Born: 19

Born and raised in South Carolina, character actress Celia Weston has played many a tough Southern gal despite her theater training in both London and New York. Working both on and off Broadway in the '70s, she moved over to television as the snappy Mel's Diner waitress Jolene Hunnicut on the CBS sitcom Alice. After that, she appeared in Southern-tinged feature films like Honky_Tonk_Freeway and Stars and Bars. Also adept at playing matronly types, she played the mother of Beastie_Boy Adam_Horowitz in Lost_Angels, the mother of one of the victims in Dead_Man_Walking, and the supposed mother of Ben_Stiller in Flirting_With_Disaster. Back on the stage in 1997, she earned a Tony nomination for her role as Southern Jew Reba Freitag in Alfred_Uhry's +Last Night at Ballyhoo and returned to Broadway in 2000 as Mom in the revival of Sam_Shepard's +True West. She made a comeback to films as well with supporting roles in Ride With the Devil, The_Talented_Mr._Ripley, and Snow Falling on Cedars. In 2001, she played a Southern belle mental patient in K-PAX followed by the gossip-hound Mona in Far_From_Heaven, the Fowler's family friend in In the Bedroom, and the guardian of teenaged Bruce Banner in The_Hulk. In 2003 she was back to the small screen as a cast member on the Showtime original series Out of Order. Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi
