Mini biography
Wanting to be a dancer, Elizabeth Hurley went to ballet boarding school at 12,
but soon returned home. When it came time to go to college, Hurley won a
scholarship to the London Studio Centre which taught courses for dance and
theater. Soon Hurley wore the punk rock look with pink hair and a nose ring, but
to get work, she had to change her image to one that was castable. After
college, Hurley worked in the theater and made her screen debut in Aria (1987).
Roles in Television, and a film Remando al viento (1988), which included a young
actor named Hugh Grant soon, followed. European films followed her appearance in
the BBC serial Christabel (1988) (TV). Her film debut in a Hollywood movie was
in the Wesley Snipes action drama Passenger 57 (1992). When Hugh Grant was
picked up with Divine Brown, Hurley became headline news. Added to this was the
fact that she was the model representing top cosmetics house Estee Lauder, and
there was nowhere Hurley could go to get away from the press. In 1994, Hurley
and Hugh Grant set up Simian Films in partnership with Castle Rock
Entertainment. As Head of Development, Hurley found the script and produced her
first film Extreme Measures (1996), which stars Hugh Grant.
