Marisa Coughlan
Dawnie on Wasteland

Newcomer Marisa Coughlan stars as Dawnie, a charming, virginal, and somewhat neurotic twenty-something who converges with five of her former college friends several years after graduation.

In the summer of '99, she appeared in "Wasteland" creator Kevin Williamson's directorial debut, "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," for Miramax/Dimension Films. Coughlan stars as Jo Lynn Jordan, a sexy, witty and energetic high school senior who is much less concerned with class ranking than she is with having a good time. Together with her best friend and the class heartthrob, they accidentally kidnap their sadistic history teacher (Helen Mirren) and mayhem ensues as they try to make the grade.

Coughlan also stars in the Warner Bros. feature, "Gossip," from producer Joel Schumacher. She portrays Sheila, who sprinkles some comedic relief in the otherwise dramatic film about a college communications experiment gone awry. The film is currently scheduled to open this October.

While still in high school herself, Coughlan garnered a featured role in director Tony Bill's romantic drama, "Untamed Heart," for MGM. Though her role never quite made it to the silver screen, it did increase her penchant for acting. Hence, with some feature experience, a few commercials and some local theater to her credit, Coughlan decided to head west to pursue a degree from the University of Southern California.

Her television credits include guest starring roles on such series as "Magnificent Seven," "Diagnosis Murder" and "High Society"; as well as the network telefilms, "Sleepwalker" and "Our Son, the Matchmaker."

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Coughlan currently resides in Los Angeles.
