    Heidi Lenhart is an American actress best known for her lead role in the Au Pair film series and the sitcom California Dreams, and for her anime dubbing work under the name Melody Lee (sometimes spelled Melodee Lee), in particular in El Hazard: The Magnificent World and El Hazard: The Wanderers.

    Family

    She is the daughter of Cheryl Saban and Ray Lenhart, a disc jockey. She has an older sister, Tifanie, who is a voice actress. Neither she nor her sister have a relationship with their birth father.[1] Through her mother's marriage to billionaire Haim Saban, she has a half-brother and a half-sister: Ness and Tanya.

    Acting career

    She was an original cast member as Jenny Garrison in the NBC teen comedy series California Dreams. Heidi was written out of the show at the beginning of the second season when the show decided to focus on the band rather than the Garrison family.[2] Lenhart later went to star as Suzanne Carson in the syndicated television drama Fame L.A. from 1997 to 1998,[3] and had a recurring role in the final season of Fox prime time soap opera Beverly Hills, 90210 (2000).

    In film, Lenhart played the leading role of Jennifer "Jenny" Morgan in Au Pair (1999), and its two sequels Au Pair II: The Fairytale Continues (2002), and Au Pair 3: Adventure in Paradise (2009).

    Philanthropy career

    Lenhart served as a board member for her mother's non-profit, the Cheryl Saban Self-Worth Foundation for Women and Girls as a parenting, health and wellness, and education advocate and subsequently was named a director of the organization.[4]

    Personal life

    In 2002, Lenhart married actor Robin Dunne, with whom she co-starred in Au Pair II: The Fairytale Continues. They divorced in 2005. She subsequently married actor-musician Chris Stills in 2006, with whom she has two daughters.[5] Lenhart filed for divorce in 2011.[6] She writes poetry and lives in a suburb of Los Angeles.[7][8]
