Miracle Laurie (born August 1, 1981) is an American actress, best known for portraying Mellie on the Joss Whedon drama Dollhouse . [1]
Laurie started towards a professional acting career at Orange Coast College, where she was part of the student-run repertory theatre. She also appeared in several faculty-directed shows at the school. Notable roles from this period include Belle Starr and other female roles in Jessie and the Bandit Queen [2] in 2000 and Ariel in William Shakespeare's The Tempest [3] in 2001.[ citation needed ]
Laurie's first credited TV role was sorority sister Veronica in "Team", a 2004 episode of Medical Investigation . In 2009, she played Elsa in the pilot episode of The Cabonauts.
That same year, Joss Whedon cast Laurie in his show Dollhouse , which depicted a secret corporation that recruits troubled young people, stores their memories in a computer, wipes their minds (turning them into "dolls"), imprints them with new personalities, and rents them to wealthy people for special assignments. Her first major dramatic role, Laurie played a supporting character named Mellie. She also dances and plays the ukulele in Uke Box Heroes, a ukulele cover band that she co-formed with her husband.

Laurie and her mother, Cathy Anne, appeared as members of the audience in the October 6, 2010 episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson , and participated in Ferguson's opening monologue during the cold open. [5]
