Kelly was born in Southington, Connecticut, and raised there and in Mooresville, North Carolina. Her parents were Thomas Carl Kelly and Linda Diane (née Grimm) Kelly. She earned a BFA in acting from The Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago in 1992.

Kelly made her debut in the 1992 Married... with Children episode "Kelly Doesn't Live Here Anymore". She appeared again in 1994 in episodes of Silk Stalkings, the X-Files episode "Syzygy" from its third season, and on Charmed in 1999, as well as in direct-to-video and television films such as Amityville Dollhouse, Late Last Night and the theatrical film Jawbreaker. Kelly played Laurie Forman, the older sister of Eric Forman, on That '70s Show. She abruptly left the show midway through the third season, and her character was written out of the show to "attend beauty school". She returned to the show in the fifth season for four episodes but was replaced with Christina Moore in the sixth season.

Kelly began to have serious problems with alcohol and drug abuse sometime in 2001. Because of this, her appearances on That '70s Show became less and less frequent, due to her lack of availability to perform. She was ultimately fired at the end of the fifth season. Kelly was replaced by Christina Moore in the same role, and without further explanation, so as not to affect the continuity of the series. In an interview with ABC News, Kelly admitted that "with That '70s Show I was guilty of a drinking problem, and I ran". Kelly attributed her abuse of alcohol to trauma following a miscarriage. Likewise, her contracts to act in films and series practically disappeared until her death in 2013. Her last appearance was in the short TV drama SUX2BME, released in 2012 by Outpost Studios.

In August 2010, Kelly was arrested in North Carolina on a charge of driving while impaired. In November 2010, she pleaded guilty and was fined and sentenced to 12 months of unsupervised probation. On March 31, 2012, Kelly was arrested on a felony charge of corporal injury upon a spouse and was released on $10,000 bail. The charge was based on a complaint filed by her ex-boyfriend, John Michas. She later made public statements saying that she was the one who had been assaulted and denied Michas' claim that she assaulted him. The Los Angeles County District Attorney declined to file charges. In November 2012, police in Mooresville, North Carolina, arrested the 42-year-old Kelly and her 61-year-old husband, Robert Joseph Gilliam, after responding to a disturbance at their home. Both were charged with assault and released on bond. She later filed for divorce and a restraining order against Gilliam. On June 23, 2013, Kelly was arrested for a suspected DUI when law enforcement responded to a call about a parked car blocking a lane of traffic on the I-5 freeway. She subsequently failed field sobriety testing.

Days after checking into Pax Rehab House in Altadena, California, Kelly died in her sleep at the facility on August 15, 2013, age 43. On January 3, 2014, the Los Angeles Department of Coroner concluded that her death was due to an accidental unspecified oral "multiple drug intoxication".
