Lacey Chabert's Real Name: Lacey Nicole Chabert

Quick answer: The actress is known professionally as Lacey Chabert. Encyclopedia.com and TV Guide independently give the full name Lacey Nicole Chabert. Encyclopedia.com dates her birth to September 30, 1982, in Purvis, Mississippi; the Clarion Ledger, in a 2018 profile, says she was born in Hattiesburg and grew up in Purvis until age 7.

Real name and early life

Independent publishers support the documented full name Lacey Nicole Chabert. Encyclopedia.com, in a Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television entry, gives that full name, dates the birth to September 30, 1982, in Purvis, Mississippi, and identifies her parents as Tony, a maintenance operations representative for an oil company, and Julie, a homemaker. TV Guide independently lists the birth name Lacey Nicole Chabert and the birthplace as Purvis, Mississippi. The Clarion Ledger, in a November 8, 2018, interview, independently describes her as then 36 and says she was born in Hattiesburg and grew up in Purvis until age 7, a wording that conflicts with the Purvis birthplace given by Encyclopedia.com and TV Guide; this page records both accounts and does not treat the town as settled. TV Guide says she started acting after a family vacation to New York led to Broadway work, including the role of young Cosette in Les Misérables.

Career highlights

Encyclopedia.com lists Claudia Salinger on Fox's Party of Five (1994–2000) among her series credits, along with the voice of Eliza Thornberry on Nickelodeon's The Wild Thornberrys (1998–2004), Penny Robinson in the 1998 film Lost in Space, and Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls (2004). The Clarion Ledger independently says one of her major breaks came in 1994, at age 11, when she was cast as Claudia Salinger on Party of Five, a series that lasted six years and won a Golden Globe in 1996 as best television drama, and that in 2004 she co-starred in Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Amanda Seyfried. The same profile describes her as, by 2018, widely associated with Hallmark Christmas movies. Encyclopedia.com also notes an MTV Movie Award, with others, for best on-screen team in 2005, for Mean Girls, and records that she originally voiced Meg Griffin on Family Guy; TV Guide independently notes the Family Guy voice credit.
