Laura Prepon

Laura Prepon stars as the twentysomething Chelsea, an opinionated and unapologetic young woman who lives life to the fullest in the NBC comedy "Are You There, Chelsea?" inspired by Chelsea Handler's best-selling books.

Next, Prepon stars opposite Bruce Willis and Vince Vaughn in the upcoming film "Lay the Favorite" for Director Stephen Frears. She also stars opposite Bryan Greenberg in "The Kitchen." Prepon portrays Jennifer, whose 30th birthday party is supposed to be special, but quickly spirals into a most ill-fated day she wishes she could forget.
