From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Neve Adrianne Campbell (born on October 3, 1973) is a Canadian film and television actress. She was born in Guelph, Ontario; her father, Gerry Campbell, is a Catholic from Glasgow, Scotland, while her mother, Marnie Neve, is from Amsterdam, Netherlands and is partially of Sephardic Jewish descent.
Campbell began her public life as a dancer - she trained at the National Ballet School of Canada and featured in performances of The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. Following several injuries, Campbell moved from dancing into acting at the age of 15, performing The Phantom of the Opera at the Pantages Theatre in Toronto. Her first starring role was on the short-lived Canadian television series Catwalk.
Campbell rose to wider fame as lead character Julia Salinger in the teen drama series Party of Five, starring in the series from 1994 to 2000. She went on to star in movies such as The Craft, Scream (and its 2 sequels), Wild Things and Three to Tango. Following the end of the Scream series, Campbell's career became more low-key, appearing in movies such as Too Smooth and Investigating Sex which did not receive wide releases. She received wide plaudits from critics however for her role in Panic alongside William H. Macy and Donald Sutherland.
Early in 2004, Campbell co-wrote, produced, and starred in The Company, a film about Chicago's Joffrey Ballet directed by Robert Altman. Despite pre-release publicity suggesting otherwise, Campbell did not break her tradition of having a no-nudity clause in her contract for the film. She did do so for When Will I Be Loved, released later in 2004.
Campbell married Canadian actor Jeff Colt (born in 1964) in 1995; they divorced in 1998.
Campbell appears in campaign literature and videos for Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada and the Tourette Syndrome Association (a similar American organisation). Her younger brother, Damian Campbell, suffers from the syndrome. She also has an elder brother, actor Christian Campbell, and another brother, Alex.
