Point Place had a fan site before Netflix had streaming: A1 Laura Prepon launched in January 2001, midway through That '70s Show's third season. This is its 2026 rebuild — a clean, accurate guide to her acting, her directing, her books, and whatever she's cooking up next.

Career at a glance

Laura Prepon has done something few sitcom stars manage: a second act bigger than the first, then a third behind the camera. Cast at 18 as fiery girl-next-door Donna Pinciotti on That '70s Show, she spent eight seasons and 200 episodes becoming one of TV's most beloved redheads. In 2013 she reinvented herself as the magnetic, morally slippery Alex Vause on Netflix's Orange Is the New Black, part of an ensemble that won back-to-back SAG Awards. And with That '90s Show (2023–24) she came full circle — returning to Point Place as Donna while directing ten episodes of the series herself. Add two books, a cooking brand, and a growing directing résumé, and you get one of the busiest multi-hyphenates of her TV generation.
