Elizabeth Berkley

The American model and actress Elizabeth Berkeley became famous for her role as a stripper in the acclaimed candid film of the mid-90s "Showgirls". At the same time, her career almost came under threat: the agent turned away from the girl, and other agencies did not even want to talk to her. Critics and fans of the talent note that this is the only serious image that was able to be embodied on the screen. Most of the films with Elizabeth's participation are comedy, and mostly she gets small roles.

Elizabeth was born in Michigan to a wealthy family. Fred's father was building a lawyer's career, and Jer's mother ran a small business selling gift baskets. The girl's childhood flew by in a wealthy suburb of Detroit. The parents tried to ensure that the heiress received a good education, so they arranged her in a private school.

From a young age, the girl was fond of ballet. Father and mother, even in this regard, did everything to make Elizabeth comfortable - a dance studio was arranged in the basement of the house. The future actress dreamed of fame, at the age of 10 she got to the casting of the film "Annie", but failed.
