Alicia Witt in Paramount's Vanilla Sky - 2001

Birth Date: August 21, 1975

Birth Place: Worcester, Massachusetts, USA

Alicia Witt starred opposite Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock in the Warner Bros.' romantic comedy “Two Weeks Notice” and co-stars in the just-released “The Upside of Anger” starring Kevin Costner and Joan Allen.

A classically trained pianist, she put her musical skills to use in the romantic comedy “Playing Mona Lisa,” earning Best Actress honors at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. Her other film credits include “Urban Legend,” John Waters' “Cecil B. DeMented,” “Mr. Holland's Opus” opposite Richard Dreyfuss, “Bodies, Rest and Motion,” “Bongwater,” “Four Rooms” and 1994's “Fun,” a critically acclaimed drama of two disturbed girls whose boredom leads them to commit murder, which earned Witt a Special Jury Recognition Award at Sundance.

Witt made her screen debut as Alia in David Lynch's adaptation of Frank Herbert's acclaimed sci-fi novel, “Dune.” After earning her high school diploma, she relocated from Connecticut to Los Angeles at age 14, and was cast again by Lynch in the role of Gersten Hayward in his Emmy winning series “Twin Peaks.” The director selected her once again for his HBO trilogy, “Hotel Room,” in which Witt portrayed a young woman with multiple personality disorder.

Witt starred for four seasons as the moody daughter, Zoey, in the CBS sitcom “Cybill,” and has made guest appearances on such shows as “The Sopranos” and “Ally McBeal.” She appears later this year in the German-produced miniseries “The Ring.”
