Biography
JULIE BOWEN starred in the acclaimed hit ABC comedy "Modern Family" as harried suburban mom Claire, opposite Ty Burrell and Ed O'Neill. It was a performance which has garnered her an Emmy Award nomination for the series' freshman season.
Bowen was raised in Baltimore, Maryland, where she caught the acting bug as a child while putting on plays with her two sisters in their backyard. She attended Brown University, where she starred in "Guys and Dolls," "Stage Door" and "Lemon Sky" while earning a degree in Italian Renaissance studies. She also spent a year in Florence, Italy and became fluent in Italian. During her senior year at Brown, Bowen landed the lead role in the independent film "Five Spot Jewel" and was featured in actor-director Ed Burns' debut film, "No Visible Bruises." She guest-starred on the dramatic series "Class of '96," then moved to Los Angeles where, within weeks, she landed the lead in the Showtime drama "Runaway Daughters," directed by Joe Dante.
For three seasons, she played Carol Vessey, the dream girl of former classmate-turned-lawyer Ed Stevens on the charming NBC series "Ed." She then joined James Spader and William Shatner for two seasons on ABC's "Boston Legal." Bowen's additional television credits include a recurring role as Matthew Fox's wife on the hit ABC series "Lost" and a guest star arc as Lisa Ferris, a cheese shop owner who seduces a younger man, on the darkly comedic Showtime series "Weeds."
On the big screen, she starred in the feature "Jumping the Broom," with Angela Bassett and Paula Patton. Her previous film credits include "Multiplicity," with Michael Keaton, "Crazy on the Outside," with Tim Allen and the modern classic "Happy Gilmore," opposite Adam Sandler.
In the advertising world, Bowen has been both the face of Neutrogena and the voice of Pampers.
