She had a promising career --

From IMDB

Spouse
Robert Joseph Gilliam (October 2012 - present) (filed for divorce)

Trivia
Left "That '70s Show" (1998) during the show's third season, and it was explained that her character left town to attend beauty school. She was invited back to the show by producers toward the end of the fifth season, and appeared in a few episodes, only to leave again at the beginning of the sixth season, replaced by Christina Moore.

Was sentenced to 12 months of unsupervised probation in North Carolina after pleading guilty to drunken driving. Was arrested by police on August 21, 2010 on suspicion of driving while intoxicated [December 20, 2010].

Graduated from the Goodman School of Drama at Depaul University with a BFA in Acting in 1992.

Filed for divorce from her husband of 8 months Robert Joseph Gilliam. [June 2013]

Where Are They Now
(November 2010) Pled guilty to DWI in North Carolina.

(March 2012) Lisa Robin Kelly was arrested on a felony charge of corporal injury upon a spouse on March 31, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.


I wonder if her leaving the show during the third season was due to her drinking problems. It looks like the producers wanted her back as she appeared in some episodes during the fifth season only to leave a second time in the sixth season.
