The attractive, auburn-haired Debra Messing
has proven to be adept in both comedy and drama. The Brooklyn-born
player burst on the scene in Hollywood in the mid-1990s, armed with
solid training and theatre credits to play Gail O'Grady's scheming
sister on four episodes of the ABC drama series "NYPD Blue"
during the 1994-95 season. She then won her own series, the Fox sitcom
"Ned and Stacey", in which she was a liberal journalist
forced into a marriage of convenience with a conservative ad executive
(Thomas Haden Church). Messing had trained at Brandeis, NYU's Graduate
Acting program and at RADA and LAMDA in London before making her professional
debut in a production of "The Importance of Being Earnest"
in Seattle and appearing in John Patrick Shanley's "Four Dogs
and a Bone" and Paul Rudnick's "The Naked Truth" off-Broadway.
She also played Harper Pitt in the pre-Broadway workshop production
of Tony Kushner's "Angels in America: Perestroika". Messing
made her feature film debut in 1995 playing Keanu Reeves' wife in
"A Walk in the Clouds" and landed the female lead in the
big screen adaptation of "McHale's Navy" (1997).Debra
