A petite blonde actress with pretty, pixiesh features and a high energy presence, California native Amanda Detmer made her debut in the TV-movie "Stolen Innocence" (CBS) in 1995. A local girl (the project was lensed in her native Chico), Detmer impressed with a featured role in the telepic, but resumed her education, earning her BA and later her MFA in theater. In 1998 she spent a summer on stage in Minneapolis and that same year lensed a starring role in the mystical independent drama "Last Seen." Although she had by now completed her graduate degree at New York University and was in her late twenties, Detmer easily adapted to teen roles, possessing youthful looks and bubbly charm. 1999 saw the actress make her big screen debut playing Miss Minneapolis in the Minnesota beauty pageant-set comedy "Drop Dead Gorgeous." Television work in the NBC miniseries "To Serve and Protect" (NBC) and the very short-lived series "Ryan Caulfield: Year One" (Fox) put her among fictional police that same year.- Profession: Actor

French actress Julie Delpy progressed from ingenue roles to become one of the most respected members of the international film community. A native of Paris, and raised in an acting family, she began her career while still a teenager with a small role in Jean-Luc Godard's "Detective" (1985). Roles followed in French films, including "Beatrice" (1987) and "The Dark NIght of the Soul" (1989). She found international acclaim for her role in "Europa, Europa" (1990), playing a pro-Nazi German who falls in love with a Jewish man. After starring opposite Sam Shephard in the French film "Voyager" (1991), Delpy began moving more into English language roles. She starred in Roger Avary's thriller "Killing Zoe" (1993), and then joined the all-star cast of Disney's "The Three Musketeers" (1993). At the same time, she starred in Krzysztof Kieslowski's trilogy "Three Colors: Blue" (1993), "Three Colors: White" (1994), and "Three Colors: Red" (1994). She then took what many considered her signature role, starring in Richard Linklater's romantic drama "Before Sunrise" (1995). She played Celine, a young woman who spends an evening in Vienna with Ethan Hawke's American writer, Jesse. She continued mixing American studio films like "An American Werewolf in Paris" (1997) and "But I'm a Cheerleader" (1999) with international productions such as "The Treat" (1998) and "Beginner's Luck" (2001). She also joined the American television hit "ER" (NBC, 1994-2009) for a memorable storyline, playing the girlfriend of Goran Visnjic's doctor. She rejoined Linklater and Hawke for the director's experimental animated film "Waking Life" (2001). The trio then began working on a sequel to "Before Sunrise." They shared writing credit on the resulting "Before Sunset" (2004), which saw the two original characters brought back together in France. The script earned them an Academy Award nomination. In addition to screenwriting, Delpy made her feature directorial debut with "Looking for Jimmy" (2002). She went on to write and direct multiple features, including the critically acclaimed "2 Days in Paris" (2007), "The Countess" (2009), and "Lolo" (2015).
