ALICIA WITT

Alicia had born 21 August 1975, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. Alicia made her film in David Lunch’s Dune (1984) and, by the age of fourteen, received her high school diploma and moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue acting full time. Once she was in Los Angeles, Lynch cast her in his Emmy Award-winning cult classic television series "Twin Peaks" (1990) as Gerstein Hayward, a part written specifically for her. Following this, Lynch utilized Alicia's talents once again in his HBO trilogy "Hotel Room" (1993), in which she portrayed a young woman with multiple personality disorder. Alicia appeared in Mr. Holland's Opus (1995) opposite Richard Defuses as well as in Four Rooms (1995) (Miramax/Buena Vista) with Tim Roth, Madonna, and Lili Taylor, which was directed by Quentin Tarantino, Allison Anders, Robert Rodriguez, and Alexandre Rockwell. In 1994, Witt appeared in the critically acclaimed Fun (1994), which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. The film, directed by Rafal Zielinski, depicts two disturbed young girls whose quest for fun leads them to murder. Witt received the Special Jury Recognition Award at Sundance and a nomination for an Independent Spirit Award. Other credits include Mike Figgie’s Liebestraum (1991) starring Kevin Anderson, Bodies, Rest & Motion (1993) starring Tim Roth and Bridget Fonda, and Bong water (1997) opposite Luke Wilson.


Aside from being loved on the big screen, Alicia also has frequent offers to appear on the silver screen and has guest starred on shows like The Sopranos (1999), Ally McBeal (1997), and a guest star role turned home for four years as the daughter of Cybil Shepherd on CBS' critically acclaimed "Cybill”. Alicia took a break from mainstream American films and television to star in several independent films after 1999 and made her debut back into Hollywood with 2002's Two Weeks Notice, opposite Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant-an interesting choice; she was offered the lead as Mary Jane Watson in "Spiderman". Currently, Alicia lives with screen writer-boyfriend, Nathan Fouler, in Los Angeles. So whether you next see her modeling clothes made out of diamonds or sparkling on the big screen, Alicia's personality and vigor have a sense of perfection, which is why she brings more clarity and color to the stage than any other actress of her time.
