Rosario Dawson Biography

Rosario%20Dawson Rosario Dawson Biography

New York born and bred beauty Rosario Dawson landed her first film role in Larry Clark’s controversial “Kids” (1995) after being discovered by the director while hanging out near her East Village tenement home. The unseasoned performer played Ruby in the film, a free-speaking sexually promiscuous teen who gets tested for HIV after engaging in extensive risky behavior. “Kids” was both praised and derided for its depiction of American urban youth, and the controversy resulted in the young actress winning a much larger audience for her acting bow than was expected. Her turn was appropriately chilling, although it was the dark-haired, wide-eyed fifteen-year-old’s uncommonly striking and unsettlingly attractive appearance that would separate her from the rest of the cast.

Dawson made the most of her opportunity in “Kids” and pursued an acting career. Her next major role was that of Lala in Spike Lee’s “He Got Game” (1998). Here she played a bewitching but opportunistic girlfriend to uncommonly talented basketball player Jesus (Ray Allen), eager to get her share of his potential fame and wealth. Dawson could also be seen that year in the episodic comedy “Side Streets”, playing a Puerto Rican Bronx native with relationship problems in this New York City-set feature looking at people in each of the city’s five boroughs. In 1999, Dawson teamed up with Prince for his timely re-release of his 1980s hit “1999″. This remixed version featured the actress in an introductory voiceover, offering commentary on the state of the world in the titular year. Later in 1999, she was featured in the New York City high school hostage drama “Light It Up”, playing a brainy, cool-headed student encouraging moderation in the explosive situation. 2000 saw her with a supporting role as flaky party girl Lana in the disappointing romantic comedy “Down to You”.

Kristin Davis Biography

Kristin%20Davis Kristin Davis Biography

Kristin Landen Davis was born February 23, 1965 in Boulder, Colorado, USA.

Kristin Davis first earned recognition as the pretentiously rich â€œschemerâ€ she played on Foxâ€™s Melrose Place in the mid-â€˜90s. As Brooke, she was constantly creating problems for the more regular characters, and just a year after gaining full-time character status, she had to be written off the show because of viewer dissatisfaction. However, doe-eyed Davis would find an abundance of work on television and in film, and demonstrate more versatility than she had as the â€œmeanieâ€ on Melrose.

She was born on February 24, 1965, in Boulder, CO. After moving to Columbia, SC, with her family, she attended Rutgers University. She then moved to New York City, where she worked in theater and commercials for some time. In order to work on Melrose Place, starting in 1994, she relocated to Los Angeles.

Judy Davis Biography

Judy%20Davis Judy Davis Biography

If a woman with an opinion in Hollywood is considered hazardous then Australian Judy Davis could easily qualify as one dangerous female. The petite, pale redhead, whose slash of red or brown lipstick has almost become her trademark, is considered one of the finest actresses of contemporary cinema and has garnered a reputation for her passion, high artistic standards and frank speech. Not unlike Bette Davis in the 1930s and 40s, Judy Davis was not one to suffer fools and had no trouble expressing her feelings. To her, the work was paramount and she consistently has delivered superb performances whether acting on stage, screen or TV.

The youngest of three, Davis has admitted to suffering a repressed childhood, in part due to her family’s staunch Catholicism but also tempered by the remoteness of Perth, Australia, where she was raised. After dropping out of convent school, she joined a rock and blues band and toured Asia. Returning home, Davis eventually enrolled at Sydney’s National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA), where she appeared as Juliet to Mel Gibson’s Romeo. With stage experience and a one-line role in 1977′s “High Rolling”, she auditioned for and won the star-making role of Sybylla Melvyn, the headstrong anti-heroine, of “My Brilliant Career” (1978). Davis later admitted she had difficulties with the neurotic character and occasionally clashed with director Gillian Armstrong, but her performance was undeniably forceful and earned her numerous accolades including Best Actress citations from the British Film Academy and the Australian Film Institute.

Geena Davis Biography

Geena%20Davis Geena Davis Biography

Since the early 1980s, this statuesque (about 6′) former fashion model has carefully crafted a winning screen persona that has made her one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors. While Davis’ somewhat goofy charm has been well deployed in quirky comedies (e.g., “Fletch” 1985; “Beetlejuice” 1988; “Quick Change” 1990), she has also displayed a flair for light drama, notably with an Oscar-winning turn in Lawrence Kasdan’s “The Accidental Tourist” (1988). Strikingly attractive with just a touch of gawkiness, Davis projected an all but irresistible friendliness and vulnerability in her early appearances. More often than not, her best characterizations had her starting out as an untried and fairly ditsy naif who is forced to make decisions that allow her to grow over the course of the narrative. Davis has also avoided much of the stereotypical fare offered contemporary actresses in that she’s never played a character who was dying of a terminal disease, been cast as a hooker (with a heart of gold or otherwise) or portrayed a conventional woman in peril. Her imposing physique has given her rare credibility to play athletes and other unusually physical female roles.

Stacey Dash Biography

A strikingly pretty African-American young lead and character player, Dash garnered notice in the 1990s in a series of teen roles in both features and on TV. Of West Indian and Aztec Indian descent, with clear green eyes and a light complexion, the Bronx-born Dash decided to become an actor at an early age. Early TV work included a small role in the crusading lawyer TV-movie “Farrell for the People” (NBC, 1982) and she later did guest spots on “The Cosby Show” in 1984, as a friend of Denise Huxtable’s with a secret to hide, and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” in 1994, as a pop star who captivates the series hero. Her first try at a TV series, “TV 101″ (CBS, 1988-89), with Dash as a student of an ambitious high school journalism teacher, only lasted half a season, despite critical acclaim.
