Amy Smart, talented
& lovely actress, born March 25th, 1976 in Topanga Canyon,
California, was a relatively new arrival when she first gained
notice for her supporting roles in the 1999 hit teen films "Varsity
Blues" and "Outside Providence." With her blonde,
carefree California girl good looks, the Los Angeles native
got her start in TV-movies and made her feature debut in Stephen
Kay's "The Last Time I Committed Suicide" screened
at 1997's Sundance Film Festival. She was briefly seen in Paul
Verhoeven's big-budget sci-fi actioner "Starship Troopers"
and had an impressive turn in the vastly different, quirkily
independent "How to Make the Cruelest Month." In the
latter she played Dot, the graceful golden girl who seduces
the one-time boyfriend of her sister, the troubled protagonist
Smart (Clea DuVall). The by-the-numbers horror film "Campfire
Tales" followed in 1998, along with the topically chilling
but clumsily executed internet stalker thriller "Dee Snider's
StrangeLand," written, produced and starring the titular
Twisted Sister frontman as a deranged torturer who meets his
victims in web chatrooms.
Amy would reach her
widest audience with a co-starring role opposite James Van Der
Beek in Brian Robbins' surprise box office hit "Varsity
Blues." The actress played Jules Harbor, a girl who longs
for life beyond her small town's high school football-obsessed
culture but who, as sister of the injured star quarterback (Paul
Walker) and girlfriend of his idealistic replacement (Van Der
Beek), is tied to it. With her darkened hair, sad eyes and intelligent
portrayal of the strong-willed Jules, Smart reminded audiences
of Van Der Beek's "Dawson's Creek" co-star Katie Holmes.
She would next be featured as Shawn Hatosy's upper-class love
interest in Michael Corrente's poignant 1970s era comedy "Outside
Providence."
