From the mid-1990s (while at Northwestern University) through 2001, Dudek appeared in various theater productions and on Broadway. She made her Broadway debut in Wrong Mountain[1] in 2000, and won the Connecticut Critics Circle Award for outstanding performance in The Glass Menagerie.[2]
After success on Broadway she made the jump to television, with her first starring role coming on the British comedy drama The Book Group in 2002 at the age of 27. She has since guest starred on many other shows, including Desperate Housewives (as Karl Mayer's girlfriend in Season 1), How I Met Your Mother (as Ted's Krav Maga-trained ex-girlfriend), Friends, Charmed, Bones, Numb3rs and Six Feet Under. She also played Lucinda Barry in the pilot episode of Psych, and a sex-offender teacher on Law and Order: CI.
Dudek had a recurring role on House as Amber Volakis (known by Dr. House as "Cutthroat Bitch"), one of ten physicians under consideration by Dr. House for permanent positions on his team. Her character survived the first series of cuts but was eliminated in the ninth episode of season 4. She then returned briefly as the love interest of Dr. Wilson, but was killed off in the season 4 finale "Wilson's Heart". Most recently, she has appeared in Mad Men as next-door neighbor Francine Hanson, and on Big Love as one of antagonist Alby Grant's wives, both recurring roles.
On film, she played the role of cruise line heiress Tiffany Wilson in the 2004 comedy film White Chicks. She also played Anthony Hopkins' daughter in The Human Stain.
Dudek was born March 22, 1975, and raised in Greater Boston , Massachusetts)(the suburb of Newton), to a family of Polish-Jewish descent and attended Northwestern University.
