Liz Stauber was born in Indianapolis to Dan Stauber, a mental health administrator, and Paula Jones, a respected psychotherapist and daughter of civic leader Vel Ryder. The couple divorced while Liz and her sister Christine were young. Liz got her first acting role as a small child in Indianapolis Junior Civic Theatre's The Velveteen Rabbit at age nine, she appeared in Macbeth at Indiana Repertory Theatre, in the role of a young boy who gets murdered. Other community plays she appeared in included Chicago Gypsies and To Kill a Mockingbird at Edyvean Repertory Theatre. She appeared in her first professional play at age 15, a part for which she auditioned, as Caroline in Daisy Foote's God's Pictures, directed by Andrew Tsao at the IRT. Local critics praised her performance, and she was cast the next year in Civic Theatre's Little Women, as the older Amy, with her younger sister, Christine, as young Amy, and their mother, Paula Jones, as Marmee. The play, directed by Lynne Perkins, received only average notices. She attended Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School before transferring to my alma mater North Central High School, graduating a semester early in January of 1997, after which she appeared as Peaseblossom (combined with any part Shakespeare indicated as "Fairy") in Indiana Repertory Theartre's stunning production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Danielle Bedau, who had filled the postion of Andrew Tsao, after he left to direct Home Improvement, and starring some of the cities finest actors, including James Solomon Benn, Miki Mathioudakis, Marita Clarke, Cristen Paige, and Millicent Wright. Liz had planned to spend the summer of 1997 at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London before studying drama at NYU, until she received a call from Andrew Tsao, who was directing The Tempest, wanting her to play the part of Miranda. On the opening night, a Creative Artists agency representative was impressed, and she got many offers from agents. She had previously auditioned for Father Hood (1993) and The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), without success. She lived on invitation in Tsao's Southern California home while he and his family were out of town. Of course, she wasn't home very much. She was cast as the "Yearbook Girl" in a film known as The Party (which became Can't Hardly Wait (1998)), but was recast as the "Gossipy Girl" to honor her time commitment for starring as Ally Hayden in Brett Leonard's T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous (1998). T-Rex also kept her out of an IRT production of A Christmas Carol she had wanted to appear in. Her favorite role remains Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird. IRT artistic director Janet Allen, IRT associate artist Priscilla Lindsay (one of the most popular and acclaimed of all Indianapolis actors), and voice teacher Jo Trakimas are those whom she cites as her biggest influences. Allen called her "incredibly disciplined and focused." Paula Jones closed her practice and moved to a neighboring town, having always wanted to live in L.A., sending Christine to Interlochen, a prestigious boarding school for the arts in Michigan, where she starred in The Nutcracker, preparing for a career as a dancer, the area Liz considers herself lacking, though she sings as well as acts. Liz has changed her view of California, having wanted to live in New York or London, and is surprised to have encountered sincere people and 'good Midwestern values.' Liz enjoys horseback riding, painting, and drawing, and really likes vampires, especially Neil Jordan's film of Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994), and while still in Indy cited him as her favorite director. She wishes to one day write and direct films herself, as well as to act, both on stage and screen.

Spunky actress, singer and comedienne all rolled up into one, Puerto Rican-American Liz Torres was born on September 27, 1947, a native of the Bronx. She began her stand-up/singing career as a regular performing in various small NYC niteries. It wasn't until she received an invite to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962) that her comic career started blooming on TV and in film. Liz has been a broadly familiar ethnic face on the sitcom circuit, having had regular or recurring parts in numerous series. In addition to regular roles on 70s TV variety shows for Melba Moore, Clifton Davis and Ben Vereen, she replaced the late Barbara Colby in the Mary Tyler Moore spinoff Phyllis (1975) starring Cloris Leachman following Colby's tragic murder. A year later she joined the All in the Family (1971) cast for a season. Liz co-starred in a number of short-lived series such as Checking In (1981), The New Odd Couple (1982) and City (1990) before hitting paydirt and scoring multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her prime role of Mahalia on The John Larroquette Show (1993). She has continued to make the guest rounds on such popular series as Ally McBeal (1997), The Nanny (1993), Quantum Leap (1989), The Wonder Years (1988) and L.A. Law (1986), often providing some necessary comedy relief amid the drama, and she is a veteran of many mini-movies, both comedic and dramatic. On Broadway, Torres replaced Tony-winning Rita Moreno as men's bathhouse entertainer Googie Gomez in the wacky comedy "The Ritz" and portrayed the bizarre character of Bunny in "House of Blue Leaves." The musical part of her has recorded for RCA and appeared in a number of stage roles that have ranged from Aldonza/Dulcinea in "Man of La Mancha" to lightweight roles in "Bye Bye Birdie" and "See Saw."

Outside the recurring roles on the law series First Monday (2002) and the Latino family drama American Family (2002), TV has proven a different story where she is best remembered for her series role as "Miss Patty" in the long-running sitcom Gilmore Girls (2000), and made numerous amusing appearances on such regular comedies as "The Fighting Fitzgeralds," "The Brothers Garcia," "Ugly Betty," "Desperate Housewives," "Devious Maids" and the Cuban-American sitcom "One Day at a Time." Long married to producer Peter Locke, the couple resides in Los Angeles.
