Piper Lisa Perabo aka Piper biography

Her all American good looks come from rather exotic origins as her father is Portuguese and her mother is Norweigan. She graduated from Toms River North High School. Also, she graduated summa cum laude from Ohio University where she majored in Theater Arts.Not getting the memo that your twenties are supposed to be spent slaving in dead-end office jobs, she was cast Piper came to national attention after starring in Coyote Ugly (Tyra Banks, Maria Bello). Men around the world prayed for something that combined Showgirls and Cheers. Unfortunately, it wound up being like if Flashdance (Jennifer Beals) as written by an 11 year old girl. Quality aside, the movie showed that Piper is a lovely girl with a lot of talent.Since then, she’s left the world of dancing bartender movies behind and starred in some higher quality fare. She received rave reviews for Lost and Delirious Mischa Barton where she played a boarding school student having a passionate lesbian love affair with her friend.
