Melina Kanakaredes Biography

Melina%20Kanakaredes%20Biography Melina Kanakaredes Biography

With her wavy brunette hair, piercing green eyes and expressive personality, Melina Kanakaredes has been winning fans since her 1991 breakout role as Greek immigrant Eleni Andros on CBS’ daytime serial “Guiding Light”. The Ohio-born former beauty contestant spent nearly five years playing the character who moved from wide-eyed innocent to more mature wife and mother, earning a Daytime Emmy nod along the way. Her talent and abilities transcended the genre and like others who began their days in daytime (e.g., Meg Ryan, Marisa Tomei), it seemed only a matter of time before she would make the leap to primetime and features. Kanakaredes made her feature debut in Gregory Hines’ uneven portrait of an interracial romance “Bleeding Hearts” (1994) and went on to small roles in “The Long Kiss Goodnight” (1996), “Dangerous Beauty” and “Rounders” (both 1998) and “15 Minutes” (2001).

Jane Kaczmarek Biography

Jane%20Kaczmarek%20Biography Jane Kaczmarek Biography

Jane Kaczmarek already had a long and fruitful acting career comprised of roles on stage and screen, but it was her role as harried mother Lois on the hit Fox sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle” that finally placed her firmly in the spotlight two decades after her initial foray into television. An attractive and versatile dark-haired player who routinely turned in noteworthy performances, Kaczmarek had about her an air of determined self-possession that she molded around her characters, so that her regal socialites rang as true as her underprivileged scrappers. One result of this was exceptionally realistic portrayals; another was that she was frequently cast as older and more accomplished or embittered women. Kaczmarek grew up in Wisconsin and followed her acting dreams despite her traditional upbringing and initial, more practical plans to be a schoolteacher. She studied at the University of Wisconsin, Madison where she performed in school productions and became acquainted with fellow acting hopeful Tony Shalhoub, who encouraged the young woman to follow his lead to Yale’s School of Drama. There she further honed her skills, and racked up Yale Repertory credits.

Milla Jovovich Biography

Milla%20Jovovich%20Biography Milla Jovovich Biography

An exotic beauty with high cheekbones, striking blue eyes and a saucy demeanor, Milla Jovovich started modeling as a child. By the time she was 12, she was photographed by Richard Avedon as one of Revlon’s “Most Unforgettable Women in the World”. The Kiev-born Jovovich segued to the big screen in the campy “Two-Moon Junction” (1988) and landed her first starring role as the turn-of-the-century young woman stranded on a South Seas island in “Return to the Blue Lagoon” (1991), the sequel to the 1980 Brooke Shields-Christopher Atkins box-office hit, “The Blue Lagoon”. After being wasted as Christian Slater’s girlfriend in “Kuffs” and as Mildred Harris in Richard Attenborough’s biopic “Chaplin” (both 1992), the actress found that most of her role in Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused” (1993) ended on the cutting room floor. Discouraged, she briefly retired from acting to concentrate on her fledgling singing career.
