Betty Gilpin (born 21 July 1986) is an American actress known for combining sharp comedic timing with a grounded dramatic intensity. She built an early career in theatre and television, including a notable supporting run as Dr. Carrie Roman on the series Nurse Jackie, before breaking through to wider recognition as Debbie “Liberty Belle” Eagan in Netflix’s wrestling comedy-drama GLOW (2017–2019). The role earned her multiple Emmy nominations and established her as a standout lead with a distinctive, emotionally honest style.
Alongside television, Gilpin has taken on a range of film roles that often play with genre and tone, including The Hunt (2020), where she anchored the action-satire with both toughness and humour. She has also appeared in high-profile series such as American Gods and Mrs. Davis, and continues to balance mainstream projects with character-focused work. Across her career, Gilpin has become known for performances that feel both intelligent and unpredictable, often finding nuance in roles that could easily become one-note.
GLOW
GLOW was filmed in Los Angeles, around the San Fernando Valley, which gives it a strong Southern California identity rather than a generic studio feel.
