With a Hollywood career spanned over a decade, Anna Faris has proved herself to be a versatile and talented actress.

Born on November 29, 1976, Faris started her acting career on stage, joining Seattle Repertory Theatre at the young age of nine. Her passion for the craft grew until she made it her full-fledged career.

Before landing a starring role in "Scary Movie" in 2000, Farris only took on dramatic on-screen roles. Some of her succeeding movies include "Scary Movie 2," "Lost in Translation," and "The House Bunny." She also had a recurring role in the hit television series "Friends" as a surrogate mom.

Their marriage resulted in the birth of her first and only child, Jack. However, the duo eventually divorced in 2018. During her marriage to the Marvel actor, she felt alone with no one to talk to.

While Faris has enjoyed her public figure status for some time, she remains a private person, sharing only a few details about her personal life. She enjoys motherhood with one biological child alongside her husband, Michael Barrett.
