| With a golden-locked classic Hollywood beauty reminiscent of Mia Farrow, pretty Leslie Mann has been gracing the screens of both theaters and televisions since her film debut in 1991 (Virgin High). A San Francisco native, Mann's striking blue eyes and softly high-pitched voice aren't the only factors that got her work in Hollywood amidst a sea of struggling actors; she credits much of her success to her three therapists, a psychic, and Susan Jeffers' popular self-help book Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway. Fidgety and energetic, Mann continued acting on television's Birdland (1994) before beating out 500 other aspiring actresses two years later for the role of Matthew Broderick's girlfriend in The Cable Guy. After turning up in She's the One the same year, Mann would take another high-profile role, as a period prostitute alongside Bruce Willis in Last Man Standing. Essaying the role of Ursula in George of the Jungle (1997) before taking on Adam Sandler in Big Daddy (1999), fans with a quick eye could later spot Mann in one of four screens in director Mike Figgis' Timecode in 2000. In the following years the attractive and increasingly prominent actress could be seen in such comedies as Orange County and The Promise (both 2002). ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide |
