Extended Biography
Kristin Kreuk plays Laurel (age 16), the urbanite from Toronto on
the TV series Edgemont. Smart, savvy, hip and artistic, Laurel is
fundamentally shy, and feeling like a fish out of water in her new
suburban environment. Laurel is also drop-dead gorgeous. Laurel
knows Mark is off-limits - but she is falling for him. She knows
she should turn back before it's too late - but she can't.
Edgemont is Kreuk's professional debut, having previously
participated in threatre productions at Eric Hamber high school
where she was a student. Recently, Kreuk starred in the title role
for ABC's television movie Snow White, scheduled to air Spring
2001.
