Biography

Robin Wright Penn made her motion picture debut in Rob Reiner's cult classic THE PRINCESS BRIDE, before appearing in supporting roles opposite some of Hollywood's greatest actors, including: Sean Penn and Gary Oldman in STATE OF GRACE; Albert Finney and Aidan Quinn in THE PLAYBOYS; and Robin Williams in TOYS. Wright Penn has since become one of cinema's most acclaimed actors.

In 1995, Wright Penn received Golden Globe and Screen Actor's Guild Award nominations for her supporting role opposite Tom Hanks in 1994's Best Picture Oscar winner, FORREST GUMP. She went on to star opposite Jack Nicholson in THE CROSSING GUARD, and opposite Morgan Freeman in MOLL FLANDERS. She co-starred with William Hurt in LOVED, a special presentation at the Seattle and Toronto Film Festivals, and for that performance won the Best Actress Award at the Seattle Film Festival and received an Independent Spirit Award nomination. In 1998, Robin earned her second Screen Actor's Guild Award nomination for her Lead Performance in Nick Cassavetes' SHE'S SO LOVELY.

Wright Penn will soon be seen in Robert Zemeckis' BEOWULF starring opposite Anthony Hopkins and Brendan Gleeson for Columbia pictures. The picture is based on the old English poem about a knight who slays a monster and becomes king. She recently wrapped production on the drama HOUNDDOG opposite Dakota Fanning and David Morse.

Wright Penn last appeared in SORRY, HATERS, an IFC InDigEnt feature film for director Jeff Stanzler, which explores the anxieties and fears of a post 9/11 America through the story of a cab driver who picks up a troubled professional woman with unexpected results. Other recent film credits include Fred Schepisi's EMPIRE FALLS, for which she received a SAG nomination for her role; Rodrigo Garcia's NINE LIVES, for which she received an Independent Spirit nomination for her role; Michael Mayer's A HOME AT THE END OF THE WORLD adapted from Michael Cunningham's novel, a cameo in Deborah Kampmeier's VIRGIN, which Wright Penn also executive produced; and Keith Gordon's THE SINGING DETECTIVE opposite Robert Downey Jr., which premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival.

Additional film credits include: the Warner Brothers drama WHITE OLEANDER with Michelle Pfeiffer, Renee Zellweger and Alison Lohman; the film adaptation of HURLYBURLY; the romantic drama MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE with Kevin Costner and Paul Newman; HOW TO KILL YOUR NEIGHBOR'S DOG opposite Kenneth Branagh; M. Night Shyamalan's supernatural thriller UNBREAKABLE opposite Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson; and Sean Penn's highly acclaimed drama, THE PLEDGE opposite Jack Nicholson.
