Chloë Sevigny biography:

Originally known for her career in modelling and It girl status Chloe Sevigny gained notoriety in the 90s by starring in a string of critically acclaimed independent films. The first of these was the controversial Kids (1995) in which she played a teen who discovers she has Aids. After a nomination for a Independent Spirit Award she followed Kids with a series of independent films that included Trees Lounge (1996) and Gummo (1997). Sevigny first gained mainstream success for her role as Lana Tisdel in Boys Don't Cry (1999) for which she received many nominations including a Golden Globe and Oscar. She continued her successes with small roles in many films including American Psycho (1999) and Party Monster (2003) as well as a leading role in the television drama If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000). She again created controversy when she starred in The Brown Bunny (2003) which involved an unsimulated fellatio scene. This caused her agency to drop her claiming she was unmarketable. Despite this she continued her successful career moving on to roles in the acclaimed television show Big Love in which she plays the shopaholic wife of a polygamist and a role in Zodiac (2007). Sevigny also continues to have a successful modelling career working for Louis Vuitton, H & M, Miu Miu and MAC Cosmetics.
