Timeline

1966

Lisa Edelstein (born May 21, 1966) is an American actress and artist.

1980

In response to the growing AIDS crisis of the 1980s, Edelstein wrote, composed and starred in an original musical called Positive Me which she performed at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club in New York City, receiving many accolades.

1984

She was raised in Wayne, New Jersey, and attended Wayne Valley High School, graduating in 1984.

At 16, Edelstein was a cheerleader for the New Jersey Generals.

Edelstein participated in a protest against poor working conditions.

She said she felt they were treated "like hookers" and helped organize a cheerleader walkout.

1986

She caused enough of a stir in the community to be dubbed New York City’s “Queen of the Night” by Maureen Dowd in The New York Times in 1986 in a feature article entitled “Lisa In Wonderland."

1990

She followed that with a short stint hosting MTV’s Awake on the Wild Side in 1990, then began working in earnest as an actress.

She got her SAG card appearing as a backstage make-up artist in Oliver Stone's Jim Morrison biography The Doors, and then landed a quick series of guest roles on several popular comedies, including Mad About You, Wings, The Larry Sanders Show and Sports Night, where she played a sports reporter who claimed to be a former lover of Josh Charles' character whom he did not remember.

Perhaps most famous from this time was her appearances on Seinfeld, where she played George Costanza's girlfriend in the episodes "The Mango” and "The Masseuse.”

1996

Bigger roles in TV dramas soon followed, among them the lesbian sister on ABC's Relativity (1996); a high-priced call girl turned Rob Lowe's date on The West Wing (1999); a transgender woman on Ally McBeal (2000); and Ben Covington's (Scott Speedman) girlfriend on Felicity (2001).

She also continued to land guest-star spots on such shows as ER, Frasier, Just Shoot Me!, Without a Trace, and Judging Amy, as well as small parts in the films What Women Want, Keeping the Faith, As Good as It Gets, and Daddy Day Care.

1999

While living in New York, she became involved in the club scene (known there only as "Lisa E”) with “celebutant" James St. James, who briefly refers to Edelstein in his 1999 book Disco Bloodbath.

2004

She is known for playing Dr. Lisa Cuddy on the Fox medical drama series House (2004–2011).

From 2004 to 2011, she portrayed her biggest and most notable role to date, Dr. Lisa Cuddy, the Dean of Medicine at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital and frequent adversary, friend, and eventual girlfriend of title character Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) on Fox's TV series House.

Edelstein has often spoken fondly of her experiences on the show and fellow cast and crew, especially her friendship and strong working relationship with Laurie.

2010

She has appeared in numerous magazines, including the September 2010 cover of H magazine.

She posed for PETA in an ad promoting vegetarianism, a diet she has followed for most of her life.

Edelstein was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Bonnie and Alvin Edelstein, the youngest of three children in a Jewish family.

Her father worked as a pediatrician at Chilton Memorial Hospital.

In 2014, Edelstein got her dream job landing the lead role of Abby McCarthy in the Bravo series Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce, an hour-long dramedy loosely based on the book series by Vicki Iovine focusing on the lives of newly divorced, mid-life women.

It ran for five seasons in which she got to expand her creative participation by becoming a producer, writer and director on the series.

2018

In 2018, Edelstein joined the cast of ABC's The Good Doctor in season two as Dr. Marina Blaize in a recurring role.

This reunited her with House creator David Shore as well as with Richard Schiff, who played her father on Relativity.

Edelstein then joined the award winning The Kominsky Method, a Netflix series that debuted in November 2018, playing the drug addled daughter of Alan Arkin and working alongside such actors such as Michael Douglas, Paul Reiser and Chuck Lorre.

During that time she also reunited with Rob Lowe, playing his ex-wife Gwyneth Morgan, and mother of TK Strand (Ronen Rubenstein) on the ABC drama series, 9-1-1: Lone Star.

She played a Holocaust survivor and adopted mother in the Canadian indigenous TV drama Little Bird, which was nominated for 19 Canadian Screen Awards.

Throughout her career she has lent her voice to several animated programs, including King of the Hill, American Dad!, the DC Animated Universe, The Legend of Korra, and the first video game adaptation of Blade Runner.

2020

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Edelstein began to sketch and paint.

She began working with magic marker and at the suggestion of her artist husband Robert Russell, switched to watercolor as the size of each piece grew.

Edelstein's portfolio is inspired by old family photographs that are “unintended moments, telling unintended truths”.
