Summer Glau

TV star Summer Glau came into the world of show business at the time at the time and during this time managed to try on dozens of images: cyborg girl Cameron Phillips from the spin-off "Terminator", the genius river tam from the universe "Firefly", manipulator Isabel Rochev from "Arrow". A variety of roles and exceptional talent allowed Summer Glau to win the Saturn Award and SFX Award.

Summer Lin Glau was born on July 24, 1981 in San Antonio, Texas. In the family of the architect and school teacher, the girl became the first child, then there were two more daughters - Caitlin and Christine. From their parents, the children inherited Scottish, Irish and German roots.

At the age of 5, Summer began to study ballet. Rehearsals, additional courses in ballroom dancing (flamenco and tango) took a lot of time, so in the 3rd grade the girl had to give up the standard school education, and before the graduation of the 12th grade the ballerina studied with tutors.

During another rehearsal in 2000, Summer unsuccessfully emerged from the pirouette. Doctors diagnosed a serious fracture of the foot. The girl underwent a rehabilitation course, but again could not go on stage.

However, fate did not leave her without a job. During a visit to Los Angeles, Summer's friends offered to try themselves as an actress in the musical "Selena Forever". She was tested and approved for a supporting role. In 2002, she moved to this city with the firm intention to shine on the screen.

Summer Glau's creative biography began with a cameo in "Waiting in the Wings". The debut, ironically, was closely related to the past - the young actress performed a part from the ballet "Giselle" and, despite the trauma, did it perfectly.

Internal fragility and grace, as well as an innate talent convinced Joss Whedon, the creator of "Angel," to invite Summer to shoot another series - "Firefly." The project quickly became a cult in the U.S. and Canada. In an interview with Jam magazine, Whedon said that "Firefly" is a story about

The events of the series unfold in 2517. The two superpowers, China and the United States, have united in a unified government called the Alliance. Habitual Earth is no more, it could not withstand overpopulation. The survivors of humanity have been resettled on planets and satellites, and although living conditions have changed, economic, political and technological problems have remained the same.

In space, the Firefly spacecraft cruises between the planets. On it, the Serenity squad transports goods, sometimes illegally. But the most valuable contraband on board - River Tam, the heroine summer Glau.

The girl owns telepathy, foreboding the future, hears voices. These "gifts" were manifested in his youth, when the researchers of the Alliance put experiments on the girl, interested in her intellect. Because of the intervention in the brain sometimes River behaves aggressively, and restrain the internal monsters helps brother Simon, a surgeon who quit a prestigious profession to save his sister.

The series aired on FOX in 2002. Fans of space history were not satisfied with 14 episodes, so in 2005 Joss Whedon decided to shoot a feature film "Mission Serenity". Glau also participated in the project - her character became the main character. The film tells the story of River Tam: how she and brother Simon got on "Firefly", why she was tested, what the girl knows about the planet lost on the maps Miranda.

Filled with mysteries and space battles thriller was to the taste of fans and connoisseurs of film fiction. "Mission Serenity" was awarded the Hugo Award and Saturn Award - the leading awards in the genre of sci-fi. A separate award was earned by Summer Glau for the image of River Tam. She was awarded the Saturn statuette for Best Supporting Actress.

After filming in the projects of the universe "Firefly" the actress appeared in several detective series in episodic roles: "Detective Rush", "C.S.I.: Crime Scene," "Division," "4400." Summer Glau's next filmography achievement was the spin-off "Terminator: The Battle for the Future."

Characters in the series are familiar to the viewer - Sarah Connor and her son John. The family again encounters a Terminator, the purpose of which - to kill the boy. On the defense sent Cameron (character Glau) - a young girl cyborg. She skillfully disguises as a human, accepts food and experiences emotions, unlike other versions of Terminators.

Summer did not want to participate in the project, worried whether it would be able to erase the line between human behavior and the robot, while not to forget about the "machine" insides of the character. Thanks to her parents, who believed in her talent, she agreed. Later, the creator of the series Josh Friedman admitted that he considered as the role of Cameron only Glau.

The image of Cameron loved fans of "Terminator" so much that in the popular tv series "The Big Bang Theory" the girl played herself. The main characters Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Rajesh, traveling on the train, collide with Summer Glau. The plot of the series (The Terminator Decoupling) is based on the attempts of scientists to get acquainted with the "sexy Terminator".

The American participated in the filming of the TV series "Puppet House", "Chuck", "Alpha People", "Grey's Anatomy", "Castle", "Arrow", appeared in the title role in the film "Deadly Honeymoon" (most of the screen time the girl was filmed in a swimsuit).

For several years, Summer Glau dated photographer Cooper Reynolds. It was assumed that it will come to the wedding, but the lovers never became husband and wife.

The actress found solace in the actor Val Morrison. They have two children: Milena John, who was born in January 2015, and Sonny Isabo, who appeared in October 2017.

Summer does not maintain social networks (instagram profile "abandoned" since October 2014), does not talk about personal life, does not spoil fans photos without makeup. The girl prefers to "dip into life with her head" - spends time with her family and makes movies.

The actress dreams of making a film about dance. In an interview with MediaBLVD magazine in 2018, Summer said:
