WCW Laura Prepon

Kids these days know her as Alex Vause. Kids in my day knew her as Hot Donna. However you know her, Laura Prepon is an amazing actress with a career that spans almost two decades.

Laura’s first acting job was the one that put her in the spotlight: Donna “Hot Donna” Pinciotti in Fox’s That 70’s Show. She was the main female lead opposite the show’s star, Topher Grace. Their characters had an off-on again relationship that lasted the entire 200-episode run.

During her time off as Donna, Laura found time for the cinema, starting with 2001’s Southlander: Diary of a Desperate Musician. She followed that up a year later with a major supporting role in Slackers.

That 70’s Show ended in 2006 and Laura went on to guest-star on multiple TV shows such as How I Met Your Mother, Castle, and House.

The year 2013 brought Laura back into the spotlight with a major role in Netflix’s original series Orange Is The New Black, as the main character’s former love interest, Alex Vause. I can’t say that she’s a role model, exactly, so for the younger readers, JAIL. IS. BAD.

Make sure you follow Laura on Twitter and catch season 4 of Orange Is The New Black on Netflix, out now.
