Parker Posey Biography

Her mother, Lynda, is a housewife and her father, Christopher Posey, owns a Chevrolet dealership named Posey Chevrolet in Laurel, Mississippi; Posey's first name was a tribute by her father to 1950s supermodel Suzy Parker. Posey and her twin brother, Chris, were raised in Monroe, Louisiana and Laurel, Mississippi.

Posey appeared in minor roles in several major films of the early 1990s, including Sleepless in Seattle. Her first lead role was in Party Girl (1995). Throughout the late 1990s, she starred in a large number of independent films and was named Queen of the Indies by Time Magazine, which cited 32 independent films to her credit, including Personal Velocity, Clockwatchers and The House of Yes, for which she received especially positive reviews for her portrayal of a delusional woman in love with her own brother. She has appeared in three of director Christopher Guest's mock documentaries: Waiting for Guffman (1996), Best in Show (2000) and a A Mighty Wind (2003). She will also appear in his next film, For Your Consideration. Posey is also a favorite of director Hal Hartley.

She has also had a recurring role on the television series Will & Grace, as Jack's high-maintenance boss at Barneys.

Posey appeared in Superman Returns, playing "Kitty Kowalski", an assistant to villain Lex Luthor.
