Anna Kay Faris
(born November 29, 1976 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA) is
an American actress, best known for her leading roles in
the Scary Movie films as Cindy Campbell.
Film career: Her first significant film role was
in the independent production Lovers Lane (1999). Her
breakout role was the horror film parody Scary Movie
(2000). The 5'5" Faris is a natural light brunette
(as seen in the film May), but usually keeps her hair
dyed blond. She dyed her hair black for the filming of
Scary Movie so that her character more closely resembled
Neve Campbell, who played the equivalent character in
Scream, one of the films that Scary Movie was parodying.
Faris gained further popularity after becoming recurring
character Erica in the final season of the popular
American sitcom Friends. She also was in the critically
acclaimed film Lost in Translation in 2003. She has also
been in a movie called Waiting... with Ryan Renolds and
Justin Long. In 2005, she appeared in Just Friends with
Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart, playing a supporting role
as a pop-diva singer named Samantha James.
While the film received mixed reviews, it gained a small
cult-following, and many fans praised Faris for her
performance.[citation needed]Faris's roll as the motor
mouthed LaShawn Malone in Brokeback Mountain (2006)
brought her to the attention of a much wider audience,
her character being parodied by fans of the movie on the
internet. Faris starred with Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson
in the feature film My Super Ex-Girlfriend, released on
July 21, 2006. She will soon begin production on the
comedy Kids in America, playing Topher Grace's twin
sister, in addition to her upcoming films Mama's Boy
with Jeff Daniels and Diane Keaton, and Smiley Face with
Adam Brody and John Cho.
Difficult to recognize in her natural blonde state
following her turn as a raven-haired Neve Campbell
knockoff in Scary Movie (2000), Anna Faris made her
professional acting debut at the tender age of nine at
Washington's Seattle Repertory Theater.
Refining her skills in improvisational theater, Faris
later found roles in commercials and small local
productions, though her future as an actress came into
question as she pursued further education and a move
overseas.
Faris was raised in Seattle and studied English
Literature at the University of Washington after high
school, later moving to London to begin working and
writing. Longing to return to her childhood love of
acting, Faris took a role in the run-of-the-mill teen
slasher pic Lover's Lane (1999).
Making the move to Los Angeles in order to pursue an
acting career full time, Faris' previous improvisational
experiences would soon come in handy as she landed her
breakthrough role in the popular Scream-slanted spoof of
teen slasher pics, Scary Movie.
Of course that role was only the beginning for young
Faris, and after returning in Scary Movie 2 the
following year she portrayed the co-worker and love
interest of the titular character in director Lucky
McKee's offbeat sleeper May.
A supporting role in the Rob Schneider comedy The Hot
Chick was followed by the little-seen Sheer Bliss in
2002, and the following year Faris once again scored a
hit with her portrayal of a self absorbed starlet in
Sofia Coppola's critically acclaimed Lost in
Translation.
Though it may have been something of a given that Faris
would return to the screen for Scary Movie 3 in 2003,
many longtime fans were surprised to see her sporting
her original blonde locks - a move that effectively
banished the previous installments' Neve Campbell
connection and forced audiences to take Faris' finely
honed comic abilities on their own terms.
Family life and education: Faris, the daughter of
Jack (of Scottish/Irish descent) and Karen (of German,
English and French descent) and sister of Bob, grew up
in Edmonds, Washington, north of Seattle. Her parents
encouraged her to pursue acting when she was young and
she gave her first professional acting performance at
age 9 at the Seattle Repertory Theater. After attending
Edmonds Woodway High School, she studied English
literature at the University of Washington.
In 2004, Faris married actor Ben Indra, whom she met
while working on Lovers Lane and whom she had dated
since 1999. She filed for divorce on April 3, 2007,
citing irreconcilable differences.
