Biography

Crystal recurs as Nurse Lisa on ABC's "The Rookie" and as Angie on the hit HBO series "The Righteous Gemstones." She has just completed filming another recurring role on an upcoming Apple TV show, "High Desert" and has completed several other projects that should hit the screen soon!

Crystal was born in a small town in eastern North Carolina to Donald McLaurin and Diedra Ann Coney and later was lucky enough to gain a 2nd Dad in Terry Coney!

Raised in 6 different states: Alabama, Ohio, North Carolina, Michigan, California and North Dakota, Crystal still considers herself a southern girl at heart without the accent (unless it's needed)!

One of Crystal's proudest moments was when she captured the Miss North Carolina USA crown in 1997 and went on to be the first Black woman to represent North Carolina in the Miss USA Pageant.

Crystal is a graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication and a concentration in Dramatic Arts.

Watching College basketball is one of her favorite pastimes, more specifically "North Carolina Tar Heel Basketball" and she feels she can go to head-to-head with anyone on that subject.
