Anna Faris was born Anna Kay Faris on the 29th of November, 1976, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Anna grew up in Edmonds, Washington, and is of Irish, Scottish, English, German, and French descent. Her parents encouraged her to follow her passion for acting, and she turned professional at the tender age of nine. Anna began dating actor Ben Indra when she 23 in 1999. She met Ben on the set of her first notable film role, Lovers Lane. They married in 2004, but just three years later in 2007, Anna filed for divorced for irreconcilable differences. Anna’s breakthrough film role came in 2000 when she landed a lead role in the parody Scary Movie. Anna has naturally light brown hair, which she dyes blonde. However, she dyed her hair black for Scary Movie so she resembled Neve Campbell for the film. Anna then went on to play a recurring role in the television series Friends. She was also lucky enough to score a role in Lost in Translation, playing a fictional actress. Another internationally acclaimed film she had a role in was Brokeback Mountain.
