Lauralee Kristen Bell (born December 22, 1968) is an American soap opera actress.
She was born in Chicago, Illinois, and attended The Latin School of Chicago. The daughter of soap opera creators William J.
Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, and sister to Bill Bell, Jr.
and Bradley Bell as well as sister-in-law to Maria Arena Bell and Colleen Bell, Lauralee was offered a bit role as a model, Christine "Cricket" Blair, on her parents' show The Young and the Restless in 1983 and that became a contract role in 1986. Over time, her character matured from a model into a legal aid lawyer.

In January 2005, Bell asked to be released from her contract, and she appears only on a recurring basis. Lauralee married photographer Scott Martin on October 4, 1997.
They have a son, Christian James Martin, born on January 17, 2001 and a daughter, Samantha Lee Martin, born on October 28, 2002.
In June 2007, she reprised her role of Christine Blair for a short run on The Bold and the Beautiful.
In July 2010, she returned to The Young and the Restless in a recurring capacity.
Lauralee co-owned a boutique, On Sunset, which closed in 2009.
