Name: Elizabeth Hurley |
Elizabeth Hurley Bio The daughter of an army officer father and an elementary school-teacher mother, Liz grew up in the suburb of Basingstoke, England. Her dream as a youth was to become a dancer, so she went to a boarding school for ballet instruction when she was twelve years old. She soon returned home, however. Around the age of sixteen, Liz became caught up in the English punk-rock scene and even wore pink hair and a nose ring. Despite her punkiness, Liz won a college scholarship to the London Studio Centre. Liz parlayed her training at the London Studio Centre into theatre work and made her screen debut at the age of 21 in Bruce Beresford's movie Aria in 1987. Several roles in television and the film Remando al viento (1987) with future husband Hugh Grant. |

Continuing her streak of success, Liz drew accolades for her portrayal of the title role of Christabel Bielenberg in the BBC mini-serial Christabel in 1988. Then, in 1992, Hurley made her Hollywood film debut as a terrorist with Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57. Despite this appearance, Liz was disappointed in the lack of meaty roles she received after two years of auditioning in Hollywood, so she returned to England. Unbeknownst to Liz, her fame was soon to skyrocket for two reasons. Reason number one was the London premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral (Grant's 1994 movie), where Liz wowed the crowd by wearing a black Versace dress that was held together by nothing more than safety pins. Reason number two for Liz's fame taking off was her becoming the spokesmodel representing top cosmetics house Estée Lauder. This assignment, along with the Hugh Grant/Divine Brown incident, thrust Liz squarely into the public eye. Despite the chaos created by the incident, Liz and Grant founded Simian Films in partnership with Castle Rock Entertainment in 1994. Soon afterwards, Liz, Simian's Head of Development, discovered the script for and produced the film Extreme Measures (1996), starring Hugh Grant, Gene Hackman, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Extreme Measures, is Simian Films' first production and a departure from what Liz and Grant had planned on doing in their first production -- comedy. Liz found out about Extreme Measures after Simian Films was established, during her first meeting with executives from Castle Rock Entertainment. Since producing Extreme Measures, the well-rounded Liz has continued to be very busy with a plethora of projects. The film Austin Powers- International Man of Mystery (1997) was probably the biggest and and most successful of those projects. Liz has appeared in several movies since portraying the "shagadelic" Vanessa Kensington in Austin Powers. She had a major role in the film Dangerous Ground in 1997. After a brief absence from the big screen in 1998, Liz re-appeared with a vengeance. She starred in several films that were released within a year of each other -- Permanent Midnight (Fall 1998), My Favorite Martian (Spring 1999), Ed TV (Spring 1999), and Austin Powers 2- The Spy Who Shagged Me (Summer 1999). In addition to her starring roles in the above movies, Liz served as a producer of Simian Film's second film, Mickey Blue-Eyes, which premiered Fall 1999. The year 2000 will as busy as ever. Future movie projects include The Weight of Water with Sean Penn and Catherine McCormack and Bedazzled with Brendan Frasier. However, after a couple of years of speculation, it appears that Ms. Hurley will not portray Lara Croft from the video game Tomb Raider in the theatrical release. And, to top it all off, Hurley is still modeling for Estée Lauder. |
