Biography |
Busy Philipps is an actress known for a starring role
in the 2002 film Home Room, and supporting roles in the 2004
Wayans brothers film White Chicks, and on the TV series
Freaks and Geeks and Dawson's Creek. She auditioned for the
lead role of Lindsay Weir on Freaks and Geeks before being
cast as Kim Kelly. She also auditioned for the television
show Roswell.
She appeared in the UPN sitcom Love, Inc., in a role
originally intended for Shannen Doherty. The show lasted for
one season (2005-2006) before being canceled.
Her parents gave her the nickname Busy because, as an
infant, she was always moving, and the nickname stuck; it
even appears on her driver's license. She attended Chaparral
High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she was taught by
high-school theatre teacher Deborah Carrick. She attended
Loyola Marymount University at the same time as Colin Hanks
and Linda Cardellini (her Freaks and Geeks costar). She
worked the toy-fair circuit as a real-life Barbie before
making her show-business debut.
Philipps is godmother to co-star Michelle Williams's and
Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda Rose, born in 2005. |
