Biography
Early life and education
Molly Price was born on December 15, 1966, in North Plainfield, New Jersey.[1][5] Price attended North Plainfield High School, from which she graduated in 1984.[6][7] Pursuing her passion for performance, Price earned a degree in drama from Rutgers University, where she honed her skills in acting at the Mason Gross School of the Arts.[6][7][5] This formal training provided the foundation for her transition into professional theater and screen work.[8]Personal life
Molly Evan Price has been married to Derek Kelly, a New York City Fire Department firefighter and occasional actor, since October 13, 2001.[1][5] The couple met on the set of the television series Third Watch, where Kelly made recurring appearances as a firefighter character.[9] Their son, Jake Kelly, was born in November 2003.[10][5] The family resides in New York City, where Price has been involved in firefighter support communities following the September 11, 2001, attacks, particularly in light of her husband's role on the rescue team, as highlighted in a special segment of Third Watch where she discussed his experiences.[11] Price owns Three Sisters, a gourmet sandwich shop on Block Island, Rhode Island.[5] She maintains a low public profile regarding her family life, with limited disclosures beyond occasional joint appearances at events. For instance, she attended the New York premiere of the film The History of Sound with her son Jake on September 2, 2025.[12]Acting career
Television roles
Molly Price made her television debut in a 1991 episode of the NBC procedural drama Law & Order, portraying Amy Newhouse in the season 2 episode "Misconception."[13] She returned to the series for additional guest spots, including roles as Detective Nancy Jones in 1996's "Encore," Quartermaster Stroud in 1997's "Navy Blues," and Allison Ashburn in 2006's "Choice of Evils," establishing her as a recurring presence in the franchise over the next decade.[4][2] Price achieved her breakthrough with a starring role as Officer and later Detective Faith Yokas on the NBC drama Third Watch from 1999 to 2005, appearing in all 132 episodes.[14] In the series, she portrayed a resilient New York Police Department officer navigating the high-stakes demands of her job alongside personal challenges, including a strained marriage and raising a family, which highlighted the emotional toll on first responders.[15] The role gained added resonance following the September 11, 2001, attacks, as Third Watch incorporated the tragedy into its narrative, depicting Yokas and her colleagues' involvement in rescue efforts and the ensuing trauma, contributing to the show's acclaim for its realistic portrayal of urban heroism.[16] Throughout her career, Price has delivered notable guest and recurring performances across diverse series. She appeared as Carrie Bradshaw's friend Susan Sharon in two episodes of HBO's Sex and the City, first in season 2's "The Awful Truth" (1999) and later in season 4's "Little Black Dress" (2002), bringing a layer of relatable domestic tension to the ensemble.[17] From 2014 to 2015, she recurred as Effie Barrow, the sophisticated wife of the hospital administrator, in eight episodes of Cinemax's period medical drama The Knick, adding depth to the show's exploration of early 20th-century healthcare.[4] In 2015, Price took on a recurring role as Bella in six episodes of Showtime's short-lived comedy-drama Happyish, portraying a sharp-witted colleague in the advertising world.[18][19] More recently, Price has continued to shine in procedural formats, recurring as Detective Jackie Donnelly in Elsbeth on CBS from 2024 to 2025, with appearances in eight episodes across the first three seasons, including episodes airing in October 2025.[20] Her portrayal of the no-nonsense detective complements the series' quirky investigative style, often providing grounded contrast to the titular character's eccentric methods.[21] Price's television career has evolved from early guest appearances in ensemble procedurals to prominent leading roles in long-running dramas, with a particular affinity for cop and medical-themed series that emphasize character-driven stories of duty and resilience.[2] This trajectory underscores her versatility within genre television, where she frequently embodies strong, multifaceted women in high-pressure environments.[4]Film roles
Molly Price's entry into film came during her rising television prominence, with a supporting role as Ann in Woody Allen's mockumentary comedy-drama Sweet and Lowdown (1999), where she depicted a figure in the protagonist's social circle amid his fictionalized life as a jazz guitarist.[22] This appearance marked an early foray into cinema, blending her stage-honed skills with Allen's ensemble-driven storytelling.[23] In the independent psychological thriller Chasing Sleep (2000), directed by Michael Walker, Price portrayed Susie, a key character in the narrative of a professor unraveling after his wife's disappearance, opposite Jeff Daniels, highlighting her capacity for nuanced emotional depth in low-budget dramas. Her performance contributed to the film's intimate exploration of grief and paranoia, earning praise for its atmospheric tension. Price continued with maternal roles in ensemble features, notably as Diana's Mother in Vadim Perelman's The Life Before Her Eyes (2007), playing the parent of Uma Thurman's central character in a nonlinear tale of school shooting aftermath and alternate realities.[24] This part underscored her ability to convey quiet resilience in family-oriented subplots within introspective dramas. Mid-career, she collaborated with The Sopranos creator David Chase on his directorial debut Not Fade Away (2012), embodying Antoinette, a family matriarch in the 1960s rock band biopic, adding grounded authenticity to the coming-of-age ensemble. Later, in John Slattery's dark comedy God's Pocket (2014), Price played Joanie, a neighborhood figure navigating working-class secrets and tragedy, alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman in one of his final leading roles. These collaborations emphasized her fit in character-driven indie films focused on blue-collar dynamics. In contemporary cinema, Price took on Mrs. Holbrook in Halina Reijn's Babygirl (2024), a thriller examining power imbalances in a corporate affair, where her portrayal enriched the familial backdrop opposite Nicole Kidman.[25] Extending into 2025, she appeared as Lionel's Mother in Oliver Hermanus's WWI-era romance The History of Sound, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, supporting the leads Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor in themes of love and loss.[26] She is also slated for Sgt./Officer Scheimreif in Drew Hancock's Roofman (2025), an authoritative police role in the true-story adaptation of a bank robber's evasion.[27] Price's film selections often feature her as authoritative or maternal presences in supportive capacities, lending emotional stability to indie and mainstream ensembles while showcasing versatility across genres from thrillers to period pieces.[1]Theater roles
Molly Price began her professional stage career in off-Broadway theater during the early 1990s. In 1992, she performed as an attendant to Salome and served as understudy for Salome and Herodias in the Circle in the Square Theatre revival of Oscar Wilde's Salome.[5][28] She continued with leading roles in contemporary off-Broadway works. In 2005, Price starred as Cookie, a high school girlfriend turned politician's wife, in Sarah Schulman's Manic Flight Reaction at Playwrights Horizons, a production that explored themes of past ideals and personal revelations.[29][30] Four years later, in 2011, she appeared in an ensemble capacity as Shelle, an Irish-American widow assisting with end-of-life decisions, in Tony Kushner's The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures at the Public Theater.[31][32] Price made her Broadway debut in 2012, taking on the role of The Woman in the revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman at the Barrymore Theatre, directed by Mike Nichols and starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as Willy Loman.[33][34] Her stage performances drew from the physical theater training she received while earning a drama degree at Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts, which emphasized movement and ensemble work to enhance character embodiment.[5][35] Subsequent television commitments limited Price's theater engagements, resulting in no major stage roles after the 2012 Death of a Salesman production.[33][4]Filmography
