Poppy Petal Ema Elizabeth Deveraux
Donahue (born 19 June 1972 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian
actress.
Her brother is named Jethro Tull, after Jethro Tull. Her sisters are named
Rosie Thorn, Daisy Yellow, Lily Belle and Marigold Sun - all named after
flowers, as Poppy is. She has stated the reason for her siblings
interesting names was that her parents "were big hippies."
She chose her mother's maiden name, Montgomery, as her stage name. She
left Australia at 16 to be with her then-boyfriend. They broke up, and she
arrived in Hollywood at 18 carrying a copy of How to Make It In Hollywood.
She currently stars as Samantha Spade in the American television series
Without a Trace. Montgomery was the "cover girl" for the May 2005 Stuff,
which labelled her "TV's Hottest Cop." She has also appeared in Maxim, FHM
and posed nude in the art magazine Black+White.
Montgomery was praised for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in the 2001 CBS
mini-series Blonde, based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates. She quit
practicing yoga and gained 12 pounds to emulate Marilyn Monroe's ample
figure for the role.
Montgomery is dating and living with boyfriend Adam Kaufman, her co-star
in the independent film Between. In June 2007, Montgomery announced her
pregnancy with Kaufman, the baby being due in December; later that same
month she accidentally revealed on Nine Network's Today that she was
expecting a boy. |

|
"When it comes to guys, make
sure you are treated like a princess, always."
"We have halves and steps (sisters), and they have babies. We're
like rabbits. My parents divorced each other and remarried other
people and then had more kids, so my mom actually had five
children." |
