Personal life

Luner was born in Palo Alto, California, the daughter of Susan, an actress, and Stuart Luner, a sales representative.1 She was raised in a Jewish family.2

Television career

After guest starring in several episodes of the sitcom Growing Pains, Luner went on to star as Cindy Lubbock in a spinoff, Just the Ten of Us (1988–1990). Luner returned to television in 1993 in the TV movie, Why My Daughter?, starring opposite Linda Gray. Luner followed this up with a succession of TV movies, most notably Confessions of a Sorority Girl (1994), which began her extended professional association with producer Aaron Spelling.

Luner's next big break came in 1996, when she was cast as scheming vixen Peyton Richards in Spelling's prime-time soap opera, Savannah (1996–1997).

Luner appeared with former President Jimmy Carter and actor William Hurt on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on December 17, 1996, and on Entertainment Tonight on Monday, July 28, 1997. In late August, 1998, she appeared on The Howie Mandel Show with Michael J. Fox.

Later in 1997, Luner was cast in Spelling's Melrose Place, playing the role of scheming Lexi Sterling until the show's conclusion in 1999.

In 1999, immediately following the cancellation of Melrose Place, Luner was cast as Rachel Burke, Ally Walker's replacement in NBC's Profiler. She played the role until the show was cancelled at the end of its fourth season in 2000.

2000 - present

Following the cancellation of Profiler, Luner continued to work steadily, with guest appearances on several television shows including The Outer Limits, CSI: Miami and a three-episode arc on That's Life. In 2000, Luner also starred in the independent feature Sacrifice, along with Michael Madsen.

In 2003, Luner joined the cast of another Spelling drama, playing the role of Senior Deputy Ryan Layne in 10-8: Officers on Duty (2003–2004). The series was cancelled after Luner had appeared in just five episodes. Also in 2003, Luner starred opposite Nicholas Lea in the SCI FI Channel original movie Threshold, and in 2004 guest-starred in an episode of NCIS.

In 2005, Luner appeared in four TV movies for the cable network Lifetime Television: The Suspect (2005), Blind Injustice (2005), Stranger in my Bed (2005) and The Perfect Marriage (2006).

In 2007, Luner appeared, as Susan in the comedy Black and Bluestein at The Santa Monica Playhouse. Also that year, Luner starred in Nuclear Hurricane, a Sci Fi Channel original movie, and made a guest appearance on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

In April 2009, Luner joined the cast of All My Children as Liza Colby.3
