Born
June 10, 1965, in Hampshire, England, Elizabeth is a striking
model, film producer, and star actress. Elizabeth was an army
brat, her father an army officer and her mother an elementary
school teacher. Elizabeth had a desire to be a dancer as a
child, so at the age of 12 her parents sent her to a private
school for ballet lessons. At 16, Elizabeth went through the
punk stage with pink spiked hair and a nose ring. Elizabeth,
described as a diamond in the rough, became famous as a model
for Estée Lauder, and then made a place for herself
in the movies. |
At the age of 21, Elizabeth
played her first role in Bruce Beresford's movie "Aria"
in 1987. After a few roles in television, she met Hugh Grant when
they worked on the film "Remando al Viento" (1987). Hugh
Grant later became Elizabeth's beau. She didn't really make her
mark in the movie scene until the Austin Powers role of Vanessa
Kensington. Elizabeth's career didn't take off until she appeared
at the London premiere of "Four Weddings and a Funeral",
Hugh Grant's 1994 movie. Elizabeth wowed the crowd by wearing a
black Versace dress that was held together by nothing more than
safety pins. Elizabeth stated in an interview, that the role in
Austin Powers didn't come naturally to her. She has proven that
she can be both funny and terribly sexy, as well as play the more
dramatic roles, such as her work in "Dangerous Ground".
In addition to acting, Elizabeth
is the head of production for Simian Films, which was formed by
herself and Hugh Grant with Castle Rock Entertainment in 1994. She
produced the movie "Extreme Measures" (1996), which she
found the script for. The script so intrigued her that she convinced
Simian Films partners to back the project, and "Extreme Measures"
became the first film produced by Simian Films. Since then, Elizabeth
has produced "Mickey Blue-Eyes". In addition to her work
as producer and spokesmodel, she continues to pursue her acting
career. She starred in several films that were released within a
year of each other, "Permanent Midnight", "My Favorite
Martian", "Ed TV", and "Austin Powers 2 - The
Spy Who Shagged Me".
