Poppy Kowalsk on The Big C
Gender:
Female
Born:
11-8-1968
Birthplace:
Baltimore, MD
Birth Name:
Parker Christian Posey
TIME magazine dubbed her "The Indie Queen," and few actresses have worked as often...or received so many critical accolades...as Parker Posey. In her ten years as an actress, she has made more than thirty films, ranging from such independent classics as "Dazed and Confused," "Party Girl," and "The House of Yes," to big budget fare like "You've Got Mail," "Scream 3" and "Josie & the P-u-s-s-ycats." She's also a member of Christopher Guest's stock company, playing prominent parts in his cult hits, "Waiting for Guffman" and "Best in Show."



… More Born in Baltimore and moving to Laurel, Mississippi as a child, she attended college at the prestigious State University of New York (where she roomed with ER's Sherry Stringfield), but dropped out just three weeks shy of graduation in order to accept her first professional gig, a role on the soap opera "As the World Turns."

Although she primarily works in films, Posey has had several memorable turns on TV, from a recurring role in "Tales of the City" mini-series to guest voicing on "The Simpsons" and "Futurama," and playing a recurring character on "Will & Grace."

    An extremely unique actor with a sense of humor hide show

    The first movie I ever saw Parker Posey in was "Best in Show" and the first thought that crossed my mind about her is, "My God, she's hilarious!"

    Of course that opinion hasn't changed, but since then I've seen every one of her movies I can get my hands on, from quirky indie classics ("Clockwatchers") to big-time studio productions ("Blade: Trinity"), in which she still manages to retain that bizarre charm.

    I would say that my following of Parker Posey borders somewhere between a girl-crush and an obsession, but she has been superb in each and every one of her movies and she certainly deserves everyone's attention, which she is slowly beginning to get.
