About the Author

You know me from CBS's Jericho, the only television show in a decade to be renewed after cancellation due to popular fan response. You also know me from the 141 episodes of primetime television that I have done in my twenty-year career: From Lorna Devon on NBC's long running soap opera Another World for which I was nominated twice and won the Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Younger Leading Actress to starring in television series such as TNT's Bull, NBC's Cold Feet, to name a few. I am highly recognizable for my roles in CBS's CSI and Two And A Half Men, NBC's Law And Order; Criminal Intent, Crossing Jordan, USA's SUITS and the feature film National Treasure 2, Book Of Secrets. I have recently recurred on ABC FAMILY's Nine Lives Of Chloe King and USA's Common Law. You will see me very soon playing Talia Hale in the much anticipated flashback episode of MTV's Teen Wolf. It brings me back to my home network where I began my career during my college years at NYU, as the hostess of the iconic popular MTV game show Remote Control alongside co-host Colin Quinn. My father was Matthew Louis Coppola Sr. He was born October 30, 1942 and died January 13, 1991. Everything in between these dates was a life well lived and well loved. According to the people who knew him best my father had a great sense of humor and a childlike sense of fun. He was a great athlete, a hard worker and a terrific friend. He was a pied piper to all children, a supportive, loyal husband, a dreamer, an actor and a present, fair and loving parent.
