Brooke Smith Biography |

|
Brooke Smith grew up in New York in the shadow of show business owing to the fact that she is the daughter of powerful publicist Lois Smith. After studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, her "first big thing" was playing Catherine Martin, the abducted young girl in The Silence of the Lambs (1991). She went on to play Sonya in Louis Malle`s Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) and Dawn in Daniel Minahan`s brutal sendup of reality television Series 7: The Contenders (2001). Whether she is humming a Tom Petty tune, as her character did in "Lambs," or screaming for a bean dip, as her pregnant character does in "Series 7," Smith is known for giving brooding, detailed performances. In addition to stage work, her other interests include filmmaking (she has directed a short film and a feature-length documentary), journalism (she has published interviews with actors Steve Buscemi, Ed Harris, and Fred Ward), and travel (she has traveled extensively, especially to Africa).

Quotes It takes a minute to adjust to their physicality, and I didn`t adjust quick enough. We`re sad that he`s not with us. You can really tell when she scores and when she makes defensive plays, when she makes stops and blocks shots, how much that picks up the energy on the team. I think that as a team we`ve come a tremendously long way since November and December. But I don`t think that makes this loss more acceptable or makes it hurt any less. [On filming her torture scenes in The Silence of the Lambs (1991).] I had bad dreams before shooting, but when we started, it was cathartic. I screamed so much, it was like primal therapy. (2007) I was just taking what the defense was giving me. In the second half, I was finding some space and getting up good shots. It`s going to be exciting to play a team that`s doing as well as they`re doing. She was in a position that wasn`t really ideal, but she`s earned what she`s gotten. She`s talented and smart and she works really hard. [About gaining notoriety from her work on "Grey`s Anatomy" (2005).] I`m anxious about losing anonymity. I keep asking Chyler Leigh, "How`s the supermarket?". (2007) I think we learned a lot this week about game situations. We`re excited about playing again. [About the "Grey`s Anatomy" (2005) set.] They got rid of bottled water. We got thermoses that say "Grey`s Antomy Season 4" with our names on it. Cool. (2007) I think when you lose, you learn more from it. We`ll probably take more out of this than if we`d won. If we`d won, we`d be happy, but we wouldn`t focus on the things we didn`t do well. I was really happy for Cissy for playing well in her hometown. She was making smart plays and great passes and she was finishing, but I`m also happy about what it means for our team. We benefit a lot from what she`s able to do.Trivia She attended Tappan Zee High School. She adopted a baby girl from Ethiopia. Gained 25 pounds for her role as "roomy" Catharine Martin in The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Was in labor with her daughter Fanny for 78 hours and refused an epidural. Shared an apartment with Jeff Buckley before the recording of his album "Grace". Mother is retired PR powerhouse Lois Smith, whose clients have included Robert Redford. Father is publisher Gene Smith. With husband Steve Lubensky (35 years old), has a daughter, Fanny (4 years old). (2007). | ||
