Alicia Silverstone

Alicia was born on October 4, 1976 in San Francisco, California. Silverstone is the daughter of a real-estate agent and an airline stewardess. She has two older siblings and she also owns a dog named Samson, who is part rottweiler, part doberman and part pitbull. .

She began working as a child model at the age of six . Her early professional credits include a Domino's Pizza commercial and a guest role on 'The Wonder Years'. She made her stage debut in Los Angeles at the Met Theatre playing a cocaine addict in 'Carol's Eve' .

At the age of 15, Silverstone landed her first starring role in The Crush (1993), a Fatal Attraction for the Noxema set in which she portrayed a young woman obsessed with an older man . She won roles in a couple of TV movies allowing her to co-star with recognized actors such as Raquel Welch and Tyne Daly. After a series of moderately successful movies, of which some were given straight-to-video releases, she finally found widespread recognition starring as Cher in the hit comedy, 'Clueless'. On the strength of this, Columbia Pictures have signed a multi-million dollar deal with Alicia giving her the opportunity to produce several films, beginning with the soon-to-be-released 'Excess Baggage'.

Alicia has always been down-to-earth and strong of will. She is adamant about her no-nudity policy in her films and repeatedly turned down her role in 'The Babysitter' until all nudity was axed from the script. Most recently, she is set to co-star alongside George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell in the latest Batman adventure, 'Batman and Robin', playing the role of Batgirl.
