Piper Perabo

The American actress became famous after the release of the comedy drama Coyote Ugly, playing a cheeky waitress who dreams of breaking with her provincial past, becoming a star and conquering New York. The screen story turned out to be semi-biographical for Piper Perabo, who played the main role. But most importantly, it opened the door to the world of the American film industry.

The star of the cult comedy drama "Coyote Ugly" was born in the late fall of 1976 in Dallas, but soon after the birth of her daughter, the family moved from Texas to New Jersey, settling in the town of Thomas River.

Piper's parents - in the past hippies - approached the search for the name of their only daughter creatively. Mom and Dad adored director Blake Edwards, and the favorite actress of the Perabo family was Piper Laurie. Therefore, the girl, fortunately, was given the name of the TV star. Fortunately, because the first option turned out to be even more "exotic" - India Star.

I was lucky with non-trivial names and younger brothers of the future actress - Noah and Adam. The children of Perabo have half Portuguese, half Norwegian blood in their veins. Hence the sensual and at the same time cold beauty of Piper.

The girl grew up cheerful and responsive, she was in excellent contact with her peers. An excellent student and activist led the school cheerleader group, participated in community work, sang and danced. And also - she dreamed of getting on the screens, although no one in the family had anything to do with cinema: her father was a physiotherapist, her mother was a professor of poetry.

Piper Perabo dreamed of living in a multi-million dollar city. It seemed to her that the lucky and successful were concentrated in the metropolitan areas, while the losers lived in the provinces. Therefore, after graduation, the girl rushed to Ohio University, where she studied acting. And as soon as she finished her studies, she moved to New York, where she trained at the small theater "LaMama".

Stage performances were paid modestly, so Piper Perabo, in order not to sit on the neck of her parents, worked as a waitress in a cafe. Without leaving her dreams of cinema, the girl attended auditions and auditions for roles in film studios. And she was lucky.

The cinematic biography of Piper Perabo started in 1997: the aspiring artist was offered cameo roles in several low-budget films. In 1998, she played a supporting role in Lonely Space, demonstrating her increased skill. The following year, 23-year-old Piper was offered to play the main character in the film about rappers "White Boys".

Success was consolidated in 1999, appearing on the screen as FBI agent Karen Simpati in the comedy "The Adventure of Rocky and Bullwinkle", where the stars of cinema Robert De Niro and Rene Russo shone. The third major role in the movie glorified the charming blonde: the comedy drama "Bar Coyote Ugly", released in 2000, turned Piper Perabo into a Hollywood star.

In the dramatic comedy Coyote Ugly, directed by David McNally, Perabo played herself. Her character Violet came from New Jersey to the Big Apple for fame.

A provincial woman, dreaming of becoming a famous composer, gets a job as a waitress. She is stage frightened and learns to overcome her fear by dancing and singing on the bar in front of dozens of drunken visitors.

Preparing for a star role, Piper Perabo remembered music lessons at school, mastered the guitar and piano, took vocal and dance lessons. The picture received an unexpectedly warm audience, but film critics rated the comedy with restraint. The music lessons Piper took were not in vain: the film was awarded the MTV award for the best musical fragment.

In 2001, the premiere of the melodrama "They Can't Get You" took place, where the main roles went to the actor's "trio" Piper Perabo, Jessica Paré and Misha Barton. The actress played the shocking student Polly, who fell in love with her roommate. The drama has received commendable reviews, awards from international film festivals in Stockholm and Argentine Mar del Plata, as well as a national film award "Genius".

After the release of the melodrama about "unconventional love", Piper Perabo admitted that for a better understanding of the heroine she consulted with her friend - the son of Barbara Streisand - Josh Brolin.

Until 2005, the new Hollywood star starred in several successful comedies - the romance films Slap Her, She's French, Inside My Memory, Absolute Opposites, and Imagine Us Together.

In 2005, Piper Perabo gained experience in horror movies. The actress starred in the horror film "The Cave" directed by Bruce Hunt, where she met Lena Headey. Piper later returned to the thriller genre and starred in the horror films Carriers, Project Paradise, and Bloody Machine.

In 2006, Piper Perabo delighted fans with an appearance in Christopher Nolan's drama thriller The Prestige, on the set of which she met Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Scarlett Johansson and David Bowie. The drama was twice nominated for an Oscar.

A new wave of popularity "covered" the actress in 2010 after the summer premiere of the series "Secret Operations". The 34-year-old star teamed up with Christopher Gorham to play CIA intern Annie Walker.

The success of the series inspired the creators to continue, and after the broadcast ended in September, the producers announced a 2nd season. Subsequently, 3 more seasons were filmed. They featured Peter Gallagher, Anne Dudek, and Eion Bailey. The low rating of Season 5 stopped plans to shoot the 6th, which was announced earlier.

The first man of Piper Perabo, about whom the tabloids started talking, was Brandan Emerson, whom the actress met in her student years and lived for several years without registering a marriage. Brandan accompanied his beloved at social events, and the couple's friends called the relationship ideal. But Emerson did not share Piper's passion, dreaming, like a father, to become a farmer. The affair ended quietly, the couple broke up.

Perabo's passion for cinema was shared by her colleague Sam Rockwell, but the actors' romance was fleeting. The desire to start a family came true in July 2014: Piper Perabo married a colleague, director and producer Stephen Kay, who had previously met with Eva Longoria. They met on the set of the series "Secret Liaisons" and dated for 3 years.

The wedding ceremony was held in New York. The bride wore a dress of "metallic" color, wearing a mustard veil over her head. The groom appeared to match in a baggy blue suit. The tabloids called the outfits of the newlyweds "something new", but noted genuine happiness on the couple's faces.

Piper Perabo is a vegetarian. In his free time he listens to classical music, reads and enjoys fishing. The actress's best friend remains her colleague Lina Headey, with whom Piper starred in the films "The Cave" and "Imagine Us Together." Piper maintains a page on Instagram, but doesn't like to share family photos.

Fans claim that Piper Perabo and British actress Emilia Clarke are similar.

In September 2016, ABC premiered the drama series Bad Fame, based on the real stories of criminal defense lawyer Mark Geragos and cable TV news producer Wendy Walker. Piper Perabo and Daniel Sunjata starred. In the spring of 2017, the channel closed the project, refusing to shoot season 2.

More successful was Brian Goodman's Black Butterfly project, which premiered in the US in the spring and in Russia in the summer of 2017. The main roles in the thriller went to Antonio Banderas, Jonathan Reese Myers and Piper Perabo.
