Rebecca Gayheart

Actor/Actress

Prolific actress and former model Rebecca Gayheart has been lighting up screens since the mid-90s. Perhaps most recognised for playing Brenda in the cult classic Urban Legend, Gayheart has gone on to star in a plethora of film and television roles. Born and raised in Kentucky, USA, Gayheart first came to national prominence as “The Noxzema Girl.” With her trademark curls and fresh-faced appeal, Gayheart quickly established herself as a wholesome beauty. From playing Luke Perry’s bride on Beverly Hills, 90210, to taking on the mask in Scream 2, Gayheart accumulated an impressive list of TV and film credits before the decade’s end. Unstoppable and full of promise, Gayheart’s career was derailed following a tragic accident. Overcoming adversity is one of Gayheart’s most outstanding achievements. Now one of the most celebrated actresses around, Gayheart has a long and exciting career ahead of her.

Starring in the critically acclaimed FX series Nip/Tuck earned Gayheart high praise for her triumphant return to the industry. Alongside recurring roles in Dead Like Me, The Division and Vanished, Gayheart’s versatility as an actress shines. In film, Gayheart’s triumphant debut came with Nothing to Lose starring alongside Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence. From there, Gayheart would take on the woes of high school in Jawbreaker, star in Train’s music video Meet Virginia and play the iconic Billie Booth in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Passing the torch on to the next generation, Gayheart will reprise her original role in Colin Minihan’s modern Urban Legend remake.

Beyond the screen, Gayheart has done extensive theatre work. Her stunning Broadway debut came as Shelby in Steel Magnolias. Variety praised her performance and wrote: “Gayheart […] provides a strong centre, allowing only brief glimpses of the cracks in her cheerful, optimistic veneer and refusing to be treated as fragile goods by the clucking women around her.” With other credits including the sensational Boeing-Boeing at Longacre Theatre and The Last Night of Ballyhoo at the Canon Theatre, Gayheart continues to push the boundaries of her craft.
