Carey Lowell

Lowell was born in Huntington, New York,[1][2] the daughter of geologist James Lowell.[2] She spent her childhood living in several countries, including Libya, the Netherlands, and France. In the US she also lived in Houston, Texas, and Denver, Colorado,[3] where her family settled when she was 12.[4] After a year at the University of Colorado at Boulder,[3][4] where she considered majoring in literature,[5] she moved to New York City to pursue modeling, and worked for such clients as Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein,[4] and at one point attended New York University.[5] She also studied at Manhattan’s Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre

Lowell broke into acting with the film Dangerously Close followed by a small role in the Robin Williams movie Club Paradise.[4] She went on to roles including co-starring as Bond girl Pam Bouvier in the James Bond movie Licence to Kill (1989) and, starting in 1996, as Assistant District Attorney Jamie Ross for two seasons on the television drama Law & Order, a character she reprised in 2005 for a guest role on its spinoff, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, and again on the original series in 2022 when it returned for a 21st season.[6] Immediately before getting that role, however, she had become frustrated with her acting career and had applied to study documentary filmmaking at New York University.
