Chloe Sevigny

Cast initially in a small role in for "Kids," Sevigny landed the part of Jennie just prior to filming. The film marked her film debut and proved advantageous for the ingénue, who made a lasting impression with her gentle portrayal of a young, HIV-positive teenager. Sevigny emerged from her "Kids" experience with a bright future in acting. She followed up the next year with a role as the precocious young assistant and brief love interest of Steve Buscemi's ice-cream man in "Trees Lounge."

Sevigny was a pop phenomenon before she established a solid acting career. Her status as a darling of the underground celebrity scene threatened to overshadow her acting in the late 1990s. The star was getting more noticed for her clothing choices and lifestyle than her film work. In 1999, Sevigny managed to transcend hipster labels with a show of formidable talent in a number of big-screen releases. She effectively essayed a pregnant teen engaging in an incestuous relationship with her schizophrenic brother in Korine's daring Dogma '95 feature "Julien Donkey-Boy." Most notable was her turn as Lana, the love interest of a captivating man hiding his biological femaleness in Kimberly Peirce's remarkable feature "Boys Don't Cry." Her portrayal earned her a richly deserved Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress.
