BIOGRAPHY

Lena Headey is a British actress of theater and film who is best known for her appearance in The Brothers Grimm (2005), Possession (2002), and The Remains of the Day (1993). Headey starred as Queen Gorgo, heroic Spartan woman in the period drama 300 (2006), by director Zack Snyder.

She was born Lena Headey on October 3, 1973, in Bermuda, where her father, a Yorkshire police cadet, was sent shortly before she was born. She was raised in Bermuda living on the ocean until she was five. Back in England, she was brought up in Yorkshire before moving to London in her teens.

Headey had not gone to drama school before she became an actress. At the age of seventeen, Headey's performance in a one-off show in the company of six school friends caught the attention of a casting agent, who took a photo and asked her to audition.

Eventually, Headey was cast in Waterland (1992), which became her big-screen debut. She honed her natural acting talent while filming and also took archery classes and horse training. Headey also took boxing in clubs in south London, where a former boxer had been teaching her to spar. uring her film career, spanning over 15 years, Headey showed her range in a variety of roles, playing characters from Amazon-type warriors and action-minded women in The Cave (2005) and The Brothers Grimm (2005), to a lesbian lover in Imagine Me & You (2005).

Headey's film career has taken her all over the world. She was in India for the filming of The Jungle Book (1994), then in St. Petersburg, Russia, for the filming of Onegin (1999), and Norway for the filming of Aberdeen (2000). In 2005, Headey was filming in Romania and Mexico, then spent four months in Prague, Czech Republic, where a forest was designed and built for the filming of The Brothers Grimm (2005), with Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. During 2006, Headey was in Canada for the filming of 300 (2006), then went to locations in Bulgaria for shooting The Contractor (2007)(V), then she went to locations in Germany and the Czech Republic for filming Der Rote Baron (2008). She is also billed as Noring in the upcoming biopic Vivaldi (2008).

Outside of her acting profession, Lena continues taking boxing lessons in London. She is a vegetarian, and also remains loyal to yoga, which she discovered during her work in India. Headey has never been back to her birthplace in Bermuda. Lena married musician Peter Paul on May 19, 2007. She is also very close friends with actress Piper Perabo, her co-star in The Cave (2005) and Imagine Me & You (2005).
