Farrah Fawcett Biography

FarrahFawcett LogansRun Farrah Fawcett Biography
An American leading lady, mostly on TV, Farrah Fawcett possessed thick, tousled, dirty-blonde hair that inspired a styling craze and her wide sunshiny smile, statuesque appearance and fluffy vivacity made her a poster phenomenon and major media focus of the late 1970s.

Beginning as a model in advertisements which emphasized her toothsome smile (e.g., Ultra-Brite toothpaste), flowing, “feathered” hair (Wella Balsam shampoo) and soft, seductive manner (Noxema men’s shaving cream), Fawcett really caught on as one of the stars of the Aaron Spelling TV series, “Charlie’s Angels”. As Jill Munroe, one of three beauteous detectives whose boss was the off-screen voice of John Forsythe, Fawcett (billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors; she was then married to TV star Lee Majors) stood out in contrast to her brunette co-stars, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. The series, a camp classic for some, “family-style porn, a mild erotic fantasy” for others, hardly presented plausible situations or opportunities for complex characterizations, but Fawcett’s limited emoting skills if anything added a vulnerable modesty and appeal to her formidable California-girl image.

Terry Farrell Biography

Though she has several features and TV movies to her credit, Terry Farrell has thrived primarily as an actress on series television. Born Theresa Lee Farrell Grussendorf in Cedar Rapids, IA, Farrell moved to New York City to become a model. During her several years as a cover girl, she also studied acting and landed her first major role as an actress by playing a model on the short-lived TV series Paper Dolls (1984). While she continued her acting studies, Farrell had a small role in the Rodney Dangerfield comedy Back to School (1986) and appeared in the TV movies Beverly Hills Madam (1986) and The Deliberate Stranger (1986), a well-received docudrama on serial killer Ted Bundy. After she starred in the horror sequel Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992), Farrell attracted a following as Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1998). During her five years on Deep Space Nine, Farrell also appeared in the TV adaptation of Danielle Steel’s Star (1993), the B-action movie Red Sun Rising (1994), and the TV thriller Reasons of the Heart (1996). After Deep Space Nine ended, the actress stayed with TV, signing on to play Reggie, the beautiful diner worker and occasionally sharp-tongued foil to Ted Danson’s grumpy doctor on the CBS sitcom Becker (1998).

Vera Farmiga Biography

Vera%20Farmiga Vera Farmiga Biography

A porcelain-skinned, blue-eyed beauty, Vera Farmiga began her professional acting career in the mid-1990s counting among her credits performances in stage productions of “The Tempest”, “The Glass Menagerie” and “Hamlet”. Making her Broadway debut as an understudy in the 1996-1997 play “Taking Sides”, Farmiga followed up with a well-reviewed featured turn in the 1997 Off-Broadway production “Second-Hand Smoke”. That same year she was featured in the CBS “Hallmark Hall of Fame” TV-movie “Rose Hill”, and starred with then-unknown Heath Ledger on the Fox medieval adventure series “Roar”, playing female lead Catlin. A former slave turned dreadlocked battler, Farmiga’s Catlin was a fan favorite, though she would later admit embarrassment over the attention garnered for the role on the short-lived genre program. (The series did introduce her to her future husband, actor Sebastian Roache.)

1998 saw Farmiga make her big screen debut, acting in the drama “Return to Paradise”. In 2000 she played the daughters of Christopher Walken and Richard Gere in “The Opportunists” and “Autumn in New York” respectively, and made the most of her underwritten roles. 2001′s “15 Minutes” marked the actress’ breakthrough, in a part that somewhat utilized her own Eastern European background. (She was born to immigrants and raised in a Ukrainian community in New Jersey.) In the film, she played a Czech import who witnesses a crime and falls for the investigating detective (Edward Burns). Winning critical raves and audience notice for her supporting turn, Farmiga had already lined up a host of projects to continue her upward climb.

Anna Faris Biography

Anna%20Faris Anna Faris Biography

When Anna Faris’ college roommate first saw Faris in her breakthrough role in “Scary Movie,” the ex-roomie called the actress in surprise and told her “That’s so weird that you were cast, because you are not funny.” Hollywood has continually disagreed with that assessment, casting Faris in several projects where her comedic skills–subtle or, if Faris is to be believed, even unintentional–were allowed to shine.

An actress and performer since age six, the naturally blond, Seattle-bred beauty began her acting career in the independent horror feature, “Lover’s Lane.” In 2000, she received her breakout role as the hapless Cindy Campbell in the Wayans Brothers’ horror spoof feature “Scary Movie”. It was during the filming of “Scary Movie” that Faris decided to dye her blond tresses to black in an attempt to make her character look more like Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt in the “Scream” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer” features, the already-self-aware slasher hits “Scary Movie” was primarily parodying. The consistently amusing, often crude but good-natured spoof was a surprise hit–with much deserved credit going to Faris for her vanity-less performance (an admiring Hewitt sent her a bouquet of roses after seeing the film)–and the actress returned again under director Keenan Ivory Wayans’ guidance for the lesser 2001 sequel “Scary Movie 2″ and its 2003 non-Wayans follow-up, “Scary Movie 3″ (with her clueless character promoted to the full lead and parodied Courteney Cox rather than Campbell).

Dakota Fanning Biography

Dakota Fanning Dakota Fanning Biography

Evoking public amazement with her incredible acting skills, Hannah Dakota Fanning has truly established herself as the most popular child actress in the Hollywood film industry. Four awards and seven nominations she had received so far have proven that she is indeed worthy to deserve the title. It is likely because of her immense love to acting that she is always able to give brilliant performances in each movie she starred in. This infatuation has grown at her very young age, looking upon her interest to conduct some role-plays repeatedly at home. â€œI’ve always played the mom and I play my sister as the daughter,â€ she admitted. â€œI wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house.â€

Realizing Dakota’s enthusiasm to act, her parents, Steve and Joy Fanning, brought her to a playhouse near their residence where she could perform every week with other children in front of the parents. The playhouse’s instructors quickly spotted her talent, thus advised her parents to put her in an agency. The agent later suggested the family to look for an opportunity in L.A. to develop Dakota’s potentiality. A promising chance approached in 1999 as this charming little girl surprisingly was selected out of thousands to be in Tide dishwashing liquid commercial. Born on February 23, 1994 in Conyers, Georgia, she was barely five years old at that time. By the following year, she had performed in an episode of the notable TV series, such as â€œERâ€, â€œAlly McBealâ€, and â€œCSI.â€

Fann Wong Biography

Fann%20Wong Fann Wong Biography

Fann Wong is a Singapore-born actress-singer-model of Chinese origin. Born on 27 January 1971, she derived her artiste name, Fann Wong, from a combination of her father’s surname (Fann) and her mother’s surname (Wong). With GCE ‘A’ Levels and a diploma in fashion merchandising from the La Salle International Academy, her break into showbiz was when she was 16, and was crowned champion of a beauty contest in Singapore which she participated in. She stayed in the modelling circuit between 1990 to 1994, occasionally flying to Taiwan to film product endorsements for products such as Oil of Ulan. In 1994, she was discovered in Taipei by a Singapore TV producer who invited her back to Singapore to act in a drama serial, “Mei meng cheng zhen” (1994). Fann’s natural acting talent was discovered in the show, and this led to her career transition as a television actress based in Singapore. A slew of television projects soon after – including her third and award-winning serial, “Yuan jin jin sheng” (1995) – raised her profile, status and popularity such that she became a top name in Singapore by 1995.
