Lauren Holly voices Chihiro's mother in the English-language version of "Spirited Away." Though it's a relatively small part in the grand scheme of the movie, scenes with Chihiro's parents do bookend the film, so it's still a meaningful role. Holly also starred as Jenny Shepard in "NCIS," a major character who was a part of the series from Season 3 to Season 5. Holly left the show after her character's demise, although she made one-off appearances in Seasons 9 and 12 as well.
If the actor looks familiar, it might be because you've seen her in one of her many other projects. Holly has appeared in a ton of big movies, including "Dumb and Dumber," "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story," "What Women Want," and "Crank: High Voltage."
Holly has also been a part of many noteworthy TV projects, such as "Picket Fences," "Chicago Hope," "All My Children," and "Designated Survivor." Indeed, it would seem that the performer has stayed consistently busy with acting since she got her start in the mid-1980s.
