Amy Linker (born October 19, 1966) was a child actress. Her most notable role was perhaps as co-starring as Lauren Hutchinson on the TV show, Square Pegs, in which she wore fake braces and a fatsuit. Before Square Pegs, Linker was in the short-lived TV series Lewis & Clark, which ran one season from 1981 to 1982. Linker now works as a substitute teacher. In 2007, Amy won the Viewers' Choice Award for "Most Beautiful Braces" at The TV Land Awards based on her performance as Lauren Hutchinson in Square Pegs.
