Mini biography:
Born in a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C. to a German opera
singer and a voice teacher, she grew up on the road with her
parents and younger sister. She would often perform in the
children's chorus of whatever production her mother was in. That
singing talent would later come in use for her role of an
aspiring country singer in Thing Called Love, The (1993).
Her family moved back to the Washington, D.C. area when she was a
teenager. She later enrolled in E. Carolina University in North
Carolina, USA where she studied acting. Shortly thereafter she
moved to New York to pursue a career on the stage. This led to
acting in television programs and then feature films. She gave
memorable performances in Demolition Man (1993) and
Wrestling Ernest Hemingway (1993) but did not achieve the
stardom that seemed inevitable for her until her work in the
smash hit Speed (1994/I). She now ranks as one of the most
popular actresses in Hollywood.
