Anna Faris



American comic actress born November 29, 1976. She might be best known for playing the lead in the Scary Movie films. A natural blonde, she had to dye her hair black for the role to give her a more Neve Campbell look.

Mostly a face actress in comedies like The House Bunny and Just Friends but has recently done a couple of voice acting gigs - Sam Sparks in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Jeanette in Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and Chipwrecked.

Won the "Stoner of the Year" award at High Times magazine's Stony Awards, in Los Angeles, on October 13, 2007, for her role in Smiley Face.

Also her first name is actually pronounced "Onna".

This actress provides examples of:

 * Amusing Injuries: Many of her roles.
 * Cute Clumsy Girl
 * Dumb Blonde / Brainless Beauty / The Ditz: Certainly not an airhead in real life, but easily two-thirds of her roles have her playing one of these.
 * She plays a sort of parody of her characters in Lost in Translation.
 * Playing Against Type: As Polly in May, a rare horror role.
 * Romance On the Set: Was married to Ben Indra, who she met on the set of Lovers Lane.
 * She Really Can Act: Tends to get this reaction whenever she appears in a non-slapstick film, particularly her cameo in Brokeback Mountain and her recurring role as herself in Entourage.
 * Slapstick Knows No Gender
 * Typecasting: Largely voluntary though, and she has played a few smart characters like the aforementioned Sam Sparks.
