Neve Campbell
Born October 3, 1973, in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, Neve
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.
