Biography
Early life
Forlani was born in Twickenham in London, England
to Pier Forlani (an Italian, from Ferrara) and Barbara (who was English). [1] At
the age of eleven, Forlani entered the Arts Educational School in London, where
she began to study acting. During her six years at the school, she also studied
dance, which led to performances on stage in The Nutcracker and Orpheus in the
Underworld.
Career
Forlani's parents moved to San Francisco in 1993,
in order to allow for wider casting opportunities in Hollywood films.
Subsequently, Forlani was cast in the television mini-series J.F.K.: Reckless
Youth and the film Police Academy: Mission to Moscow.
In 1996, Forlani appeared in a supporting role in
the blockbuster action movie The Rock. She continued to appear in both widely
released and smaller-budget films. Forlani was cast in the 1998 film, Deep
Rising, but due to creative conflicts left the set during the first few days of
filming; that same year, her starring role in Meet Joe Black (co-starring Brad
Pitt) was Forlani's most financially successful film. Next, she appeared in
Antitrust, a thriller that was released in January of 2001 to mixed reviews.
Forlani was the new face of L'Oreal in 2001. She
has been ranked Ranked #51 (2000) and #89 (2001) in Stuff magazine's 100 Sexiest
Women, #85 (2001) in FHM magazine's 100 Sexiest Women and was slotted in
Loaded's Hot 100 Babes.
In the fall of 2006, Forlani will join the cast of
CSI: New York in a recurring role as a medical examiner.[2]

Forlani has dated actors Benicio Del Toro, John
Cusack (between 1997 and 1998) and Ben Stiller (between 1998 and 1999).
