers," "Cheaters" and "Bad Habits," for which she won the Outer Critics Circle Award.

Lily Tomlin coaxed Roberts away from Broadway to join her comedy series, "The Lily Tomlin Comedy Hour," initiating a thriving career in television. Roberts has since been a series regular on "Angie," "The Boys," "Ladies on Sweet Street," "Remington Steele," "Maggie," "The Mary Tyler Moore Comedy Hour" and, for the past seven seasons, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. She has also appeared in the television movies "A Thousand Men and a Baby," "A Time To Heal," "Blind Faith," "Sunset Gang," "A Mom For Christmas," "The Fig Tree," "The Diary of Anne Frank," "It Happened One Christmas," "Ruby and Oswald," "The Story Teller," A Letter to Three Wives," "Jennifer, A Woman's Story," "Ordinary Hero," "One True Love" and "Sons of Mistletoe."

On the big screen, Roberts has drawn even more accolades for such films as "A Fish in the Bathtub," "My Giant," "Walking to Waldheim," "The Grass Harp," "Used People," "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," "The Night We Never Met," "Something Wild," "Barefoot In the Park," "No Way to Treat a Lady," "A Lovely Way to Die," "Honeymoon Killers," "A New Leaf," "Such Good Friends," "Little Murders," "Heartbreak Kid," "Hester Street," "The Taking of Pelham One-Two-Three," "The Rose," "Good Luck Miss Wyckoff," "Rabbit Test," "Simple Justice," "Number One With A Bullet," "Momma Mia" and the upcoming "All Over the Guy."

Roberts devotes what free time she has to community service as a founder and active supporter of Children Affected By AIDS and Puppies Behind Bars, which creates a new sense of humanity for prison inmates by providing them with pets. She is also a formidable fighter for the rights of actors against ageism. In mid-2002, Roberts made international headlines when she testified before U.S. Senator John Breaux's Special Committee on Ageism in Washington, D.C. The spirited actor was widely quoted when she observed that most of the Senators she was addressing were in their mid-60s or older and pointed out, "Gentlemen, If you were in my business, you would be out of a job," adding, "I'm 7l, and I'm still kicking."
