Debra Lynn
Messing (born August 15, 1968) is an Emmy Award-winning
American actress. She is best known for portraying Grace
Adler in Will & Grace.
Biography, Early life: Messing was born in the
New York City borough of Brooklyn to Jewish American
parents Brian Messing (a sales executive for a jewelry
manufacturer) and Sandra (who has worked as a
professional singer, banker, travel and real estate
agent). When Messing was three, she moved with her
parents and her older brother, Brett, to East Greenwich,
a small town outside Providence, Rhode Island.
During her high school years, she acted (and sang) in a
number of high school productions, including the
starring role in the musical "Annie" and
"Fiddler On the Roof".
Messing took lessons in dance, singing, and acting.
While her parents encouraged her dream of becoming an
actress, they also urged her to complete a liberal arts
education before deciding on acting as a career.
Following their advice, she attended Brandeis University
in Waltham, Massachusetts. During her junior year, she
studied theater at the prestigious London-based British
European Studio Group program, an experience that fueled
her desire to act.
In 1990, after graduating summa cum laude from Brandeis
with a bachelor's degree in theater arts, Messing gained
admission to the elite Graduate Acting Program (which
accepts only about 15 new students annually) at New York
University, where she earned a master's degree in fine
arts after three years.
Career: In 1993, Messing won praise for her
acting in the pre-Broadway workshop production of Tony
Kushner's much-lauded play Angels in America:
Perestroika. Consequently, she appeared in several
episodes (running from 1994 to 1995) of the
award-winning television series NYPD Blue.
In 1995, Messing made her film debut with a supporting
role in A Walk in the Clouds, a love story directed by
Alfonso Arau. This exposure led the Fox network to make
her the co-star of the television sitcom, Ned and
Stacey. The series lasted for two seasons, from 1995 to
1997. Messing appeared as Jerry Seinfeld's date in two
episodes of the hit television show Seinfeld: "The
Wait Out" in 1996 and "The Yada Yada" in
1997. Messing turned down a starring role in another
television sitcom to appear in Donald Margulies's
two-character play Collected Stories, which opened at
the Off-Broadway Manhattan Theater Club in 1997.
In 1998, Messing had a lead role as the
bio-anthropologist "Sloan Parker" on ABC's
dramatic science fiction television series Prey.
Meanwhile, Messing's agent had approached her with the
pilot script for the television show Will & Grace.
Messing was inclined to take some time off, but the
pilot for Will & Grace intrigued her, and she
received the role of Grace Adler, beating out Nicollette
Sheridan (Knots Landing, Desperate Housewives), who
later guest starred on the show as a romantic rival of
Grace's. Will & Grace became a big ratings success,
and Messing gained renown. A lot of Messing's personal
characteristics--her red hair, enormous feet, wide teeth
and Jewish ancestory--were ripe, fertile fodder for the
shows writers. And it help to cement Messing as an icon.
In 2002, she was named one of the "50 Most
Beautiful People in the World" by People Magazine.
TV Guide picked her as its "Best Dressed
Woman" in 2003. This was ironic because on
"Will and Grace," one of the running jokes on
the show is her character's remarkably poor fashion
sense.
Messing was personally picked by director Woody Allen
for a small role in his 1998 film Hollywood Ending. Her
big-screen roles since include a happily married but
ill-fated wife in the supernatural thriller The Mothman
Prophecies (2002) and a supporting role in Along Came
Polly (2004).
The Wedding Date (2005) was Messing's first leading role
in a high-profile film. It received mixed reviews but
performed fairly well at the box office. Messing was
featured as a judge on the season finale of the second
season of Bravo's hit reality show, Project Runway. In
2007, she is scheduled to appear in a new TV mini-series
called The Starter Wife. Her combination of beauty and a
talent for physical comedy have led some critics to
compare her to Lucille Ball.
Personal life: Messing met her husband, Daniel
Zelman (an actor and screenwriter), on their first day
as graduate students at NYU. The two were married on
September 3, 2000, and live in New York City. On April
7, 2004, Messing gave birth to their son, Roman Walker
Zelman. According to Star Magazine, Messing recently
moved back to New York from LA.
