Ashley Judd has a very famous background and upbringing.
Her mother, Naomi Judd raised Ashley and sister
Winona in poverty. Her father, Michael Ciminella,
was not a huge part of her life. Ashley was named
after the town of her birthplace, Ashland, KY She
graduated from Franklin High School in Tennessee
in 1986. She then went to University of Kentucky
where she majored in French and between parties,
studied and graduated in 1990.
Success came very easy for her. She was offered
the role that Pamela Anderson took as the "Tool
Time Girl" on "Home Improvement," but turned it
down to concentrate instead on movies. Her first
offered film role was a large part in "Kuffs", but
she again rejected the role because of nude scenes.
"Ruby in Paradise" and "Norma Jean and Marilyn,"
an HBO film that costarred Mira Sorvino gave her
much critical acclaim. But the role earned her much
critical praise and a glimpse of the public eye.
Then "A Time to Kill" followed, which skyrocketed
her to stardom. But it was a role in the blockbuster
"Kiss the Girls" (with Morgan Freeman) which proved
that she alone could carry a film. Since then, she
has appeared in many of the same action/suspense
type roles and performed well.
Off the screen, her romances have been quite high
profiled. She is now engaged to race car driver
Dario Franchitti. Previous to this, she had dated
Michael Bolton, Robert De Niro, and Matthew McConaughey.
This may have had something to do with her stardom.
