Biography Leslie Bibb (born Leslie Louise Bibb) was born in Bismark, North
Dakota on November 17, 1974. She was raised in Nelson County, Virginia, the
youngest of four sisters. Her father died when she was three so she grew up
in a single-parent home. The family later relocated to Richmond, Virginia,
where Leslie attended St. Gertrude's, an all-girls school. When Leslie was
16, her sister entered her photo on a nationally televised model search
sponsored by Oprah Winfrey. Out of a field of 6,000 applicants, she was one
of 20 chosen to appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" before a panel
of judges including Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Iman. Leslie walked
away the winner. After that Leslie’s
modelling career took a turn. She y attended the University of Virginia for a
short while, but by the age of 18 was working full time in New York,
appearing in numerous magazines such as YM and Seventeen. While modeling
brought Leslie to New York, it was acting that kept her there. After studying
in a three-year drama program in New York and traveling through Europe for
six months, she then set her sights on Los Angeles. Bibb soon started accumulating film and television credits. Among her feature film roles are "Private Parts," "The Space Between Us" and "Touch Me." She stars opposite Joshua Jackson ("Dawson's Creek") in the thriller "The Skulls" from Universal, and recently completed an independent feature, "The Young Unknowns," with Devon Gummersall. For television, she has guest starred on "Just Shoot Me," "Home Improvement," "Fired Up" and "Early Edition." Bibb reflected on her character, Brooke, as someone who "is flailing on the inside. She's stuck with maintaining this image because that's how she thinks she'll be loved and fit in. But it's stifling. After all," Leslie pointed out, "what 16-year-old knows herself well enough to understand all the contradictions?" Leslie currently resides in Los Angeles with her dog, Jack, whom she rescued from a shelter while living in New York City. A voracious reader, she also enjoys biking, hiking, and scouring flea markets for antiques. |
