Meredith Monroe was born in Houston, Texas, and raised in Hinsdale, Illinois. Having appeared in many advertising campaigns (such as the book covers in the 'Hardy Boys' series), she made her first appearance on an advertisement for Tylenol Sinus in 1996. This minor role was followed by more significant appearances. Her appearance as Tracey Daiken on ABC's Dangerous Minds secured her first appearance in a televsion series. Her exposure resulted in her landing the part of Laura Elizabeth Ingalls Wilder in _Beyond The Prarie: The True Story of Laura Ingalls Wilder (2002) (TV)_ . Alhough the completed project was not released until 2002, Meredith was not absent from television screens for long, playing the part of troubled teenager Andie McPhee in 1998 on the WB's Dawson's Creek for three seasons (Episodes 201 to 407). Alhough Meredith left the show in 2000 when her character left to spend a year in Italy before attending Harvard University on early acceptance; her character was so well received that she returned later in the season to film the graduation episode (Episode 422). Since her departure, Meredith has enjoyed success in film (ABC'S The One and a small appearance in Minority Report), and has now landed a major part in ABC's TV series, _"Back to Kansas" (2003)_ , where she co-stars with 'Road Trip' star, Breckin Meyer.
