Early life and education

While Lake was in Grad School, she dated a fellow actor named Robert Stephan. A native of Palo Alto, California, Lake attended Yale University, where she majored in theater.[2]

Career

Lake acted in theatrical plays in New York for several years, including with Nick Jones.[3] When Jones was hired to be a writer for Orange is the New Black, Jones suggested that Lake audition for the part of Angie Rice.[3] Lake auditioned, and she got the part.[3]

Lake and Shirin Najafi created a web series called George and Julie, which is about a struggling actress in Hollywood who seeks advice from her cat George who degrades her.[3]

Lake and Najafi also created a web series called Mental, which is about two friends and their anxiety and mental instability.[4]

Personal life

Lake is married. When she was asked to do a make-out scene on Orange Is the New Black (as her character has drugs delivered via a kiss from a visitor), the producers asked her if she had someone in mind for the part, and her husband was brought in for the role.[5]
