(What's this?)

Chloe Sevigny
Sevigny made her film debut in Kids, which was written by independent filmmaker Harmony Korine, with whom she has been romantically involved off and on since they were both teenagers. She has also starred in two of his other films, Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy. Sevigny is recognized from roles in American Psycho and The Last Days of Disco, but it was her 1999 Oscar nomination at age 25 for the role of Lana in Boys Don't Cry that brought her national and international attention from critics and audiences alike, many consider this to be Sevigny's breakout role. Sevigny gained notoriety in 2003 for an unsimulated fellatio scene in The Brown Bunny with co-star and director Vincent Gallo. After the film's release, the William Morris Agency dropped her as a client, claiming the scene made her unmarketable. She quickly signed on with another agency and continues to be successful in both modeling and acting. She has starred in Shattered Glass (2003), the HBO television series Big Love, and she also has many upcoming roles in films such as Sisters, which is set for release in late 2006, and in Catherine and Peter and Zodiac, both set for release sometime in 2007. She has modeled for a number of designers and brands, including Miu Miu, H&M, and MAC. But Sevigny is far from fond of her iconic status: “For some reason the public has embraced me as a fashion icon, and I feel like it has diminished me as an actress, or I don’t get as much recognition as an actress”, complained the star, “and that upsets me”.

Hello Chloe: You are an interesting creature of womanhood, the character you play on Big Love is so interesting, the potential evil daughter of the religious maniac of Mormonism; but yet the goodness of the character always wins out in the end. I love the interplay of the 3 women who really rule the house, not the man Bill P. Keep up the quality of the HBO drama. Hunter
