Biografía de Piper Perabo

Piper Perabo was born in 1977 in Toms River, New Jersey, the daughter of an English Professor, and attended Toms River High School North. After high school ended, Piper headed off to Ohio University, where she studied acting. She graduated in 1998 with a BFA in acting. She took off to New York, where she was going to try and make it as an actress. Her career was slow to start, so Piper, had to start working at a bar to make ends meet. Meanwhile, she was working and studying at the LaMama Theatre right in the city. She grabbed a couple of roles in low-budget films, but nothing noteworth. Low budget films are nothing like the real thing. Piper's first big role was the lead female part in the film Whiteboyz (1999) in which she played the girlfriend of wannabe gangster rapper. That role will pale in comparison to the big break she had when she was cast in the role of Violet in the big budget Hollywood film, Coyote Ugly, a film whose plot sounds a lot like Piper's own life moved from New Jersey to New York and worked in a bar while waiting for a big break. Piper appears in the recent release "Rocky & Bullwinkle" and is already busy with her next role in the film Lost & Delirious which is currently being filmed in Canada. The summer of 2000 may forever be remembered as Piper Perabo freakout season. With a prominent role in the animation meets reality flick, Rocky and Bullwinkle Perabo seems primed to seize the limelight. Perabo has already demonstrated a taste for unconventional films, which makes her blossoming career all the more exciting to watch, who knows what she'll do next.

Lena Headey

Lena Headey recently starred as the female lead in the action-adventure tale, THE BROTHERS GRIMM, directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as the legendary Grimm Brothers. Headey was also recently in THE CAVE, an underwater horror / thriller / action drama starring Cole Hauser, Morris Chestnut, and Eddie Cibrian, as well as Piper Perabo, among others.

Headey is one of the latest in an illustrious line of British actresses to graduate from the English Rose school of Acting into the realm of full-bodied contemporary roles. Headey first came to the attention of audiences in 1992, when she played the younger version of Jeremy Irons' wife in WATERLAND. Her turn as a sexually adventurous schoolgirl in the film led to her being cast as a sexually adventurous maid in Merchant Ivory's THE REMAINS OF THE DAY in 1993. More period adventure followed that same year in THE SUMMER HOUSE, in which Headey played a quiet young lass being forced into a 1950s marriage with an insufferable mama's boy. After another stint as a corseted virgin in THE JUNGLE BOOK (1994), Headey finally got to take part in the latter half of the 20th century in LOVED UP (1995), written by Ol Parker, in which she played an Ecstasy-saturated raver. That same year, she took part in ITV Granada miniseries, BAND OF GOLD, in which she further distanced herself from her period past by portraying a lesbian prostitute.

The actress returned to period drama in Marleen Gorris' adaptation of Virginia Woolf's MRS. DALLOWAY (1997), which cast her as the younger version of the title character's best friend. More contemporary work subsequently came her way in Antonia Bird's FACE (also 1997), a crime thriller in which she played the social worker girlfriend of Robert Carlyle's political idealist-turned-gangster. She also starred in the romantic fantasy THE MAN WITH RAIN IN HIS SHOES (1998) as one of the love interests (along with Penelope Cruz) of an out-of-work Scottish actor (Douglas Henshall).

After supporting turns in the lavish made-for-TV MERLIN and ONEGIN, the latter of which featured her as Liv Tyler's sister, Headey crossed over into the realm of Hollywood teen-oriented offerings with GOSSIP, a college-set drama that cast her as one of three students who start a nasty rumor about two of their classmates (Kate Hudson and Joshua Jackson). Also in 2000, ABERDEEN was released. The road movie was set in Norway and Scotland and also starred Ian Hart, Charlotte Rampling, and Stellan Skarsgård.
