Judy Greer Biography
Born: July 20, 1975
Actress Judy Greer went to Winston Churchill High School in Livonia, MI, before studying theater at DePaul University. She made her film debut in Stricken, a low-budget horror movie shot on video in 1998, and, that same year, found her place in romantic comedies with Kissing a Fool, starring David_Schwimmer. Continuing with comedies throughout her career, Greer then appeared with Rose McGowan in Jawbreaker and got a starring role in the independent romance The_Big_Split. In 1999, she showed up briefly as a reporter opposite George_Clooney in Three_Kings.
On television, Greer was cast in the CBS sitcom Love & Money as a member of a wealthy family with working class in-laws. Following that short-lived series, Greer worked with her TV co-star Paget_Brewster again in a number of films, including Desperate but Not Serious and The_Specials. She appeared in Mike_Nichols' What_Planet_Are_You_From? in 2000, giving her an opportunity to work with comedy big shots Garry_Shandling and John_Goodman. Greer later starred in a couple of indie titles as well as the big-budgeted What_Women_Want and The_Wedding_Planner.
After catching the eyes of many in the 2002 Charlie Kaufman/Spike Jonez comedy Adaptation, Greer saw her stock rise considerably and was soon beginning work on the Jennifer Garner vehicle 13 Going on 30 as well as Wes Craven's highly-anticipated werewolf film Cursed, both landing in theaters in 2004.
