Helen Slater's career has
encompassed motion pictures, television, music and legitimate
stage. Upon graduating from the famed High School of Performing
Arts, her debut film performance, opposite Faye Dunaway and Peter
O'Toole in "Supergirl" won praise from the most
cynical of critics and launched her performing career. She went
on to star in such films as "The Legend of Billie
Jean," "Ruthless People," "The Secret of
my Success," "City Slickers," "Sticky Fingers,"
"Lassie," "No Way Back" and "The Steal,"
among others. She is currently in "Seeing Other People,"
opposite Jay Mohr, Andy Richter and Josh Charles, and appeared
this season on "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit."
Helen cofounded the theatre group The Naked Angels and was a
member of the Actor's Movement Studio. She appeared in the offBroadway
plays, "Almost Romance" and "Responsible Parties,"
and starred in the Pasadena Playhouse's world premiere production
of "The Big Day."
She has also co founded two improvisational theatre groups in
Los Angeles: Otis Inspired and The Bubalaires. On television,
Helen starred in "Capital News," an ensemble drama
set in a Washington newsroom and costarring Lloyd Bridges.
Her credits also include Lifetime's "Wasting Away,"
the Fox original movie "12:01," Hallmark Hall
of Fame's "Life Estates" with Gena Rowlands and "Toothless"
with Kirstie Alley. She was a part of the allstar ensemble
cast of Showtime's guided improvisational films "Chantilly
Lace" and "Parallel Lives" and has gueststarred
on such series as "Seinfeld," "Caroline in the
City," HBO's "Dream On," CBS' "Michael Hayes," "Will and Grace," "The New Adventures of Old Christine," and "Grey's Anatomy."
A singer and songwriter since her days at the High School of
Performing Arts, Helen has performed at clubs and benefits in
the Los Angles area. She has also written music and lyrics for
an urban opera, "The Ugly Duckling," which has been
presented in workshop form. |
