Her Childhood and Youth
Anna was born on November 29, 1976, in Baltimore, but she spent her childhood and youth in Edmonds, a suburb of Seattle. The girl’s parents were intelligent people: her father, Jack Faris, taught sociology at the university, and his mother, Karen Faris, worked as a teacher at school.

Her Acting Career
In 1996, Anna had a small role in the movie Eden, which was awarded at the Sundance Film Festival. In 1999, she starred in the low-budget horror slasher Lovers Lane, in which she played an ill-fated cheerleader.
Then it was decided to shoot a sequel, and Faris, who had become a blonde, was the star of the screen. But despite money and fame that suddenly fell upon her, Anna realized that she was in a trap. The actress unwittingly became a hostage of one role, the directors wanted to see her in a familiar role, and the audience considered her the silly simpleton Cindy Campbell.


In 2010, Anna was recognized as the most fun and fearless girl in America and the most original actress of the comedy genre.

In 2012, she starred in an unusual image (with dark short hair) in the comedy The Dictator by Sacha Baron Cohen. She played the social activist Zoey, who made a capricious and imperious ruler of the fictional African country fall in love with her and changed his life.

In the spring of 2018, it was a premiere of the comedy Overboard. This is a remake of the movie of 1987, in which a simple hard worker of the people made a quarrelsome millionaire, who lost his memory during a storm, fall in love with him. In a new version, everything is different - Anna Faris’ character works as a hairdresser and falls in love with a millionaire with amnesia (Eugenio Derbez).

Soon Faris appeared with a new boyfriend, actor Chris Pratt, in public. Their romance began on the set of Take Me Home Tonight (shot in 2007) and developed rapidly. They loved each other and married in 2009.

Three years later, their son Jack was born, and Chris became more famous - he got a role in the sitcom Parks and Recreation. The auditions for the role of Star-Lord in the blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy changed everything. Thanks to the great sense of humor, Chris got the role and began to train with professionals. A year later, it was difficult to recognize Pratt. He was well-known after the premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy, and soon Anna Faris’ husband became one of the most famous actors in Hollywood.
