Chloë Stevens Sevigny (born November 18, 1974) is an Academy Award- and Golden Globe-nominated American actress. Sevigny, who became well known for starring in a string of critically acclaimed, well received independent films in the 1990s, experienced her mainstream breakout role as Lana in Boys Don't Cry (1999), for which she received an Oscar and Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
Early life
Sevigny was born Chloe Stevens Sevigny in Darien, Connecticut to H. David Sevigny, an accountant turned interior painter, and Janine Malinowski. Her mother is a Polish American who grew up in Roxborough and her father was the distant descendant of a 17th-century French aristocrat, the Marquise de Sevigne; he passed away in 1996. She has an older sibling, Paul, who is now a New York DJ. Sevigny was strictly raised in the Catholic religion and attended Darien High School. While in high school, she babysat Topher Grace on several occasions.
Sevigny moved into her own apartment at age 18 in Brooklyn, and after hanging out with Manhattan skateboarders, she was spotted on an East Village street by a fashion editor of Sassy Magazine, who was so impressed by Sevigny's distinct style that she asked her to intern at the magazine. She later modeled in the magazine as well as for x-girl, the fashion label of Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. During that time, author Jay McInerney saw her around New York City and wrote a seven-page article about her for The New Yorker in which he dubbed her the new "it-girl". Sevigny is well known today for her fashion icon status. She appeared on the album cover of The Gigolo Aunts' 1994 recording Flippin' Out.
Early roles: 1995 - 1999
Sevigny made her film debut in the controversial low budget, independent film Kids (1995). The film was written by independent filmmaker Harmony Korine, with whom she has been romantically involved off and on since they were both teenagers. The film was given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA for its graphic sexuality involving minors, and drug use. Kids was released to mixed reviews by critics, some praising it for its social commentary on aimless teenagers; other criticized it as exploitative. The film quickly accumulated a cult following. She followed Kids, starring as Steve Buscemi's best friend's daughter, and his object of affection in the independent film Trees Lounge (1996).
Sevigny then starred in Gummo (1997), directed and written by Korine. Gummo received negative reviews from critics. This followed with roles in other independent films such as Palmetto (1997) and The Last Days of Disco (1998).
Sevigny rose to prominent attention and heavy critical praise after playing the girlfriend of a transgendered man in Boys Don't Cry (1999) which earned her Best Supporting Actress nominations for both an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award.
Later roles: 2000 - present
She followed this film with a supporting role in the controversial American Psycho (2000), as well as teaming up with Korine once again for Julien Donkey-Boy (1999) and A Map of the World (1999). Afterward, she had roles in Demonlover (2002), Party Monster (2003), Death of a Dynasty (2003), and Dogville (2003).
After Winona Ryder and Kirsten Dunst both turned down roles in The Brown Bunny (2003), Sevigny took on the role as Daisy, which involved performing actual fellatio during a scene in the film with co-star and director Vincent Gallo, her boyfriend at the time. After the film's release, the William Morris Agency dropped her as a client. She quickly signed on with another agency and continues to be successful in both modeling and acting, with roles in Shattered Glass (2003), Melinda and Melinda (2004), Manderlay (2004), Broken Flowers (2005), 3 Needles (2005), Lying (2006) and Sisters (2006).
In 2006, Sevigny co-starred in a new HBO television series, Big Love, about a family of polygamists. She plays the conniving, shopaholic daughter of a cult leader. She also has upcoming roles in Catherine and Peter and Zodiac, set for release sometime in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
Sevigny is a favorite of trendy magazines (she first graced the cover of Interview before Kids even came out), and she has modeled for a number of designers and brands, including Miu Miu, H&M, and MAC. But Sevigny is far from fond of her iconic status: “For some reason the public has embraced me as a fashion icon, and I feel like it has diminished me as an actress, or I don’t get as much recognition as an actress, and that upsets me”.
Personal life
Sevigny owns an apartment in Manhattan, which she bought for $1.2 million in 2006. While her romantic life is often hidden from the limelight, Sevigny has been romantically linked to actors such as Vincent Gallo, Jared Leto, Leonardo DiCaprio and Harmony Korine among others.
