Emily Procter

"It's not a bad idea to be single, so I can concentrate on my job."

Date of Birth: October 8th, 1968

Birthplace: Raleigh, North Carolina

For more than a decade, Emily Procter made her way through the Hollywood trenches with work as an extra and other non-glamorous roles. But why is she famous? She was Ainsley Hayes, a recurring character on The West Wing, and now stars as Calleigh Duquesne on the CBS hit show, CSI: Miami.

Is it the long blonde hair, the sexy Southern accent, the curvaceous body, or perhaps the way she handles weapons like she means business on CSI: Miami? It doesn't matter, Emily's easy on the eyes and there's something comforting about her that makes us feel like we stand a chance.

Emily Procter was born on October 8th, 1968 in Raleigh, North Carolina, to Bill Procter, a physician, and Barbara Jones, a volunteer worker. Although the two divorced two years after Emily's birth, they were both active in raising their daughter.

Growing up, Emily dreamed of becoming an actress. This was an odd choice for her since she was not allowed to watch television during her early years. Nevertheless, she performed well at Ravenscroft School in Raleigh.

Upon her high school graduation, she enrolled in East Carolina University, Sandra Bullock's alma mater, where she studied journalism and dance. What she wanted most was to join the theater department, but it was full. The Alpha Delta Pi sorority provided solace.

While attending college, Procter was able to secure a position at the CBS affiliate WNCT in Greenville as a weekend weather girl. One day, she actually fell asleep between takes and the anchorman had to nudge her awake.
