Jacinda Barrett

Thursday, May 8th, 2008


Born on August 2, 1972, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Jacinda Barrett father is an airport firefighter, one of the first on the scene after a plane crash; she confess that her parents sheltered her from the harsh nature of her father’s work while she was a child. Kenmore State High School in Brisbane is her first studied in drama, but her desire to see the world led her to leave home immediately after high school.

When she was 17 years old, Jacinda headed for Europe, where she began a whirlwind career as a model for the Storm modeling agency, the same agency that represented fellow models turned actresses, Elle Macpherson and Josie Maran), basing herself out of Paris, France.

In the years that followed, Jacinda strutted her sexy stuff on the runways of the world. Much to the chagrin of men everywhere, she soon got bored of the modeling life and decided to try her hand at acting.

Jacinda’s stunning good looks led to her big break on MTV’s The Real World: London in 1995. Although it was a fun ride, it was ultimately not the type of “acting” Jacinda wanted to pursue. As a result, she decided to take some time off to devote herself to more stringent acting lessons.

Jacinda Barrett enrolled in the British Academy of Dramatic Art in Oxford, England, and her training paid off in spades. In 1997, she was cast in her first film: Campfire Tales.

Fortunately, Jacinda had a talented tongue. Her skill to drop her native Australian accent helped her land more coveted roles in the U.S., most notably in 2000’s Urban Legends: Final Cut.

But it was Jacinda’s big screen exposure (we mean that literally) in 2003’s The Human Stain — opposite Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman — that thrust her into the spotlight. Her nude scene virtually assured that her star was on the rise.

As a result, Jacinda landed roles in the high-profile films Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, opposite Renee Zellweger and Hugh Grant, and the tribute to firefighters, Ladder 49 (both in 2004). Interestingly, Jacinda’s 5′10″ height sometimes plays against her; in Ladder 49, she had to wear flat shoes so that she wouldn’t tower over co-star Joaquin Phoenix.

Big things are happening for Jacinda Barrett, as she is set to star in 2006’s The Last Kiss, opposite Zach Braff (of Scrubs and Garden State fame). On a personal note, Jacinda has been engaged twice so far, once to actor Gabriel Macht and another time to actor Chris Hardwick.
