#Fact
1Graduated from Seaholm High School in Birmingham, Michigan, in 1975.
2From the first introduction of Laura Innes's ER character Dr. Kerry Weaver, she walked with a limp and used a cane. The reason behind Weaver's disability went unexplained for many years (even to Innes--in an Ability Magazine interview, she said that the writers "wanted to keep it open, and not have it be something that was an issue"). Not until season 11 did the show reveal that Weaver's condition was congenital hip dysplasia. But in 2006, not long before Innes left the show, the showrunners decided to have Weaver undergo surgery that would eliminate the limp and the need for the crutch. this was because Laura Innes had started to experience some real-life medical problems from her decade of playing Weaver with a limp. In 2006, Innes told a reporter, "My real back was getting screwed up. I got a bone density test and the bottom of my spine is starting to curve on one side from 10 years of raising my hip. "I've just started going to the chiropractor. I don't need an operation.".
3Her husband David Brisbin guest-starred on ER (1994) as anesthetist Dr. Alexander Babcock.
4The first female celebrity to win the celebrity version of Jeopardy! (1984).
5During her ER (1994) debut in season two, producers found her character very intriguing; therefore, they decided to make her a regular cast member.

8Received five Best Supporting Actress nominations (1996-2000) from the 'Viewers for Quality Television' but never won the award.
9According to the 2001 People almanac, she ranked #6 in People Online's '10 Most Beautiful People'.
10In the early 1980s, her first fiancé was murdered in a parking lot. The death had a profound effect on Laura, and she still finds it hard to talk about.

Brisbin stayed with her during her hospitalizations, which led to their marriage. In 1990, she had a three month hospital stay when her son Cal was born. He was three months premature and weighed only 3 pounds, four ounces.
16Graduated in 1979 from Northwestern University where she majored in theater. She spent the next several years acting in Chicago and then New York theaters. She moved to LA, where she was discovered for ER (1994).
