Born and raised in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Cross was determined to become an actress from the moment she performed in her first school play, "The Witch of Blackbird Pond," in the sixth grade. At the age of 18 she was accepted at the Juilliard School as a Drama major.

On stage Cross performed in "La Ronde" at the Williamstown Theater Festival, in "Twelfth Night" at the Hartford Stage Company, and in "Two Gentlemen of Verona" at the Old Globe in San Diego.

Leaving New York to try her luck in Los Angeles, Cross was soon landing roles in television movies such as "The Last Days of Frank and Jessie James," co-starring with Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. Her memorable role on "Melrose Place" began when she was hired for one episode. The producers were so impressed, they kept asking her back for additional appearances, eventually bringing her character back from the dead to continue on the hit show.

Cross also guest-starred on such series as "Seinfeld," where she played Jerry's dermatologist girlfriend, and "Cheers," where she portrayed the younger sister to Kirstie Alley's character. Cross has also appeared on the comedies "Ally McBeal," "Spin City," "The Garry Shandling Show" and "King of Queens." Her dramatic roles include appearances on "CSI," "Profiler" and "Touched by an Angel." Cross' film credits include ""Living in Fear," "Always Say Good-bye," "Dancing in September" and "Bad Influence."

Aside from her successful career as an actress, Cross has also made time to continue her education. She recently completed her clinical training to earn a Masters Degree in Psychology.
