Rebecca Gayheart
Rebecca Gayheart (born August 12, 1971) is an American actress and model. Gayheart began her career as a teen model in the 1980s before becoming an advertising spokeswoman. She has been active as an actress since 1990.
Gayheart was born on August 12, 1971, in Hazard, Kentucky, the third of four children born to Floneva "Flo" Gayheart (née Slone), who worked as a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant, and Curtis Gayheart, a miner and coal-truck driver. She has two sisters and a brother. She is of German, English, Scottish and Scots-Irish descent. Gayheart spent her early life in Pine Top, Kentucky, and has said she "grew up dirt poor".
In her first year of high school, Gayheart portrayed Lizzie Borden in a stage play. At age 15, she won a local modeling contest, after which she moved to New York City. There, she completed her high school education at the Professional Children's School and attended the actors' conservatory of the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Meanwhile, she earned a living appearing in commercials for Campbell's soup, Noxzema, and Burger King, and modeling for J. C. Penney catalogues.
In her first film role, Gayheart appeared in Brett Ratner's New York University short film Whatever Happened to Mason Reese? (1990). She also appeared in the Ratner-directed video for Heavy D and the Boyz's song "Nuttin' But Love".
In the early 1990s, Gayheart broke into the television industry with a series of TV commercials for Noxzema, earning her the moniker "The Noxzema Girl". The ads began airing in 1991 and brought her national recognition. In 1992, Gayheart was cast in her first major role, as Hannah Mayberry on the soap opera Loving. In 1993 and 1994, she had a recurring role in the Vanishing Son action series as cellist Clair Rutledge, the love interest of Russell Wong's character Jian-Wa Chang. In 1994 and 1995, Gayheart played Bess Martin in the science-fiction series Earth 2. In 1995, she played Antonia Marchette, a recurring character in the series Beverly Hills, 90210, and Luke Perry's character's love interest; the character was killed off after a 10-episode storyline. Her feature film debut came in the comedy Nothing to Lose (1997) opposite Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence, as a flower shop employee who woos an advertising executive. The same year, she had a minor role as a sorority sister in Wes Craven's horror film Scream 2.
After completing Scream 2, Gayheart was cast in a lead role in the slasher film Urban Legend (1998), playing the best friend of a college student (Alicia Witt) who suspects their friends are being murdered according to urban legends. The same year, she appeared onstage at Toronto's Canon Theatre in a production of The Last Night of Ballyhoo opposite Rhea Perlman and Perrey Reeves. In 1999, Gayheart starred in the black comedy film Jawbreaker with Rose McGowan, Julie Benz, and Judy Greer as girls in an exclusive clique in their high school who inadvertently kill their friend. The film was a box-office failure but later gained a cult following.
Gayheart starred in the video for Train's 1999 song "Meet Virginia".
In 2000, Gayheart had a lead role in the vampire film From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter and a lead role in the thriller Shadow Hours, opposite Balthazar Getty. She also had a cameo appearance in Urban Legends: Final Cut, the sequel to Urban Legend. She followed this with an appearance in the independent comedy Harvard Man (2001).
