Lisa Ann Hadley's breakthrough roles included brief, but eye-catching parts on MELROSE PLACE and in the acclaimed Tom Cruise comedy, Jerry Maguire. Don't remember who she played? Read on...
"On MELROSE, I was Beth Burns [Peter's deceased spouse, seen via home video]. Who says a dead character can't return?" On the show, Taylor (Lisa Rinna) tried to win Peter by becoming Hadley's character, Beth - an ironic twist given that Hadley had previously tried out for Rinna's DAYS OF OUR LIVES role, Billie. "Did you know that? It's true."
As for the film role, Hadley says, "Jerry Maguire was a really fun thing to do." In it, Hadley played one of Jerry's many ex-girlfriends, all of whom appear in a video montage rating his Cro-Magnon-like dating skills. "We shot much more footage than they ended up using, but it was great. I had 20 minutes of straight improv."
