While her mother pursued an acting career, she lived in several apartments near the ocean in San Diego, often with little privacy. Holly was twelve when her mother married her stepfather.

Sweet Hearts Dance (1988), a comedy-drama directed by Robert Greenwald, gave Combs her first major role when she was 14 years old. Debs Boon, the daughter of Wiley (Don Johnson) and Sandra Boon, was played by her (played by Susan Sarandon). Her next significant role was in Oliver Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July (1989), a film adaptation of Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic’s best-selling autobiography of the same name. Combs played Jenny in the film, which also starred Tom Cruise. Her other roles include Helena in the 1989 anthology series New York Stories and Kim Fields in Hal Hartley’s Simple Men (1992). Combs also played Diana in Temstocles López’s Chain of Desire and Jennifer Campbell, the 19-year-old daughter of Tom Campbell (played by Cliff De Young) and Max Anderson’s girlfriend in the horror film Dr. Giggles (played by Glenn Quinn). Combs’ first important break as an actor occurred at the age of 18 in the CBS television series Picket Fences. She played Kimberly Brock, the daughter of Sheriff Jimmy Brock (played by Tom Skerritt), and his first wife Lydia, for four seasons (1992–96). Jimmy’s new wife, Dr. Jill Brock, was her stepmother (portrayed by Kathy Baker). Combs auditioned for the role in New York.
The following year, Combs appeared as real-life convicted killer Diane Zamora in the television film Love’s Deadly Triangle: The Texas Cadet Murder, and as Alex Morell, one of two daughters of a murdered heiress, in the fact-based drama film Daughters. In 1998, Combs got the lead role in The WB television series Charmed, playing Piper Halliwell, the middle of three witch sisters. Following the departure of Shannen Doherty at the end of season three (2000–01), Combs’ character took over as the show’s eldest sister for the remaining five seasons. Combs joined the Charmed team as a producer in season five. The series’ eight-season run ended on May 21, 2006. During her tenure on Charmed, Combs made an unpaid cameo appearance in Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven (2001), and she co-starred in the romantic comedy film See Jane Date (2003) with Charisma Carpenter, playing “a struggling actress whose career benefits from a romance with an A-list actor.”
She starred as Kathy Alden in the Lifetime television film Point of Entry (also known as Panic Button) in 2007, as a wife and mother of a single child whose family relocates to a “beautiful and purportedly secure gated neighborhood after she’s the victim of a brutal house break-in.” Combs signed a deal with Lifetime the next year to produce and star in Mistresses, an adaptation of the British series of the same name. On January 2, 2015, Great American Country debuted Off the Map with Shannen & Holly, a road trip reality show starring Combs and Doherty.
