Full Hope Davis Biography
Hope Davis (born March 23, 1964) is an American actress. She has starred in more than 20 feature films including About Schmidt, Flatliners, Mumford, American Splendor and Next Stop Wonderland. She played Slim Keith in the 2006 film Infamous.
Davis was born in Englewood, New Jersey. Her mother is a librarian; Davis has described her as a "great storyteller" who would take Davis and her siblings to museums or to "something cultural" every Sunday after church. Davis graduated in 1982 from Tenafly High School in Tenafly, New Jersey, and was a childhood friend of Mira Sorvino, with whom she wrote and acted in backyard plays.
Davis majored in cognitive science at Vassar College, but then became an actress in independent films such as The Daytrippers (1995) and Next Stop Wonderland (1998). These led her to roles in Hollywood films such as the thriller Arlington Road (1999), and About Schmidt (2002), in which she played Jack Nicholson's daughter. In 2003, she starred opposite Paul Giamatti in the movie adaptation of the Harvey Pekar comic American Splendor as the comic book version of Pekar's real-life wife, Joyce Brabner. For this role, Davis won the New York Film Critics Circle award and was nominated for the Golden Globe.
She has also worked on the stage, including a lead role in the New York premiere of Rebecca Gilman's Spinning into Butter in 2000. |
