Chloe SevignyModel-turned-actress Chloe Sevigny was born on November 18, 1974, in Darien, Connecticut. Chloe had a penchant for acting early on in life. When she was in elementary school, she played the role of the scarecrow in a summer theater camp production of The Wizard of Oz, where future That 70s Show actor Topher Grace played the tin man in the same play.
In her teens, Chloe often hung out in New York City, where she was spotted for her hip fashion sense, and recruited for an internship with Sassy magazine. What followed was modeling work with the magazine, as well as with the urban clothing line x-girl, created by Sonic Youth’s lead singer Kim Gordon.
Chloe gained recognition for her hipster-chic style when author Jay McInerney wrote a seven-page New Yorker article on the newly-discovered "it-girl." However, it was spending time watching skateboarders in New York's Tompkins square park that led Chloe to her first film role. There, she met young aspiring director Harmony Korine, and was subsequently cast as the lead in Harmony Korine and Larry Clark's controversial film collaboration, Kids (1995), which tackled the topic of AIDS-afflicted teens. The following year, Chloe starred in Steve Buscemi's directorial debut, the psychological drama Trees Lounge. She then re-teamed with Kids screenwriter and boyfriend at the time, Harmony Korine, to star in the critically-panned Gummo (1997).
In 1998, Chloe scored a role in Whit Stillman's The Last Days of Disco, for which her portrayal of a graduate entering the working world of publishing was met with positive reviews. Also that year, Chloe starred in crime thriller Palmetto as a millionaire’s stepdaughter and the target of a phony kidnapping.
The end of the 90s marked an upsurge in film roles for Chloe. She starred in A Map of the World, Julien Donkey-Boy, If These Walls Could Talk II, and Boys Don’t Cry. For the latter, Chloe netted nominations for a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe and Oscar for her portrayal of Lana in the real-life story of murdered transgender man, Brandon Teena.
Chloe ushered in the new millennium with a part in the controversial film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel American Psycho (2000). In addition to starring in Dogville, Party Monster, and Shattered Glass in 2003, Chloe continued to tango with controversy in Vincent Gallo's The Brown Bunny, which film critic Roger Ebert described as possibly the worst film in the history of the Cannes film festival. Chloe raised eyebrows by performing fellatio on the film’s actor/director/Chloe’s then-boyfriend, Vincent Gallo. Following the release of the film, Chloe was dropped as a client by the William Morris Agency. On the explicit scene, Chloe commented, "I knew people would not understand it. It's a shame people write so many things when they haven't seen it. When you see the film, it makes more sense. It's an art film. It should be playing in museums. It's like an Andy Warhol movie." In contrast, director Vincent Gallo reportedly vowed to never make another movie again after the film’s poor reception.
In February 2004, Chloe became a spokesperson for the MAC Cosmetics’ Viva Glam campaign. In 2006, she plays the daughter of a cult-leader in HBO’s series produced by Tom Hanks, Big Love, which centers on a family of polygamists. YUDDY |
