Neve Campbell

Biography

Neve Campbell was born and raised in Guelph, Ontario, to Marnie (Neve), a Dutch-born psychologist and yoga instructor (from Amsterdam), and Gerry Campbell, a Scottish-born teacher (from Glasgow). Campbell first came to our TV screens in the hit Drama series _"Party of Five" (1994)_ (qv). Described as TV's most believable teenager, her first major film role came in the form of innocent victim "Sidney Prescott" in _Scream (1996)_ (qv), the film which re-defined the slasher genre. Many film offers came her way but, as she was filming _"Party of Five" (1994)_ (qv) for nine months of the year, the filming schedules often clashed. So in 2000, she announced that she was to leave the award winning show to concentrate on a film career. Spreading through many genres, her film credits to date include the romantic comedy _Three to Tango (1999)_ (qv) alongside 'Matthew Perry (I)' (qv) and the erotic thriller _Wild Things (1998)_ (qv) with 'Denise Richards (I)' (qv) and 'Matt Dillon (I)' (qv), though she has turned to a more art house approach with the critically acclaimed _Panic (2000)_ (qv) and, more recently, _Last Call (2002) (TV)_ (qv), both directed by 'Henry Bromell' (qv). She is an animal lover and describes herself as having a dry, often offensive sense of humor.
