[edit] Bio
Christa was born in New York City, daughter of model Bonnie Trompeter. As a toddler, Christa Miller was photographed by the acclaimed Francesco Scavullo for an Ivory Snow ad with her mother, throwing her into entertainment at a very young age. At the age of three she appeared on the cover of "Redbook". Christa aspired to become an actress, but her father wanted her to be a lawyer, and her mother, a 1960s supermodel, wanted her to avoid the entertainment business because of its difficulty and stress. Despite her parents' request, she pursued a modeling career. At age 16, she landed her first commercial, for Polaroid cameras, and has been acting ever since. Miller is married to Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence. They have three children.
Miller has appeared in the shows The Drew Carey Show, Northern Exposure, Seinfeld, Party of Five, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. She can be seen in the films Deceived and Love and Happiness.
