How Chloe Sevigny Became a Preternatural Acting Talent
The sultry performer has bridged a career between acting, nightlife, and high fashion.
Chloë Sevigny was always more than a trendy, diaeresis-sporting, Manhattanite "it girl" — despite the fact that her presence on the New York City nightlife scene has been a near-constant since even before her acting career began. Regardless of her NYC association, Sevigny actually hails from nearby Darien, Connecticut — a tony enclave vastly different from the Downtown Manhattan she launched into as a teen model and actress in the '90s. After some spotwork in music videos for Sonic Youth and The Lemonheads, Sevigny was cast in the groundbreaking and controversial indie Kids by first-time director Larry Clark in 1995, gaining her instant notice when the film made a splash that year at the Cannes Film Festival.
