Margaret Colin mini-bio: Margaret Colin (born May 26, 1957) is an American actress.

After graduating from Hofstra University, Colin began her acting career in the soap opera The Edge of Night, playing an heiress and former terrorist. In seven months on that show her character survived seven murder attempts and ended up marrying her stepbrother. She followed that role with a longer stint on As The World Turns, originating the role of Margo Montgomery, a character which is still part of that show over 20 years later.

She has appeared on a number of prime-time television shows, starting with Foley Square and several early episodes of Chicago Hope. She played Lisa Wiseman on the 1999 series Now and Again with Eric Close and Dennis Haysbert. More recently, she has appeared on the Law & Order spinoffs.

Colin has also been in a number of movies, the most well-known of which are probably Something Wild (1986), Three Men and a Baby (1987), Independence Day (1996), Unfaithful (2002) and First Daughter (2004). Also, she appeared in the play Jackie: An American Life, in which she played Jacqueline Kennedy.

During her 2003 performance of the English play A Day in the Death of Joe Egg on Broadway, Colin smoked her way through the second half of the show, and dedicated the performance to Mayor Michael Bloomberg in defiance of the states' smoking ban. After the play finished the run, she gave up smoking personally.

Colin was born in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of a New York City police officer. Colin was raised on Long Island and graduated from Baldwin High School, Baldwin, New York in 1976.

Colin met actor Justin Deas when he played her love interest, Tom Hughes on As The World Turns. The couple have two sons - Sam and Joe - and Colin is stepmother of her husband's daughter from his first marriage.

Colin is a pro-life activist and is the honorary co-chair of Feminists for Life, a nonsectarian, nonpartisan organization opposed to domestic violence, child abuse, infanticide, and abortion.
