be Phoebe and Shannen was supposed to be Piper. But they thought that it didn't seem to match, so they went to see the producers
and asked them to switch.
The shooting of Charmed is a really tough job for the actresses because of the
schedule; a normal day for them is 6am to 7pm. So to have more time to sleep in the morning, Holly often goes to the studios
wearing... her pyjamas! She prefers not to bother on getting dressed and put her make up on because once she gets there, every
thing is to redo!

Holly moved to New York at the age of 7. Already her stunning looks had turned
heads, resulting in jobs in print ads and commercials. Soon these experiences lead to a desire to act, a dream shared by Holly's
mother, who herself was only 24. After a few bit parts Holly landed a lading role as Kimberly in TV drama "Picket Fences"
(1992). This show ran for 4 years, winning Holly critical acclaim and a Young Actors award. After the show ended Holly starred
in more roles in TV movies, enjoying her marriage and career success. This wasn't to last, in 1997 she divorced husband Bryan
Smith, and yearned for more challenging roles. Then in 1998 Holly's good friend Shannen Doherty told her about a new television
show based around three sisters who happen to be witches, who save the world from evil. Holly auditioned for the middle sister,
won the role, and is now known world wide for her portryal of Piper Halliwell in the WB smash hit show "Charmed" (1998).
Piper Halliwell
She is the middle child of Patty Halliwell and
Victor Bennett. Growing up, Piper took on the role of peacemaker in the family. This is evident in the many mediations between
Prue and Pheobe that she undertook in attempts to bring her vastly different sisters together. Her nurturing ability and warmth
are what make her a favorite of many.
The many talents of Piper include her culinary expertise,
managerial skills, and her ability to run and operate her club, P3. Throughout the years, Piper has struggled with becoming
a witch and not having a normal life. Now the successful owner of a nightclub called P3, Piper has taken on the reluctant
role of the oldest child. The devastating loss of Prue still leaves Piper coping day to day. She has taken on more of Prue's
protectiveness and is now leading the Charmed Ones to fulfill their destiny.
Piper has been the sister who has had the most trouble
with love. At the start of the show in her boyfriend, Jeremy, turns out to be an evil warlock. Her next Mr. Wrong was in the
form of Mark; Mark was the perfect man except for the fact he was a ghost. Josh came in next but this was only a brief thing
as he moved away. Josh was willing to stay and not leave but Piper convinced him to go.This may be because Leo, their whitelighter,
was in the picture...
Leo is Piper's one true love. Again, this relationship
was not easy. An alluring next-door neighbor, Dan, came along with promises of a normal life - something that Piper craved.
Piper realized her true feelings for Leo, however, when she came down with a life-threatening virus. Piper actually died and
Leo broke all Whitelighter rules to save her. Leo's wings were clipped because of this, and he became temporarily human.
Leo's wings were eventually returned to him, and together
Piper and Leo tried to make it work. Leo proposed quickly to Piper and they planned the wedding. A then-evil Cole let it be
known there was a wedding to be had and the Elders were notified. Leo was wisked away and Piper was heartbroken. Piper gave
an ultimatium to the Elders and Leo was brought back. They were on a trial basis for a period of time, and eventually they
were allowed to marry. Piper finally found her true love.
Holly moved to New York at age eight with her mother, where she studied acting
at the Professional Children's School.
Holly began her televison career at age ten working in commercials. Her first
movie role was in "Sweet Hearts Dance" with Don Johnson and Susan Sarandon. She is most known as "Kimberly Brooks" from the
series "Picket Fences."
She was married in 1993 to Brian "Bugsy" Smith, the marriage lasted four years. She later
was engaged to Storm Lyndon, an Elementary School Teacher, whom she met while vacationing in Mexico with co-star and best
friend, Shannen Doherty. Holly is currently married to & has a Son With David Donoho, a former key grip on the
set of Charmed.
Holly, an animal lover has thirteen pets. Three dogs, Travis a german shepard, Lola a heeler and engagement
gift from Lin Milano and Hugo. Two cats, Blue and Selena, four Lovebirds, her two beloved horses, Jesse and Jake and two hamsters,
one of which only has three legs.
Holly and her Mother have a good relationship. Lauralei, who is also an actress,
was only sixteen when Holly was born. The two beautiful women look more like sisters than Mother/Daughter.
Holly took
the role of Piper because she like the script. About her role: "Piper is so much more unreliable than me, mostly because she
overreacts and is worrisome. She's always neurotic and high-strung. I just don't have the energy to be like her all the time."
Interesting fact:
Holly has three tattoos. Not something that you would think of her character "Piper" having.
Two Bracelets, one on each wrist and a Rose on her back
