Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth Deveraux
Donahue (born 19 June 1972 in Sydney, New South Wales)
is an Australian actress.
She chose her mother's maiden name, Montgomery, as her
stage name. She left Australia at 16 to be with her
then-boyfriend. They broke up, and she arrived in
Hollywood at 18 carrying a copy of How to Make It In
Hollywood.
Born in Australia, Poppy Montgomery (whose parents named
each of their five daughters after a flower) had her
first regular series role playing Jennifer Lukens,
Kimberly Williams' younger sister, on ABC's low-rated
but critically-applauded "Relativity"
(1996-1997). The pert blonde actress had previously made
appearances on "Party of Five" (Fox,
1995-1996), as an English lesbian confused about her
sexuality.
Montgomery arrived in Hollywood at age 18 carrying a
copy of "How to Make It In Hollywood", and,
according to her PR spin, telephoned Julia Roberts'
personal manager to inform him she was available. While
Roberts' people passed, this gutsy move did eventually
lead to representation by another management firm.
Montgomery made her feature film debut in "Devil in
a Blue Dress" (1995), playing the small role of
Renee Humphrey's sister and landed the female lead
opposite Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tom Everett Scott in
the comedy "Dead Man on Campus" (1998). On TV,
she made her longform debut in an installment of the
"Jake Lassiter" series, "Justice on the
Bayou" (NBC, 1995), but had her first lead in
"The Cold Equations" (Sci-Fi Channel, 1996),
playing a stowaway on a space ship. Rob Lowe cast
Montgomery as a model on an assignment that turns deadly
in "Desert's Edge" (The Movie Channel, 1997).
In 2002, Montgomery co-starred in the comedy series
"Glory Days." Shortly after, she portrayed the
character Samantha Spade in the CBS drama series
"Without A Trace." (2002).
She currently stars as Samantha Spade in the American
television series Without a Trace. Montgomery was the
"cover girl" for the May 2005 Stuff, which
labelled her "TV's Hottest Cop." She has also
appeared in Maxim, FHM and posed nude in the art
magazine Black+White.
Montgomery was praised for her portrayal of Marilyn
Monroe in the 2001 CBS mini-series Blonde, based on the
novel by Joyce Carol Oates.
