Actress

The Resume

    (June 7, 1964- )
    Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
    Film credits include ‘The Coca-Cola Kid,’ ‘Strictly Ballroom,’ ‘Brilliant Lies,’ ‘Primary Colors,’ ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,’ ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ and ‘Year One’
    Wife of Anthony LaPaglia
    English mother, Greek father

Why she might be annoying:

    Kah-REED-deez.
    She made her first film appearance at age 12 as the daughter of Bryan Brown’s character (which made her audition as his character’s wife for a three-decades-later film curious).
    She has her husband’s mixed-up accent.
    ‘Caffeine was the last drug I had to give up being pregnant.’
    Coming off the success of ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding,’ she reprised her role for the (really messy!) TV prequel ‘My Big Fat Greek Life.’

Why she might not be annoying:

    She speaks Greek fluently (probably got it from her pop).
    She is a close friend of Naomi Watts.
    Her sister Zoe is also an actress (as is her vocalist sister Danielle).
    On a whim, she auditioned for her ‘Greek Wedding’ role while in the angel costume she had to wear for her part in another film — because Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were its main backers.
    Thankfully, she did not give her daughter a weird name (Bridget).
