Actor Born: July 12, 1957 in Bethlehem, PA Biography:In an era of "Mandy Patinkin" and "Glenn Close", one shouldn't be surprised that one of the loveliest and classiest leading ladies on TV in the 1980s was named "Mel Harris". After several years on the fringes of big success, things began to click all at once for Harris in 1987, beginning with a good part in the "Rutger Hauer" film "Wanted Dead or Alive". More importantly, 1987 was the year Harris landed the role of wife/mother/free-lance writer Hope Murdoch on the popular TV series thirtysomething. Harris' subsequent projects have not been as rewarding: there wasn't much she could do with her leading-lady stint in the "Jim Belushi" opus "K-9" (1989), while such melodramas as "Raising Caine" (1992) and the made-for-TV "Women of Spring Break" (1995) were beneath not only her talents, but also those of everyone else involved. Hopefully, "Mel Harris" enjoyed working on the loopy hospital comedy "Suture"... Full Biography
