Biography


Ashley judd is rightly best known and loved actresses making movies. She was born on April 19, 1968 in Los Angeles, CA, USA. She was born to Michael Ciminella - a marketing specialist and Naomi Judd - a singer . However when Ashley was just four years old her mother divorced her father. After the divorce, Judd was shuttled between California, Kentucky and Tennessee, attending 12 schools in 13 years. However she learnt to adapt to the changes in her lives.

Ashley was afforded the chance to attend the University of Kentucky, where she studied French and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors in 1990. She toyed with the idea of volunteering with the Peace Corps in Africa, but decided to move on to bigger and better things. Guided by her elder sister she decided to try her luck in Hollywood. While she was working as a waitress in a popular restaurant she tried her level best making connections with the Hollywood. Soon she started getting stage and screen roles. the most important amongst the small screen role was as Swoosie Kurtz's troubled daughter Reed on the NBC drama "Sisters". But this was not giving the kind of satisfaction that Ashley was looking for.

The ambitious actress auditioned for the pivotal role of Christian Slater's girlfriend in the comedy "Kuffs" (1992) and after this career began taking its shape. "Ruby in Paradise" was what gave her the kind of fame she wanted. She works as a Tennessee heiress who sets out to find herself in Florida. "Natural Born Killers" was her next venture where Judd was cast as the sole survivor of a massacre who describes the traumatic event in detail.

Judd continued to add to her gallery of supporting roles with a dramatic turn as Harvey Keitel's junkie daughter in "Smoke" and Val Kilmer's unfaithful wife in "Heat" (both 1995) and she brought what she could to the underwritten part of a lawyer's spouse in "A Time to Kill" (1996). Faring better on the small screen, Judd displayed her intelligence and skill (as well as a considerable amount of flesh) as the younger incarnation of Marilyn Monroe in "Norma Jean and Marilyn", which brought her an Emmy nomination. While "Normal Life" (1996) was originally intended for theatrical release, it was relegated to HBO. Nevertheless, it contained her disturbing, impassioned portrayal of an unhinged woman who drives her caring husband to a life of crime in order to satisfy her acquisitive nature.

In her first Hollywood lead, Judd was cast as a capable doctor who, having escaped from a kidnapper, agrees to help the police track down the criminal in "Kiss the Girls" (1997). Again, her native intelligence and striking beauty were used to good effect, even if the surrounding efforts were not top-drawer. The actress exhibited her sexy side as the local girl who falls for a drifter in "The Locusts" (also 1997) and offered a memorable, if relatively brief, turn as a single mother in the sentimental period drama "Simon Birch" (1998). Judd returned to thrillers as an innocent woman who, after serving time for murdering her abusive husband, discovers he was still alive in "Double Jeopardy" (1999) and a suspected serial killer tracked by Ewan McGregor in "Eye of the Beholder" (2000).

Though both of her next efforts—the thriller Eye of the Beholder (2000) and the sentimental Where the Heart Is (2000)—were greeted with far less than an enthusiastic reception, Judd’s star is continuing to rise. In 2001, she starred as Jane Goodale in Someone Like You, a romantic comedy for which she reportedly received a career-high salary of $4 million, as well as Dexterity, a romantic drama co-starring her former on- and off-screen love interest McConaughey. She was then cast as Tina Modotti in the story based on the life of Frida Kahlo, "Frida" (2002). In fall 2003 she will make her Broadway debut as Maggie in a revival of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Ashley has recently purchased her dream house, a hundred-year-old home in Tennessee. She has big plans for its renovation, and states, that she is modeling it after C.S. Lewis’ ‘Chronicles of Narnia’, with cubbyholes and secret passageways, old gun cabinets and medicine chests built of chestnut. Ashley wants her dream home to be this way all because it was the first book that was ever read to her as a child. Ashley is very athletic and enjoys rock climbing, hiking and running. She is known as someone who is very intelligent. She has worked very hard to rasie her from the rags to riches and be where she is today.
