  • ALL ABOUT NADINE VELAZQUEZ

    Full Name:Nadine E. Velazquez
    Date of Birth:November 20, 1978
    Place of Birth:Chicago, Illinois, USA
    Profession: Actress, Model
    Education:Columbia College, Chicago, Illinois (graduated in 2001 with B.A. in Marketing)

    Bio:

    Childhood and Family:
    “As a child, I was hyper, I was a clown, and I was sensitive. Today I’m all of the above, except I’ve refrained from bouncing off the walls.” Nadine Velazquez.

    A daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants, Nadine Velazquez was born on a snowy winter morning on November 20, 1978 in a multi-ethnic neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois. The middle child of three daughters, a self-described hyper, clown and sensitive kid, was a cheerleader and a thespian in her high school, playing the angriest juror in the school production of the classic play “The Twelve Angry Jurors.”

    At age 18, Nadine attended the Columbia College, Chicago, Illinois, where she earned a B.A. in Marketing. During her study there, Nadine had a part-time job as her talent agent’s assistant.

    Career:
    “I’d seen Punky Brewster, I’d seen Webster, I saw Annie and it was time to either be an orphan or an actress.” Nadine Velazquez.
    Originally dreaming of becoming a gymnast, 13-year-old Nadine Velazquez changed her interest into acting after watching her favorite TV series “Punky Brewster” (NBC 1984-1988). She then walked into a talent agency in Chicago, was told to return with her mother, which she did, declined to sign her immediately. A few years later, she returned to the agent and got her first job for a McDonald’s commercial, in which she said, “Welcome to McDonald’s. May I take your order?” Afterward, more commercials jobs arrived. She also joined an acting troupe and did some stage works.

    In October 2001, she drove her Honda Civic to Los Angeles, a city which will help her achieving her childhood dream: to be an actress. In the City of Angels, Nadine landed several small roles, starting with Reggie Rock Bythewood’s 2003 film about a predominantly African-American group of underground motorcycle racers, Biker Boyz, as Larenz Tate’s girlfriend, and in Linda Mendoza’s 2003 comedy which revolves around three disparate women, Chasing Papi, as a temptress who nearly gets beaten up by Sofia Vergara’s character.

    The new comer also appeared on television, securing a recurring role as Anna (2003) on CBS long-running daytime soap “The Bold and the Beautiful” before having a guest appearance in a September 2004 episode of the hot HBO sitcom “Entourage.” Also in 2004, the sexy brunette, who appeared alongside Eddie Griffin, Vinnie Jones, Breckin Meyer and Shaggy in Anthony Hickox’s 2004 action comedy Blast!, was ranked #93 on Maxim magazine’s “100 Sexiest Women” list.

    The rising screen beauty was subsequently featured in the made-for-TV movies Hollywood Vice and House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim as well as Renee Chabria’s drama comedy movie Sueno (all in 2005). She was also spotted as a guest in a November 2005 episode of the crime drama/thriller “Las Vegas.”

    Nadine absolutely hit the big time in 2005. She was offered and later turned down a recurring role as Fernando Sucre’s girlfriend on Fox’s hit action-thriller-drama “Prison Break” to pick the plum role of Catalina Aruca, a good-hearted maid at the motel where the Hickey brothers (played by Jason Lee and Ethan Suplee) reside, on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning sitcom “My Name is Earl.” The role has helped her entering the spotlight in 2005, when she was named as one of USA Today’s “Five Rising Stars to Watch Closely” and Variety’s “Ten Actors To Watch.” The next year, the role earned her nominations at the ALMA Awards (for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Television Series) and the Screen Actors Guild Awards (for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series).

    Nadine is currently on set filming her upcoming big screen projects: writer-director-actor Sticky Fingaz’s musical A Day in the Life, and Phillip Atwell’s action/thriller starring Jet Li, Jason Statham and Devon Aoki, Rogue. She will also appear in Kings of South Beach, a TV movie based on the true story of a Miami Beach nightclub owner who takes a young employee under his wing while trying to avoid bankruptcy and the mafia.

    Trivia:

    Ranked 93 in Maxim’s “100 Sexiest Women” (2004).

    Nadine was listed as one of Daily Variety’s ‘Ten Actors To Watch for 2005′ in the August 29, 2005 issue.

    USA Today named Nadine one of “Five Rising Stars to Watch Closely” in the October 10, 2005 issue.

    Will appear in ROGUE (2007), an action-thriller starring Jet Li and Jason Statham.

    Her first acting job was a McDonald’s commercial. She said, Welcome to McDonald’s. May I take your order?

    Her first school play was ‘12 Angry Jurors.’ I played the angriest one, she says.

    Nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series at Screen Actors Guild Awards for My Name Is Earl (2006)

    Quotes:

    (On “Punky Brewster” as an inspiration) “Punky was my age. I thought, Hey, i can do that.”

    “As a child, I was hyper, I was a clown, and I was sensitive. Today I’m all of the above, except I’ve refrained from bouncing off the walls.”

    “I’d do a nude scene if the character was challenging, not just “the naked girlfriend.”

    “If a guy is too aggressive, that’s a turn-off. And if a guy is too sloppy, with bad breath or untrimmed nose hair.”

    “I try to eat healthy, but I love sweets and fried foods. French fries are my favorite.”

    “I’d love to kick somebody’s ass in a movie instead of somebody threatening to kick mine.”

    Athens High School

    Bio:

    Kim Basinger started her career as an Amazonian blonde sexpot, but has since proven her acting ability when given good material (a situation that has happened all too infrequently). The Georgia native moved to NYC after high school and landed a contract with the Ford modeling agency. After five years as a cover girl, Basinger made the segue to acting, beginning with a guest appearances on shows like “Starsky and Hutch” and “Charlie’s Angels”. She landed the regular role of a cop in the short-lived ABC series “Dog and Cat” (1977) before scoring in the title role of the NBC TV-movie “Katie: Portrait of a Centerfold” (1978). The same network tapped her for the role of Lorene Rogers (originated on the big screen by Donna Reed) in the 1979 miniseries remake of “From Here to Eternity” and its short-lived spin-off the following year. Despite additional roles in TV-movies, Basinger never seemed to click on the small screen.

    Her big screen debut was promising: Basinger’s Southern accent helped her win the role of the forlorn girlfriend of high-living cowboy Jan-Michael Vincent in the low-budget but well-received “Hard Country” (1981). In another outdoorsy film, “The Mother Lode” (1982), she co-starred with director Charlton Heston. Her career gained momentum in 1983 after she appeared as Bond Girl Domino Petachi in “Never Say Never Again” and co-starred with Burt Reynolds in Blake Edwards’ remake of “The Man Who Loved Women” (both 1983). A nude layout in PLAYBOY the same year also garnered her much attention and she began to be considered for better quality roles, such as the femme fatale Memo Paris who romances Robert Redford in “The Natural” (1984). Having previously lost two roles to Jessica Lange (”The Postman Always Rings Twice” 1981 and “Frances” 1982), Basinger inherited a role that had been earmarked for Lange: Sam Shepard’s half-sister in Robert Altman’s film of Shepard’s Off-Broadway hit “Fool for Love” (1985). While she acquitted herself in the film, it was a box-office disappointment.

    Despite her best efforts to demonstrate her range and capabilities, Basinger had a string of misfires in the late 80s, beginning with Adrian Lyne’s style-over-substance examination of an obsessive relationship in “9 1/2 Weeks” (1986). Her attempts at comedy, while admirable, were often sabotaged by the material as in Blake Edwards’ “Blind Date” (1987) or “My Stepmother Is an Alien” (1988). The actress finally found better material (replacing an injured Sean Young) as the voluptuous Vicki Vale, love interest for Michael Keaton’s “Batman” (1989). Then came the mixed blessing of “The Marrying Man” (1991). The film itself–a 1940s romantic comedy–had a long and troubled shoot and bombed at the box office. But Basinger and co-star Alec Baldwin fell in love and married in 1993.
    Continuing to capitalize on her Marilynesque persona, Basinger was a cartoon vamp who becomes human in Ralph Bakshi’s live action/animated mishmash “Cool World” (1992) and in a cameo as Honey Hornee in “Wayne’s World 2″ (1993). Teaming with Baldwin, she inherited the role originated by Ali MacGraw in “The Getaway” (1994), a pointless, inferior remake (although she acquitted herself in a gritty change-of-pace role). That same year, Basinger was quite good as a pushy fashion reporter in Robert Altman’s overblown and meandering “Ready-to-Wear (Pret-a-Porter)”. After a three-year hiatus which included giving birth to a daughter, she triumphantly returned to films in a much-lauded, Oscar-winning portrayal of a 50s-era Hollywood call girl with more than a passing resemblance to screen star Veronica Lake in Curtis Hanson’s “L.A. Confidential” (1997).

    Basinger has also received much off-screen publicity for her work on behalf of animal rights and for her 1993 legal battles over an alleged verbal contract to appear in the controversial film “Boxing Helena” (1993). When the court ordered her to pay in excess of $8 million, the actress was forced to declare personal bankruptcy and sell her interest in the town of Braselton, Georgia (which she and a group of investors had purchased in 1989). Eventually, the ruling in the breach of contract suit was overturned on appeal.
    Basinger and Baldwin had been tabloid fodder before, when Baldwin’s temper exploded on paparazzi photographers when they tried to photograph his wife and daughter, but their highly-touted relationship, typically portrayed as idyllic, endured intense media scrutiny when they filed for divorce in January of 2001. Meanwhile, Basinger seemed unable to capitalize professionally on her Oscar triumph, making only two tepidly received films from 1997 to 2001, “I Dreamed of Africa” (2000), in which she played a woman recently transplanted to the Dark Continent who discovers both the splendors and the shadowy underbelly of her new home, and “Bless the Child” (2000), a dreary Satanic thriller. But things changed in 2002 when Basinger re-teamed with Hanson to star as Eminem’s troubled mother in “8 Mile,” a fictionalized telling of the hip-hop artists rise from the streets of urban Detroit. Basinger’s role opposite Al Pacino in the p.r. minded, scandel mongering “People I Know” (2003) was largely extraneous, but she played the weepy widow of Pacino’s suicide brother with delicate grace.

    She was given a meatier role in “The Door in the Floor” (2004), an adaptation of John Irving’s A Widow For One Year, in which she and Jeff Bridges play a couple whose painful loss has caused them to exist in a constant state of quiet emotional war. The actress invested the role, in which she seduces a much younger man but nevertheless seems to grow from the experience rather than be morally compromised, with the heartbreaking, emotionally hungry quality, and critic Roger Ebert’s comments on Basinger’s presence in the film also applies to much of her best work: “There can be something hurt and vulnerable about her, a fear around the eyes, a hopeful sweetness that doesn’t seem to expect much.”

    Those same qualities helped enliven her next effort, the pop thriller “Cellular” (2004), a clever, inventive yet much more commercially minded and slickly crafted film in which she plays a kidnapped science teacher who desperately communicates with a total stranger (Chris Evans) through a jury-rigged cell phone. At times gimmicky and ingenious in its complications and plot twists, the film always benefits by Basinger’s utterly believable desperation.

    Eminem’s mother Debbie Mathers claims she portrays her falsely in 8 MILE. Debbie is upset after watching the film, partly because Kim has a beer in her hand in the film but Debbie hardly drinks. (January 2, 2003)

    Pals of Basinger are blaming the actress’s chronic back problems on her ex-husband Alec Baldwin’s alleged violence – they claim Baldwin was shockingly violent to her during their union, leading to the injuries. (October 8, 2002)

    Her father has blasted his son-in-law Alec Baldwin for letting his fierce temper wreck his marriage.

    “I think any girl who comes to Hollywood with sex symbol or bombshell hanging over her has a rough road.”

  • ALL ABOUT SARAH ROEMER

    Full Name: Sarah Christine Roemer
    Date of Birth: 28 August 1984
    Place of Birth: San Diego, California, USA

    Bio:

    A beneficiary of the exploding horror film renaissance of the mid-2000’s, newcomer Sarah Roemer firmly established herself as an heir apparent to the title of “celluloid scream queen,” thanks to her performances in three high-profile genre pics. Making her maiden voyage into the milieu as a supporting character in the 2006 sequel, “The Grudge 2,” Roemer soon graduated to a co-starring role in director D.J. Caruso’s teen thriller, “Disturbia” (2007). A surprise hit at the box office, “Disturbia” racked up an impressive $22 million in its opening weekend and transformed the gorgeous Roemer into a hot property, virtually overnight.
    A native of San Diego, CA, Sarah Christine Roemer was born Aug. 28, 1984. Tall, athletic and strikingly attractive, Roemer began modeling at age 15 after she was discovered buying coffee at a local 7-Eleven. Like many models, however, Roemer got bit by the acting bug soon after moving to Los Angeles. The fact that Roemer possessed natural talent – not to mention a strong resemblance to fellow beauty, Jessica Biel – no doubt helped the model transition into acting. Roemer’s first film – the dark indie comedy, “Wristcutters: A Love Story” (2006) – was an offbeat tale about the post-suicide afterlife and became a cult hit overseas, eventually going on to win top prize at New York’s Gen Art Film Festival.

    Roemer’s first major role, however, was in the Columbia Pictures production, “The Grudge 2” (2006), the sequel to the hit 2004 horror flick starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. Cast in a supporting role, Roemer portrayed Ashley, the teenage girl from Chicago who falls victim to the grudge curse near the end of the movie. Roemer’s breakthrough picture, however, was “Disturbia” (2007), a modestly budgeted thriller starring Shia LeBeouf and Carrie-Anne Moss. Taking its cue from the classic Hitchcock thriller, “Rear Window” (1954), “Disturbia” told the story of Kale (LaBeouf), a troublesome teenager who has been placed under house arrest for the entire summer. With his movements restricted by an electronic tracking device around his ankle, the restless teen eventually turns to voyeurism as a means of alleviating his boredom. Kale’s clandestine new hobby leads him to spy on his neighbors, where he discovers Ashley (Roemer), the daughter of a new family next door. In typical teenage fashion, Kale promptly falls head over heels for Ashley. Unfortunately, this blossoming romance is abruptly sidetracked when Kale stumbles onto the knowledge that another one of his neighbors, Mr. Turner (David Morse) – is actually a serial killer.

    Continuing her reign in terror movie roles, Roemer followed up her impressive turn in “Disturbia” with the lead role in Hyde Park Entertainment’s “Asylum” (2007), another youth-oriented thriller. In it, Roemer played Madison, a college student who discovers that her dormitory was once a notorious asylum for the mentally insane.

    Trivia:

    In 2007 she posed for Maxim Magazine.

    Moved away from her family, at the age of 17, to New York.

    Began modeling at age 15 after she was discovered buying coffee at a local 7-Eleven.

    Natalie Victoria was born and raised in the Midwest. At a young age she was putting on plays for her family and dancing around the house with dreams of being an actress. A couple of years ago, she made her move to Hollywood and spent the next year and a half studying intensively in Los Angeles, honing her craft with several coaches.

    At the end of 2004, she landed her first principle role in the theatre production, “Dreams of Insanity” taking center-stage at the Mark Taper Forum, as a mentally unstable 17-year old daughter of an alcoholic.

Projects include a co-staring role as an idealistic eighteenth century Irish parlor maid in “The Water Cure” at the 24th Street Theatre, the lead role as ‘Cheryl’ a sexually abused mental patient in “What We Do With It” at the Tamarind Theatre, and a co-starring role as ‘May’ the angry grieving widow in the production of “Seward Folley” at the Mark Taper Forum.

    In addition to theatre, Natalie has been cast in several short films including Carmen Cabana’s “Death is Such a Great Artist” playing ‘Sarah’ the jewel of the art gallery scene, in Stephanie Coggin’s “Mess/Off” as an evil and conniving roommate, in Christy Peter’s “Encounter” playing a sweet & tragic fiancée, and in Jason Eppink’s “Lucinda Bringer of Light” as a young mother.
    Recently, Natalie was featured in the 2006 Valentines Day episode of the Paramount Television’s series “One-on-One” airing Monday nights at UPN. Natalie continues to establish herself as a versatile actress, looking forward to one day making her mark in Hollywood.
