|
Leslie Louise Bibb (born November
17, 1974) is an American actress and former fashion model.
Bibb was born in Bismarck, North Dakota and raised in Nelson County,
Virginia. Her father died when she was three 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. Bibb'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, Bibb 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. Her modelling photographs have appeared in such
magazines as Maxim and FHM. She also attended the William Esper acting
studio for three years.
Bibb's first film role was in the comedy Private Parts. This 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. Most
critics panned the show and it was canceled months later after low
ratings.
In 1999, Bibb had her big break appearing as a lead character on the WB
Network television series Popular. The show was a major success among
teenagers and led Bibb to more recognizable film roles such as The Skulls
and See Spot Run. Since then she has had notable lead or guest roles on TV
shows such as ER, Line of Fire and CSI: Miami. Bibb also joined the cast
of Crossing Jordan as Detective Lu Simmons until season 6 where her
character had become a recurring character and was killed off.
Bibb played Will Ferrell's wife Carley in the hit comedy movie Talladega
Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. She also played Desiree in the 2007
production Wristcutters: A Love Story. She appeared as a Vanity Fair
reporter named Christine Everhart in the 2008 film Iron Man. She was also
in the role of Emma in Trick 'r Treat and Maya in the 2008 horror/thriller
The Midnight Meat Train. In 2009 Bibb played Sarah Lowell in the 2009 film
Law Abiding Citizen.
Bibb can be seen in the TV show Atlanta in the role of Jessica, opposite
Freddie Prinze, Jr. In the 2009 comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic, she
portrayed the rival of the main character, played by Isla Fisher. Bibb is
also starring in a new movie called Miss Nobody, for which she also serves
as co-producer. She also had a pivotal recurring role in Kings on NBC as
Katrina Ghent.
Bibb is a spokesmodel for Revlon for Almay Pure Blends.
Bibb is a supporter of Friends of El Faro, a grassroots non-profit that
helps raise money for Casa Hogar Sion, an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico.
Bibb is a cousin of Bob Bibb of Lifetime Television.
Bibb is close friends with her Popular co-star Carly Pope and The Skulls
co-star Joshua Jackson. |
