In film, television and on stage, Meredith Baxter is noted for her accessible portrayals of intelligent, independent women who struggle with the challenges before them. Baxter achieved success early in her care with a string of hit television series including “Bridget Loves Bernie”, the critically acclaimed drama, “Family”, and most notably, the long-running and extremely popular “Family Ties”. Meredith made a seamless transition to drama after seven years as one of America's favorite sitcom stars and quickly became one of the most sought-after actors for television movies.

Baxter relishes the challenge of characters in stories that evoke thought, even antagonism, and is often courageous in her choice of roles. In 1991, she earned an Emmy nomination for her performance as the lead character in “A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story”. She reprised her acclaimed role in “Her Final Fury: Betty Broderick, The Last Chapter”. In 1993, Baxter earned another Emmy nomination for her performance in the CBS School Break Special, “Other Mothers”, portraying the lesbian mother of a teenager who encounters prejudice.
