Elizabeth Jane Hurley (b. 10 June 1965, Basingstoke, Hampshire) is an English actress, fashion model, producer and designer.

Biography

Hurley's father, a lapsed Catholic of Irish descent, was a British Army major, while her mother, an Anglican, was a schoolteacher at Kempshott Infant School. She has an older sister, Katie, and a younger brother, Michael.

Hurley took ballet classes as a child. She went to Kempshott Junior and Infants school, and at the age of twelve, received a scholarship at a boarding school, although she was subsequently expelled for poor grades. [citation needed] She then moved to the Harriet Costello School. Hurley later attended Queen Mary's College, Basingstoke, for one year, followed by Basingstoke College of Technology and the London Studio Centre.

Career

In the late 1980s, Hurley won a "Face of the Year" competition at a local newspaper in Winchester, England, and gained a year's modeling contract with a prestigious London firm as the first prize. Hurley also launched an acting career, attracting some attention with the Dennis Potter-directed UK TV movie "Christabel" in the late 1980s, and appearing in several low budget English and Hollywood films, including the 1992 thriller Passenger 57, in which Hurley played a terrorist. She also appeared on television on both sides of the Atlantic, appearing in the British series Rumpole of the Bailey and the George Lucas-produced The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

In 1994 Hurley attended the London première of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral starring her then-companion Hugh Grant. Hurley's appearance in a black Versace dress held together with gold safety pins gained her considerable media attention. It has often been referred to simply as "that dress" and, following Versace's murder in 1997, the London Times' obituary cited it as the thing for which the subject was best known.

In 1995 Hurley began working with top cosmetics company Estée Lauder as their main spokesmodel. Within her first month with the company Hurley launched the best-selling perfume, Pleasures. In 2007 Hurley's contract with Estée Lauder was renewed for the 13th year with a subsequent contract extension.

Hurley and Grant joined forces to create Simian Films, a production company. Through this joint venture Hurley produced two films starring Grant, Extreme Measures (1996) and Mickey Blue Eyes (1999). She also produced the 2004 film Method in which she starred. In 2006 the company was dissolved as both Hurley and Grant focused on other projects.

In 1997 Hurley was cast as the female lead in the hit Mike Myers spy comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. After the success of that film Hurley appeared in several more high-profile films, including EdTV, Bedazzled, Double Whammy and 2002's Serving Sara, which was her last American film to date. Hurley also hosted the first season of the British reality series Project Catwalk featuring novice fashion designers. She could possibly play a KAOS Agent in the big screen version of Get Smart.

In 2005 Hurley's beachwear line Elizabeth Hurley Beach debuted in select Saks Fifth Avenue stores in the United States, Harrod's in the UK, various other locations worldwide and through her website. In 2006, the line expanded its distribution among Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Asia.

Personal life

Hurley had a long relationship with Hugh Grant, spanning from 1987-2001. After their relationship ended, the two remained cordial. Later in 2001, Hurley began a relationship with multi-millionaire American film producer Stephen Bing. In 2001 Hurley revealed that she was pregnant with Bing's child, a claim Bing rejected.

On April 4 2002, Hurley gave birth to a son, Damian Charles Hurley. A DNA test conducted four months after the child's birth vindicated Hurley and Bing was proven to be the father. Damian was baptised a Roman Catholic. Grant is among one of Damian's godfathers.

On March 2nd, 2007, Liz Hurley married in secret to Indian buinessman Arun Nayar at Sudeley Castle, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The couple were supposed to wed on the 3rd March but wanted to keep the ceremony private so held it one day early. However, only the guests were only informed of this change in date. Many famous celebrities are expected to attend.

Elizabeth Hurley maintains three homes: in London; in Ampney Crucis, a village in Gloucestershire; and in Beverly Hills, California.

Charity work

Since she signed with Estée Lauder, Hurley has taken an active role in the company's breast cancer charity. Hurley revealed that her grandmother died from breast cancer because for a number of years she refused to reveal the existence of a lump. By the time this was revealed, it was too late to save her life. Hurley was the Mistress of Ceremonies at "The Hot Pink Party" at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City to mark the tenth anniversary of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Additionally, Estée Lauder created a lipstick named "Elizabeth Pink" after Hurley; proceeds from the sale of every tube of "Elizabeth Pink" benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Hurley has also acted as mistress of ceremonies for The Prince's Trust, a charity founded by Prince Charles which aids youth in Great Britain. She has also helped cricketer and friend Imran Khan with his cancer hospital in Pakistan. Ironically, Imran's ex-wife was the girlfriend of Hurley's ex boyfriend, Hugh Grant, connecting all four together.
