Lauren Ambrose Hit High Notes Before Making it Big on TV

The actress, most well-known for her portrayal of Claire Fisher on HBO's Six Feet Under, is currently taking on the role of Jilly Kitzinger in Torchwood: Miracle Day on Starz. Turns out she has quite a musical background as well: "A former voice and opera student at Boston University Tanglewood Institute, Ambrose sings pop standards with Leisure Class, her seven-piece combo of musicians based in the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts, where she lives with her family: photographer Sam Handel, whom she wed in 2001, and their 4-year-old son, Orson."
