Catherine Keener

American Katherine Keener during her creative career managed to take part in dozens of film projects and twice received an Oscar nomination. The woman continues to radiate optimism and enviable energy, and her creative plans for the next couple of years are already painted now.

The biography of future actress Katherine Ann Keener began on March 23, 1959 in a hot city near the Atlantic Ocean Miami, Florida, USA. The girl grew up in a large family - she has four siblings, one of whom - Elizabeth - also found herself in an acting career and work as a real estate agent in Los Angeles. Katherine's father, Jim, was a simple manager in a mattress shop, and Evelyn's mother raised the children.

On her father's side, the actress has Irish roots and Lebanese - on the mother's. Because of her work, the Keener family moved to the town of Khayalia, where Katherine spent her teenage years and received secondary education at the Catholic school of Monsignor Edward Pace. In 1983, she moved to Norton, Massachusetts, where she earned a bachelor's degree from Wheaton College as a specialist in American studies.

In her youth, Keener enrolled in a theatre course after she failed to take a place in a photo session. Perhaps this minor event in Katherine's student life influenced her further successful acting career. For the first time, she took to the stage as part of a play based on Wendy Wasserstein's play "The Unusual Woman and others" in her first year of college.

After graduating, Keener went to New York, where she found a job as an assistant at a local acting agency. A little later, the girl decided to choose Los Angeles, where she managed to take the first steps towards an artistic career.

Katherine Keener played her first cameo role in 1986. She played a young waitress with a single line in director Edward Cwick's romantic comedy "What Happened Last Night." The main roles were played by Hollywood actors Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, James Belushi.

Five years later, she took part in a musical melodrama called "Johnny Suede". The film was the debut of director Tom DiCillo. The central role of the style musician named Johnny was played by the actor Brad Pitt, who was not known at the time. Since 1991, he and Keener have maintained a friendly relationship.

The film was the winner in the category "Best Film" of the International Film Festival in Switzerland, dedicated to cinema. And Katherine's talented performance was awarded "Best Female Lead Actress" award at the Independent Spirit Award.

The next important project in the actress' not-so-saturated filmography was another Tom Dicillo film entitled "Life in Oblivion" in 1995. Along with Katherine in the comedy drama took part her husband Dermot Mulroney and the famous American artist Steve Buscemi. Keener was reincarnated as Nicole - an actress who agreed to play a loser-director named Nick Reeve only because she secretly felt for him.

A year later, Katherine was again nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for her part in the melodrama "Walking, Chatting" by the talented independent director Nicolas Holofsener. Film critics have highlighted the ability of the actress to look harmonious on the screen. At this director she starred 3 more times - in the melodrama "Rely on friends" along with his girlfriend and Hollywood beauty Jennifer Aniston and the comedies "Unnecessary Things" and "Charming and Attractive."

In the following years, Keener supplemented her creative biography with a variety of projects - ranging from the action thriller directed by Joel Schumacher "8 millimeters" and Steven Soderbergh's crime drama "Out of Sight" to the romantic comedies "True Blonde" and "The Moon Box". In 1997, the actress was invited to serve as a jury at the Sundance Film Festival.

1999 brought Katherine one of the most important roles - Maxine Land in the absurdist drama comedy "Being John Malkovich" directed by Spike Jones and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. For her talented performance, the woman for the first time received nominations for the Oscar and Golden Globe as best supporting actress.

In 2005, Keener appeared in several film projects - the dramatic arthouse "The Ballad of Jack and Rose", the crime thriller "The Translator", the comedy melodrama "The Magpie Virgin" and the biographical drama "Capote", which was met with admiration by critics and audiences.

In the latter, the actress was reincarnated as the popular American writer Harper Lee, who wrote "To Kill a Mockingbird." For this role, the woman received nominations for the Academy Award and BAFTA as Best Supporting Actress.

Two years later, Katherine was invited to play in another important project - she tried on the role of Jan in the dramatic road-movie "In the wild", based on the novel of the same name by John Krakauer. Also until the end of the zero actress appeared in the drama "New York, New York", comedy "Once in Hollywood", musical biographical film "Soloist" and others.

Bright pictures of the 2010s, in which Keener took part, were "Trust" about the cybercrime directed by David Schwimmer, "At least once in a lifetime" - a musical melodrama with Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo in the lead roles, "The Elephant Song" with Canadian Xavier Dolan and "Away" won an Oscar for best screenplay.

With her husband, producer and director Dermot Mulroney, Katherine met on the set of the adventure thriller "Fight for Survival" in 1988. And on November 17, 1990, the couple had a wedding. Nine years after their marriage, they had a long-awaited son, to whom the parents gave the name Clyde. By 2007, relations between the couple were heating up to the limit, which led to divorce.

The woman does not have a personal microblog on Instagram, but her fans cope on their own - they have created several pages on which post photos from the professional and personal life of the actress, rare images on which Katherine in a swimsuit or underwear, as well as all the latest news about the star's activities.
