Rebecca Romijn has quickly established herself in Hollywood with roles in a number of prominent films.

She most recently co-starred in the hyped action sequel X2 which opened in 93 territories and has grossed over $400,000,000 to date. Variety said of her performance, "She's not really fair to the other actors, in that she effortlessly steals every scene she's in just by standing around in her blue-hued altogether. When her aptly named character Mystique takes control of the action, actress really turns it on, morphing from one identity to the next more frequently, and much more quickly, than Cher changes costumes during a concert."

It was her role in Femme Fatale, opposite Antonio Banderas, that won her critical acclaim. In this film noir thriller, Rebecca plays a woman attempting to go straight, while being haunted by her shady con-woman past. The Los Angeles Times said of her performance, "Not since Sissy Spacek burned up the screen in Carrie has a De Palma woman held the screen as forcefully as Rebecca Romijn."

These films come on the heels of her starring role in Rollerball, opposite Chris Klein and LL Cool J, a role opposite Al Pacino in Simone, and the hugely successful X-Men.

Rebecca began crossing over from the fashion world with memorable appearances on the hit television shows "Friends" and "Just Shoot Me," as well as hosting MTV's "House of Style," and cameos in such films as Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

She currently resides in Los Angeles.
