Meredith Baxter

Meredith Baxter achieved success early in her career with a string of hit television series including "Bridget Loves Bernie," the critically  acclaimed drama "Family," for which she received an Emmy nomination, and most notably, the long-running and extremely popular "Family Ties." Meredith made a seamless transition to drama after seven years as one of America's favorite sitcom stars and quickly became one of the most sought-after actors for television movies.

She earned an Emmy nomination for her performance as the lead character in "A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story." She earned another Emmy nomination for her performance in the CBS School Break Special, "Other Mothers," portraying the lesbian mother of a teenager who encounters prejudice.

Meredith has made fifty-three movies for television. Besides the Betty Broderick movies, some of the most notable include "Winnie," "Darkness Before Dawn,"  "My Breast," and "After Jimmy."  Recently, Meredith starred in "A Christmas Visitor," for the Hallmark Channel.

For a few years, she developed and produced material through her own production company.  Under that banner, Baxter executive-produced her own TV series, "The Faculty," for ABC in 1995. She also produced a number of movies for television, including "My Breast," "Betrayed: the Story of Three Women," "Darkness Before Dawn," and "The Long Journey Home."

On the stage, Baxter's credits include "Spine," "Butterflies Are Free," "Guys and Dolls," "Talley's Folly," and many different productions of "Love Letters" in theaters across the country.  In addition, as an artist-in-residence at Dartmouth College, she starred in "The Country Wife," and appeared in and co-produced the stage presentation of "The Diaries of Adam and Eve."

She can be seen in the upcoming independent feature "On The Rocks" with Timothy Bottoms and the soon to be released comedy, "The Onion Movie."

Baxter devotes much of her time to speaking out on issues about which she is passionate. A champion of women's rights, she is an active supporter of NARAL and Planned Parenthood.  For her work on 'My Breast,' she received a special award for public awareness from the National Breast Cancer Coalition.

Over the last few years, Meredith developed a line of skin care products.   A portion of the profits from the sales of all her skin care products goes to the Meredith Baxter Foundation for Breast Cancer Research, which provides and directs funds to research and prevention.

Meredith has five children and resides in Santa Monica, California.
