Rebecca Gayheart

Rebecca Gayheart is one of those faces from the '90s that you just know, even if you can't always place why — and that's kind of the story of her career in the best way. She grew up in Hazard, Kentucky, which sounds like a fictional town but is very real, and that small-town Southern roots energy somehow makes her whole trajectory feel more remarkable. She broke out as a teen model, became the "Noxzema girl," landed a recurring role on the cult hit "Beverly Hills, 90210," and showed up memorably in films like "Jawbreaker" and "Urban Legend." She's one of those performers who brought a genuine, slightly unpredictable quality to every role — never quite a villain, never quite the ingenue. Married to actor Eric Dane for years, she's also quietly moved into directing. I always root for the Kentucky girl who made it to Hollywood on her own terms.
