built 279 days ago
The actress was at Sundance to promote ãJulie Johnson,ä in which she and Lili Taylor play suburban housewives who have a lesbian awakening. (Sandra Bernhard, who has made no secret of her crush on Courtney, surely wonât be missing it.) Wearing a monastic-looking brown velvet gown, Love took charge at the filmâs premiere bash by taking over the turntables that had been manned by deejay Paul Sevigny, brother of actress Chloe.

The second youngest of six children, Taylor was born in Glencoe, Illinois and grew up in a suburb of Chicago. In high school, she took acting classes with Joyce and Byrne Piven (actor Jeremy Piven's parents) at the Piven Theatre Workshop in Evanston, Illinois. Other Piven Theatre alums include John Cusack and his sister, Joan. She acted in a production of The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds as a Junior in 1984.

A native of Glencoe, IL, where she was born on February 20, 1967, Taylor was raised in a comfortable middle-class household as the second youngest of six children. She started acting in grade school and briefly attended DePaul University's Goodman Theater School before launching her professional career in local and regional theater. She acted for a time with Evanston's Piven Theater, performing in the company of such future notables as John Cusack, Aidan Quinn, and Jeremy Piven. In 1987, she spent a season on-stage in Czechoslovakia, returning stateside the following year to make her New York City stage debut in a production of What Did He See?

In 2001 Taylor turned another great performance in the small indie-feature Julie Johnson. The film, co-starring Courtney Love, centers around a Long Island mother and housewife who kicks out her husband to pursue her dream of studying science.
