Early life and education[link]

Henry Ian Cusick was born in Trujillo, Peru to a Peruvian mother (Esperanza Chávez) and a Scottish father (Henry Joseph Cusick).

Alicia Silverstone ( /əˈliːsiə ˈsɪlvərstoʊn/; born October 4, 1976) is an American actress, author, and animal rights and environmental activist. ^[1]

Early life[link]

Silverstone was born in San Francisco, California, the daughter of Deirdre "Didi" (née Radford), a Scottish-born former Pan Am flight attendant, and Monty Silverstone, a real estate agent born in England.^[2][3] She has two older siblings, a half-sister from her father's previous marriage named Kezi Silverstone and a brother named David Silverstone. She grew up in an upper-middle class home in the San Francisco suburb of Redwood City, California.^{[citation needed]} Her father is Jewish and her mother converted to Conservative Judaism before marriage.^[4] She began modeling when she was six years old,^[5] and was subsequently cast in television commercials, the first being for Domino's Pizza.^[6] She attended Crocker Middle School and then San Mateo High School.^[7]

Career[link]

Silverstone won several awards for her film performances. She received multiple MTV Movie Awards and a Young Artist Award for The Crush. For Clueless she received multiple MTV Movie Awards and a Young Artist Award once again, plus awards from Blockbuster Entertainment Award, Kids' Choice Awards, National Board of Review, and an American Comedy Award.

1990s[link]

Her first credited role was in Fred Savage's The Wonder Years in the episode titled "Road Test", as his high school "dream girl". Silverstone then won a leading part in the 1993 film The Crush, playing a teenaged girl who sets out to ruin an older man after he spurns her affections; she won two awards at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards for the role—Best Breakthrough Performance and Best Villain. Silverstone became legally emancipated at the age of 15 in order to work the hours required for the shooting schedule of the film.^[6] Alicia made some television movies in her early career including Torch Song, Cool and the Crazy and Scattered Dreams.

After seeing her in The Crush, Marty Callner decided Silverstone would be perfect for a role in a music video he was directing for the band Aerosmith, called "Cryin'"; she was subsequently cast in two more videos, "Amazing" and "Crazy". These were hugely successful for both the band and Silverstone, making her a household name (and also gaining her the nickname, "the Aerosmith chick").^[8] After seeing Silverstone in the three videos, filmmaker Amy Heckerling decided to cast her in Clueless.^[9]

Clueless became a sleeper hit and critical darling during the summer of 1995. ^[10] As a result, she signed a deal with Columbia-TriStar worth $10 million.^[11] As part of the package, she got a three-year first look deal for her own production company, First Kiss Productions. Silverstone also won "Best Female Performance" and "Most Desirable Female" at the 1996 MTV Movie Awards for her performance in the film. In the same year Silverstone starred in the erotic thriller, The Babysitter, film adaptation of the novel by Dean Koontz, Hideaway, and the French drama about Americans, New World.
