Leslie Louise Bibb was born in
Bismarck, North Dakota, on November 17, 1974, and raised in Nelson County,
Virginia. Her father died when she was only 3 years old. Later she and her
mother, along with her three older sisters, moved to Richmond, Virginia
where she attended an all-girls Catholic high school, Saint Gertrude High
School.
In 1990 The Oprah Winfrey Show and the Elite Agency held a nationwide
modeling search. Leslie's mother took photos of her then 16-year-old
daughter and sent them in. The celebrity judges, John Casablancas, Naomi
Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Iman were impressed and they picked her as
the winner.
After finishing her junior year, Leslie flew to New York City and signed a
contract with Elite Agency. She modeled over that summer, and went on a
trip to Japan. She returned home for her senior year and graduated in
1992. Then she decided to attend the University of Virginia. After a
single semester, she dropped out and moved to New York City to pursue a
full-time modeling career. She attended the William Esper acting studio
for three years.
Leslie married Gavin May in the United Kingdom last summer.
Leslie's first film role in the comedy Private Parts, which was followed
by her first television series (where she replaced the departed Susan
Walters as the female lead) in the second season of The Big Easy.
Unfortunately, the show was canceled just months later.
Then in 1999 she had her big break, she appeared as the lead character on
the WB Network television series Popular. The show was a major success
among teenagers, and led Leslie to more recognizable film roles, such as
The Skulls and See Spot Run. Since then she has had notable guest roles on
TV shows such as ER, Line of Fire and CSI:Miami.
Nowadays, Leslie has joined the cast of Crossing Jordan and played Will
Ferrell's wife in the hit comedy movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of
