Ashley Judd Biography

Ashley Judd is one of the most popular and richest Movie Actress who was born on April 19, 1968 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Actress known for her roles in many successful films, including High Crimes, Divergent, and Insurgent. Her role in Double Jeopardy earned her a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Actress.

In 1997, she starred in Kiss The Girls with Morgan Freeman.

Judd was born in Granada Hills, Los Angeles. She is the daughter of Naomi Judd, a country music singer and motivational speaker, and Michael Charles Ciminella, a marketing analyst for the horseracing industry. Ashley’s elder sister, Wynonna, is also a country music singer. Her paternal grandfather was of Sicilian descent, and her paternal grandmother was a descendant of Mayflower pilgrim William Brewster. At the time of her birth, her mother was a homemaker; she did not become well known as a singer until the early 1980s. Judd’s parents divorced in 1972. The following year, her mother took Ashley back to Naomi’s native Kentucky, where Judd spent the majority of her childhood.

Judd appeared as Ensign Robin Lefler, a Starfleet officer, in two 1991 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, “Darmok” and “The Game”. From 1991 to 1994, she had a recurring role as Reed, the daughter of Alex (Swoosie Kurtz), on the NBC drama Sisters. She made her feature film debut with a small role in 1992’s Kuffs. In 1993, Judd fought for and was cast in her first starring role playing the title character in Victor Nuñez’s Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize dramatic winner Ruby in Paradise. Convinced that this role would shape the rest of her career, Judd was extremely nervous for the audition, nearly getting into a car accident en route. “From the first three sentences, I knew it was written for me”, she told the San Jose Mercury News. She received rave reviews playing Ruby Lee Gissing, a young woman trying to make a new life for herself, and it was this performance that would launch her career as an actress. Nuñez told author James L. Dickerson that the resonance of the character was Judd’s creation: “The resonance, those moments, was not contrived. It was just a matter of creating the scene and trusting that it was worth telling.”

She is the daughter of Naomi Judd. Wynonna Judd is her half-sister. She was married to Dario Franchitti from 2001 to 2013.
