Neve Adrianne
Campbell (born October 3, 1973) is a Canadian actress.
Beginning her career on stage, she came to fame on the
1990s television series Party of Five (1994–2000), and
subsequently appeared in leading roles in several
Hollywood films, including Scream (1996–2000), The
Craft (1996) and Wild Things (1998). She has since
appeared in smaller roles.
Early life: Campbell was born in Guelph, Ontario,
Canada. Her father, Gerry Campbell, an immigrant to
Canada from Glasgow, Scotland, worked as a high school
drama teacher at Lorne Park Secondary School in
Mississauga, Ontario. Her mother, Marnie Neve, is a
psychiatrist from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Campbell's
maternal grandparents ran a theatre company in the
Netherlands and her paternal grandparents were also
performers. Campbell is Catholic, but also identifies as
Jewish because of her mother's Sephardic Jewish
ancestry, specifying that her "lineage is Jewish,
so if someone asks me if I'm Jewish, I say yes".
Her first name means "snow" in Italian and
Portuguese; and "oasis" in Hebrew.
Campbell's parents divorced during her second year of
life. She and brother Christian Campbell resided largely
with their father, with regular periods at their
mother's home, until Neve moved into residence at the
National Ballet of Canada at age ten. She trained at the
National Ballet School of Canada at the age of nine, and
appeared in performances of The Nutcracker and Sleeping
Beauty. Campbell moved from dancing into acting at the
age of fifteen, performing The Phantom of the Opera at
the Pantages Theatre in Toronto. Her first starring role
was on the short-lived Canadian television series
Catwalk.Campbell attended Earl Haig Secondary School in
Toronto, Ontario.
Career: Campbell rose to wider fame after being
cast as the lead character, Julia Salinger, in the teen
drama series Party of Five; she played this character
from 1994 to 2000. Campbell's first widely released film
was 1996's The Craft. She subsequently appeared in the
successful Scream horror film trilogy, as well as Wild
Things, and Three to Tango. She was on People's "50
Most Beautiful People" list in 1998.
Campbell knew she was meant to be on the stage, but not,
as many would assume, as an actor. From the age of six,
Campbell trained as a dancer, earning a place with the
National Ballet School of Canada when she was just nine
years old. However, her ambitions to be a professional
dancer were cut short by a series of injuries, leading
her to pursue an acting career. Campbell got her first
break on the 1992 Canadian television series Catwalk,
from which she garnered stateside attention. After a
string of minor films, Campbell eventually landed the
role of Julia Salinger on the TV series Party of Five
(1994). While the program was being saved from
cancellation by a massive base of fan support, Campbell
was finding work in film, first in the teenage coven
classic The Craft (1996).
Next came a lead role in Wes Craven's horror flick
Scream (1996), a huge success that would define American
teen films for years to come. It was duly followed up
the next year by Scream 2, which, like its predecessor,
proved to be enormously popular. In 1998, Campbell
appeared in three wildly divergent films, ranging from
the small Canadian independent Hair Shirt to 54 to Wild
Things, in which Campbell and Denise Richards starred as
two high schoolers with morally questionable
extracurricular activities. With the concurrent
successes of these films and her television work,
Campbell has proven herself to be a rare kind of
performer, moving effortlessly from television to film
and back, without the negative connotations experienced
by previous generations of actors.
Following the end of the Scream series, Campbell's
career became more low-key, and she appeared in several
films that received a limited theatrical release, but
were well reviewed by critics, including the 2000 film
Panic, in which she starred alongside William H. Macy
and Donald Sutherland, and the 2003 film The Company,
about Chicago's Joffrey Ballet. Campbell co-wrote,
produced, and starred in the film. Despite pre-release
publicity suggesting otherwise, Campbell did not break
her tradition of having a "no-nudity" clause
in her contract for the film. She did break the clause
for When Will I Be Loved, released in 2004, a film which
was praised by critic Roger Ebert, but which received
only a brief and limited theatrical release.
In March 2006, Campbell made her West End theatre debut,
in a version of Arthur Miller's Resurrection Blues at
the Old Vic theatre. The play, which received mixed
reviews, co-stars Matthew Modine and Maximilian Schell,
and was directed by Robert Altman, with whom Campbell
has previously worked with in The Company. She performed
again at the West End later in 2006 as part of Love
Song, starring alongside Cillian Murphy, Michael McKean,
and Kristen Johnston, to mixed reviews.
Personal life: Campbell married Canadian actor
Jeffrey Colt on April 3, 1995; they divorced on May 8,
1998. She has also dated actors John Cusack, Matthew
Lillard, and Pat Mastroianni. Campbell appears in
campaign literature and videos for the Tourette Syndrome
Foundation of Canada and the Tourette Syndrome
Association, (a similar organisation in the United
States). Her younger half-brother, Damian McDonald, has
Tourette syndrome. She also has an elder brother,
Christian Campbell, and another brother, Alex, both of
whom are actors.
In 2005, Campbell began dating John Light, an English
actor who she met while filming the movie Investigating
Sex. The couple became engaged in December 2005 and live
in London, England. When Light proposed, he got down on
one knee and recited Shakespeare to Campbell. They
married in Malibu on May 5, 2007.
