Laura Wright joined the cast of “General Hospital” in November
2005 as Carly Corinthos Alcazar.

Born September 11th in Washington DC and raised Clinton MD, Wright was
hit by the acting bug in the eighth grade. She performed in many high
school plays such as “Gypsy,” “Our Town” and “You Can’t
Take It With You.” She also has a director’s credit for the
production of “Father Says No.” In addition she has few local
commercials and numerous fashion shows under her belt.

After being persuaded to audition for the daytime drama “Loving,”
Wright seriously considered a career in acting and, as luck would have
it, was cast of in the ABC Daytime drama. She went on to play the role
of Ally Rescott Bowman for four years, and later in its spin-off,
“The City.”

Wright debuted on “Guiding Light” in August of 1997. There for
eight years, she played the role of ex-stripper Cassie Layne. This
street smart character won Wright a 1998 Soap Opera Digest Award for
Best New Character. And in the same year, she was named one of TV
Guide’s rising stars in daytime.

In 2012 she was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in the category of
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.

Wright resides in the Santa Barbara area with architect husband John
and two children, daughter Lauren Elizabeth and son John Michael,
where they recently opened a vineyard. In her free time she enjoys
spending time with her family, especially watching late-night
television with her husband.
