Jacinda Barrett Biography
A crossover reality television star who memorably appeared on MTV's Real_World:_London before being launched to stardom thanks in part to a People Magazine poll that named her one of the "Fifty Most Beautiful People in the World" two short years later, Jacinda Barrett earned her keep as a model before venturing into the world of film in the 1997 teen screamer Campfire_Tales. A native of Queensland, Australia, Barrett appeared in a trio of independent efforts in the years following her Real_World appearance, later moving on to television roles in Hercules, Millennium, and Bull before returning to features with a role in the 2000 horror sequel Urban_Legends:_The_Final_Cut. While Barrett's early roles may not have necessarily appeared the ideal training ground for a future in high drama, subsequent performances in such serious-minded efforts as The_Human_Stain and Ladder_49 showed an actress whose beauty was apparently matched by her talent. A supporting role in the 2004 comedy Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason was followed by a turn as a French heiress in the 2005 thriller Ripley_Under_Ground, and soon after taking a tumble in the blockbuster 2006 remake Poseidon, Barrett would once again venture into familiar territory opposite Zach_Braff in the romantic comedy drama remake The_Last_Kiss.
