==Early life==
Metcalf was born in Carbondale, Illinois, the eldest of three children, with her brother James, and sister Linda,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lauren Elizabeth Metcalf - Genealogy )〕 and was raised in Edwardsville, Illinois, which she has said "isn't anywhere near a theatre".〔http://americantheatrewing.org/downstagecenter/detail/laurie_metcalf/ 〕 Her father, James, was the budget director at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville at the time of his sudden death in 1984,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Free Family Tree, Genealogy and Family History - MyHeritage )〕 and her mother, Libby, was a librarian. Her great-aunt was the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Zoë Akins. Metcalf is an alumna of Illinois State University, class of 1976. She worked as a "damn good" secretary while in college and thoroughly enjoyed seeing a pile of paper in the to-do box on one side of her desk move over to the completed side by the end of the day, as she often zoned in on the task at hand and worked through lunch.〔 She originally majored in German thinking she could work as an interpreter and then in Anthropology before accepting that majoring in Theatre was her true passion, and has said that theatre work also involves the interpreting and studying human behavior.〔 She has described herself as hideously shy, yet found the courage to audition for a few plays in high school and was "hooked", yet never considered acting as a career because of the unlikelihood of it actually leading to regular work.〔 She liked bike riding as a child.
