Kellie Martin got her start in acting when her aunt, a nanny for Michael Landon's children, showed her picture to Landon. He asked her to audition and she obtained a guest spot on "Father Murphy" (1981). Since then, Kellie has gone on to a career-defining role on the popular TV series "ER" (1998-2000). In January of 2000 she announced she was leaving the show to finish her studies at Yale.
"I wouldn't want to be a superstar, like Julia Roberts or Madonna, and be on the cover of 'US' magazine when I'm twenty - that's how you know you're really hot. I'd rather have a long respected career."
