Samantha Mathis (born May 12, 1970) is an American actress. The daughter of actress Bibi Besch, Mathis made her film debut in Pump Up the Volume (1990), and later co-starred or appeared in such films as Little Women (1994), The American President (1995), Broken Arrow (1996), American Psycho (2000), The Punisher (2004), and Atlas Shrugged: Part II (2012).
Mathis was born in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Donald Mathis and Austrian-born actress Bibi Besch, and the granddaughter of Gusti Huber and yacht racer Gotfrid Köchert. Her parents divorced when she was two years old, and Mathis was raised by her mother. She relocated with her mother to Los Angeles at the age of five. Mathis's mother discouraged her from pursuing acting, but growing up on locations, in theaters, and in acting classes, Mathis knew she wanted to act. She decided to become an actress at the age of twelve.
Mathis began acting professionally at the age of 16. Her first job was a commercial for "Always Slender Pads – Just For Teens." She costarred in the television series Aaron's Way and Knightwatch from 1988 to 1989. Her first starring role in a feature film was that of Nora in Pump Up the Volume (1990), opposite Christian Slater, whom she briefly dated at the time. Mathis dyed her natural blonde hair black for the role in an effort to change her image from sweet and innocent to strong-willed.
Actress Samantha Mathis made her debut appearance on Late Show with David Letterman on February 7, 1996 to promote the movie "Broken Arrow" and to talk about working with John(s) Woo and Travolta.
At the Tribeca Film Festival, actors Trevor Morgan and Samantha Mathis talk about their independent drama, Local Color.
This is near the end of the movie, Miranda Presley (no relations), played by Samantha Mathis, gets an epiphany and writes this song. She is trying to pass audition and play at the Bluebird Cafe.

Starring River Phoenix, Samantha Mathis, Dermont Mulroney, and Sandra Bullock.

I don't make any profit!

Broken arrow (1996). Terrorists steal nuclear warheads from the U.S. military but don't count on a pilot and park ranger spoiling their plans.
Railroad owner Dagny Taggart and steel mogul Henry Rearden search desperately for the inventor of a revolutionary motor as the U.S. government continues to spread its control over the national economy.
"Broken Arrow" is the term used to describe a nuclear device that has been lost. In this movie, two nuclear missiles are stolen by rogue US pilot Deakins, but hot on his trail is his co-pilot Hale and a Park Ranger, Terry. The action takes place in Utah's canyon country; a high stakes game of cat and mouse
This unsold TV pilot is kind of a "modern" remake of The Brady Bunch... kind of. Starring 2 actors that I am sure never went anywhere... Mark Ruffalo and Samantha Mathis... Witness what happens when Jimmy Breslin helps make a sitcom. Mom is the mayors aid, dad is a syndicated columnist and their kids (from previous marriages) have to live in the perfect American Nuclear Family.
Two great actresses square off in a debate about family, fairness and choices. Linda Lavin is the mentor and Samantha Mathis is the student in this two person stage play adapted for the small screen. The crux of the plot happens when Lavin confides in Mathis a story about a previous lover and the affair that they began in the 1950s. Mathis takes the tale and makes it her own, writing her first novel based on it. The question of trusting someone as a family member and what is fair game to tell as "your story" serves as the heart of the film. Two brilliant and convincing performances are turned in by the two actors and there are both some riveting and humorous moments between them.

William Richert speaks to German television about the night River Phoenix died in front of the Viper Room. His brother waited until he was on the street before calling the emergency number, and then he and his sister Rain concealed from the medics that River had been given an overdose. Instead they said he was suffering from seizures, and so the medics did not give River the antidote to heroin and he died. The family stopped all investigations. They had the same lawyer as Johnny Depp, owner of the Viper Room at the time, and Joaquin and Rain left LA immediately after the killing, while Samantha Mathis and the others refused to comment. But the time has come for truth. It is not known when the German interview will air. New information on this will also be presented via a new additio...
