Holly Marie Combs Pictures

Lauralei Combs was only 15 years old when she gave birth to Holly. Holly's parents' marriage only lasted two years. Holly's mother, has worked as an actress and a singer. Her stepfather is a musician. Mother and daughter lived near the beach in San Diego until Holly was eight. After that she lived with her mother and stepfather in New York City. All three lived with Holly's grandmother at one point. They lived in a long series of small studio apartments, never living in one place for very long. Holly says she is now a pack rat because she never had any place to keep things while she was growing up.

She also blames her passion for interior decorating on her gypsy-like childhood. Instead of constantly moving, she now constantly redecorates her house in the San Fernando Valley. She spent four years looking for the right house to buy. The deciding factor was a large kennel for her dogs. She was previously married to actor Bryan (Bugsy) Smith. They divorced in 1996, after four years of marriage.
