Mini Biography :
>> Maura Tierney, a familiar face to television viewers after
her four-year role as newswriter Lisa Miller on NBC's critically acclaimed
series "NewsRadio" (1995), has shifted to a more dramatic gear on
the full-throttle pace of "ER" (1994) where she has received an Emmy
Award nomination for her performance as a former medical student who's
resumed her nursing career in the ER. Born in Boston, Tierney says
she prefers living in New York over Los Angeles or, for that matter,
any other city she's visited.
>> She has made a habit of travel: she and her husband drive
cross-country for fun and adventure. They've only missed two states
so far (Kansas and Iowa). However, she divides her working time between
New York and Los Angeles, where she also voiced Cathy on the animated
series "Sammy" (2000) (starring David Spade). Tierney, who has always
been interested in the dramatic arts, attended New York University
and Circle-in-the-Square Theatre School. Her stage credits include
roles in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," "The Bald Soprano,"
"Baby with Bathwater," "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" and "Talking
With."
>> The young actress had her first starring role on television
in Norman Lear's comedy series "704 Hauser" (1994). Tierney's additional
credits include starring in the television films Out of Darkness (1994)
(TV), Student Exchange (1987) (TV) and Crossing the Mob (1988) (TV).
She guest-starred in the series "Growing Pains" (1985), "Family Ties"
(1982) and NBC's "Law & Order" (1990). Tierney starred with Ben Affleck
and Sandra Bullock in the feature film Forces of Nature (1999), opposite
Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. in Instinct (1999), alongside
John Travolta and Emma Thompson in Mike Nichols' Primary Colors (1998)
and opposite Jim Carrey in Liar Liar (1997). Tierney lives in Los
Angeles with her husband, actor Billy Morrissette. Her birthday is
February 3.
