Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Alicia Silverstone (1977 - ) Biography from Baseline Occupation: Actress Also: Model Born: c. 1977, San Francisco, CA Education: Beverly Hills High School Alicia Silverstone (pronounced a-LEE-cee-a) first gained attention in a popular trilogy of Aerosmith videos (Cryin', Amazing and Crazy) and the feature PASION SIN LIMITE (1993), sort of a FATAL ATTRACTION for the Clearasil set. Already strikingly attractive and remarkably self-assured, the 15-year-old dazzled in her video appearances, playing a burgeoning sexpot with an edge. In PASION SIN LIMITE (1993), Silverstone played an unstable teen in love with an older man (Carey Elwes). Although the feature fizzled commercially, its leading lady won two MTV Movie awards—Best Villain and Best Breakthrough Performance. Some have speculated that this honor was bestowed more because of her work with Aerosmith. Silverstone went on to play Jeff Goldblum's imperiled daughter in HIDEAWAY (1995), a supernatural flop. She had fared better on the small screen in THE COOL AND THE CRAZY (1994), a Ralph Bakshi-directed installment of Showtime's Rebel Highway telefilm series, playing a troubled young bride. Silverstone returned to the big screen for Amy Heckerling's NI IDEA (1995), a critical and commercial success perhaps best described as a FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH take on Jane Austen's Emma. Silverstone displayed a penchant for character-driven comedy as she played an affluent teen who comes to question her values. Her adroit performance certainly increased Silverstone's value as she subsequently signed a $10 million deal with Columbia Pictures to star in three films. Furthermore, the savvy 18-year-old snared a three-year non-exclusive first-look production pact with the studio for her production company, First Kiss Productions. 1995 HIDEAWAY performer 1995 THE NEW WORLD performer
