Lena Headey
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Lena Headey, born on October 3, 1973, in Bermuda, is an actress best known for playing Sarah Connor on FOX's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, as well as appearing in such films as The Remains of the Day, The Brothers Grimm and 300.

Her father, an English police officer, was sent to train police in Bermuda where Headey was born. The family returned to Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, when she was eight years old.

Headey got her first taste of acting as a pupil at Shelley College and got her big break at the age of 17 when she was spotted performing in a school production at the Royal National Theatre and was picked for a role opposite Jeremy Irons in the 1992 film Waterland. This was followed by roles in James Ivory's Academy Award-nominated The Remains of the Day (alongside Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson), Stephen Sommers' The Jungle Book, Mrs Dalloway, Gossip, Aberdeen, The Parole Officer, Possession and Ripley's Game.

Most recently, Headey co-starred with Matt Damon and Heath Ledger in Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm, and played Queen Gorgo in Zack Snyder's 300, based on Frank Miller's graphic novel. She also appeared in two films with close friend Piper Perabo: The Cave and Imagine Me & You. Next up is The Red Baron with Joseph Fiennes. In addition to her film work, Headey is currently headlining FOX's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a television spin-off from James Cameron's popular Terminator franchise.
