Early Life & Education

Christina Moore was born on April 12, 1973 in Palatine, Illinois, a northwest suburb of Chicago, and grew up in a warm, church-centered family. As a child she was always performing, singing in church with other kids and putting on living-room shows for her parents. That early love for making people laugh felt natural, and her parents encouraged her creativity instead of pushing her toward a traditional career.

At high school in Palatine, Moore joined a children’s musical theatre troupe that performed around Chicago, which gave her real stage experience as a teenager. She spent summers doing stock theatre, including performing in Young Abe Lincoln in Illinois and starring in regional productions of Annie, Cinderella and Big River. After graduation she earned her degree from the Illinois Wesleyan University School of Theatre Arts, then packed her car and moved to Los Angeles to pursue television and film full time.

Career Journey

Early Guest Roles to MADtv to That ’70s Show (1996–2004)

Moore started in Los Angeles in 1996 with small guest roles on Married… with Children, Wings and The Burning Zone, steadily building credits with sharp comedic timing. Her memorable break came in 1997 as Marjorie, Ross’s awkward girlfriend, on Friends in The One With The Tiny T-Shirt. She then joined MADtv for Season 8 in 2002–2003, appearing in 25 episodes with standout impressions of Christina Aguilera, Sharon Stone and Brittany Murphy.

In 2003 she replaced Lisa Robin Kelly as Eric’s manipulative older sister Laurie Forman in Season 6 of That ’70s Show, appearing in 6 episodes opposite Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis and Laura Prepon alongside fellow MADtv alum Josh Meyers. The recast was handled respectfully, and she has always spoken kindly about Kelly’s legacy.
