Biography:
Difficult to recognize in her natural blonde state following her turn as a raven-haired Neve Campbell knockoff
in Scary Movie (2000), Anna Faris made her professional acting debut at the tender age of nine at Washington's
Seattle Repertory Theater. Refining her skills in improvisational theater, Faris later found roles in
commercials and small local productions, though her future as an actress came into question as she pursued
further education and a move overseas.

Faris was raised in Seattle and studied English Literature at the University of Washington after high school,
later moving to London to begin working and writing. Longing to return to her childhood love of acting, Faris
took a role in the run-of-the-mill teen slasher pic Lover's Lane (1999). Making the move to Los Angeles in
order to pursue an acting career full time, Faris' previous improvisational experiences would soon come in
handy as she landed her breakthrough role in the popular Scream-slanted spoof of teen slasher pics, Scary
Movie. Of course that role was only the beginning for young Faris, and after returning in Scary Movie 2 the
following year she portrayed the co-worker and love interest of the titular character in director Lucky McKee's
offbeat sleeper May. A leading female role in the Rob Schneider comedy The Hot Chick was followed by the
little-seen Sheer Bliss in 2002, and the following year Faris once again scored a hit with her portrayal of a
self absorbed starlet in Sofia Coppola's critically acclaimed Lost in Translation. Though it may have been
something of a given that Faris would return to the screen for Scary Movie 3 in 2003, many longtime fans were
surprised to see her sporting her original blonde locks - a move that effectively banished the previous
installments' Neve Campbell connection and forced audiences to take Faris' finely honed comic abilities on
their own terms.
