Biography |
Vivica Fox was born on July 30, 1964, and raised
in Indianapolis, Indiana. She is the youngest of four
children, growing up with her sister and two brothers. She
attended the Golden West College in Huntington Beach,
California, and graduated with an Associate Art degree in
Social Sciences.
Vivica is a talented actress who started out on Days of Our
Lives in 1988, but got her big break on the Hollywood scene
with her feature film debut opposite Will Smith, in the
blockbuster hit Independence Day (1996). She portrayed
Jasmine Dubrow, the sexy and heroic girlfriend of pilot hero
Smith. By the way, the dynamic and sexy couple won the MTV
Award for Best Kiss.
Her credits started to grow from then on. Following her
performance in ID4, Fox starred with Jada Pinkett Smith,
Queen Latifah and Blair Underwood in the dramatic action
feature Set It Off (1996).
After a stint in Booty Call in 1997, Vivica starred in the
heavy cast movie Batman & Robin, co-starring opposite Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman and George Clooney. She showed
off her talent playing the dangerously seductive character,
Ms. B Haven.
Also in 1997, Vivica appeared as one of three sisters in the
family drama Soul Food, co-starring Vanessa Williams and Nia
Long. That role led her to receive an MTV Movie and Image
Award Nomination for Best Actress. Vivica was also voted one
of the Most Beautiful People in the World by People magazine
in 1997.
The ABC special Arsenio (1997) was yet another project the
talented Fox took part in. Other television appearances,
both old and recent, include The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
(1990), Out All Night (1992), Living Single (1993), The
Young and the Restless (a recurring role -- 1995), The
Hughleys (1998), Mad TV (2002), and Alias (2004).
Vivica also decided to recur on TV as an FBI agent in the
second season of 1-800-MISSING on the Lifetime channel, in
2004.
1998 and '99 were also very eventful for Vivica's film
career. She starred in Why Do Fools Fall In Love (1998) with
Larenz Tate, Halle Berry and Lela Rochon, in a movie about
Frankie Lymon. Idle Hands (1999) was next on her list, where
she played a druid priestess hunting down the evil forces in
a small town, and co-starred alongside Jessica Alba.
She also co-starred with British actress Helen Mirren, as
well as Molly Ringwald, Katie Holmes, and Barry Watson, as
Miss Gold, in the feature about three students holding an
unpopular teacher hostage, Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999).
In 2001, Vivica ended up starring in a slew of box -office
flops. First, she starred in Two Can Play That Game, with
fellow beauty Gabrielle Union. Then, in 2002, she starred in
Juwanna Mann, a movie about a guy (Miguel A. Nunez Jr.) who
has to dress up like a woman to keep playing professional
basketball. Finally in 2002, Vivica starred in Boat Trip,
with co-stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Horatio Sanz and Roselyn
Sanchez.
However, 2003 marked Vivica's stunning return in the Quentin
Tarantino vehicle, Kill Bill: Vol. 1, which was a huge hit
at the box office. Also in 2003, Vivica starred alongside
Duane Martin in Ride or Die.
Not one to slow down, Vivica's career is in full swing in
2004, as she stars in Motives (which she also produced),
Ella Enchanted, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, and Blast!, with Eddie
Griffin.
Vivica's set to star in Getting Played in 2005, so keep your
eyes peeled for her; she's not going anywhere
professionally. As for her personal life, Vivica married
singer Christopher "Sixx-Nine" Harvest in 1998, only to file
for divorce in 2002. And after a short-lived relationship
with rapper 50 Cent in 2003, Vivica is single again. |
