The daughter of famed producer John Foreman ("Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid"), actress Amanda Foreman followed in her father's footsteps to a career
in the entertainment industry, starting out in high school plays and moving
toward a successful film and television acting career. Dark-haired, with
striking and expressive eyes and a flair for the dramatic to which the
camera responded well, Foreman had an early television credit in the 1989
TV-movie "The Preppie Murder", an ABC offering based on the infamous Central
Park homicide.

Her next effort was in the similarly fact-based "Murder Without Motive: The
Edmund Perry Story" (NBC, 1992). 1992 also saw the actress make her big
screen debut with a part in the sentimental Mel Gibson drama "Forever Young".
"Live Wire", a political thriller, also featured Foreman and was aired that
same year on HBO. She continued to rack up credits, appearing in 1993's "Sliver",
and turning in an impressive starring performance in Laura Dern's
directorial debut "The Gift" (aired on Showtime in 1994).
After a couple of years off the scene, Foreman returned in good form with a
featured role in the HBO original film "Breast Men", a comedic dramatization
of the invention of silicone implants. In 1998, Foreman was cast on The WB's
college drama "Felicity" playing Meghan, the dark and moody party girl who
rooms with the titular new kid on the block. While Meghan's antics were
often outrageous, she proved a much-needed foil for the too-perfect Felicity
(Keri Russell) and added a great deal of comic relief to the series.
Although she continued to take on other projects, including a 1999 recurring
role on the CBS police drama "Nash Bridges" and an appearance in the Fox
Family Channel TV-movie "Storm" (1999), "Felicity" proved the best showcase
for Foreman's talent. Made a regular in 1999, she raised her profile on the
series, and her exposure led to a featured role in the comedy "Daddy and
Them" (2001), directed by and starring Billy Bob Thornton. |
