Calista Flockhart

"I'm not particularly pre-occupied with the husband/baby thing. Besides, I have a dog."

Date of Birth: November 1l, 1964

Birthplace: Freeport, Illinois

She is the star of Fox's Ally McBeal. She has also gained fame for being the focal point of Hollywood's obsession with being thin.

Many of us associate Calista with her character Ally McBeal, and that characterization isn't that far off. That's why we like her; despite seeming slightly off-center, Calista seems to have a genuine quality about her that has made her a fan favorite.

Calista Flockhart was born November 1l, 1964, in Freeport, Illinois. The daughter of Ronald, a former Kraft Foods business executive, and Kay, a teacher, Calista was raised in Iowa, Minnesota and New York State, before finally settling down in Medford, New Jersey.

While a student at Shawnee High School, Calista (which means "most beautiful" in Greek) showed her school spirit by being an executive on the student council and a member of the cheerleading squad. Once a high school graduate, Calista went on to study Fine Arts at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. By the time she graduated in 1987, she had already trained under acting coach William Esper and appeared in numerous student theater productions.

Calista then decided to pursue acting full-time and headed to New York to follow her dreams. She got a quick start, with roles in a Williamstown Theater Festival presentation of Death Takes a Holiday, and off-Broadway productions of Wrong Turn at Lungfish, Sophistry, and All for One, and audiences were beginning to take notice.
