Biography
Ione Skye is a famous actress. She is best known for appearing in the film "Say Anything", a romantic comedy with John Cusack, and she has recently appeared in the film "Zodiac" with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Ione Skye was born in Hertfordshire, England in the year 1971. Her birthday is the 4th of September. Her father is internationally famous Scottish folk rock troubadour Donovan and her mother is the model Enid Karl. Ione Skye's film career began when she was in high school; at fifteen she appeared in the movie "River's Edge" as an underage rape / murder victim. Ione Skye became nationally famous with a costarring appearance alongside John Cusack in the 1989 romantic comedy "Say Anything". The film is about the high school relationship between an underachieving boy and a girl who is the valedictorian of the school, and introduced the image of a guy holding a boom box over his head playing Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" to woo a girl into the American cultural lexicon.
Ione Skye's film career has mostly cooled over the fifteen years since then, with no particularly outstanding roles, although she has continued to work at a steady pace in smaller films. Movies that Ione Skye has appeared in include "Stranded", "A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon", "The Rachel Papers", "Guncrazy", "Four Rooms", "Dream for an Insomniac", "Jump", "Mascara", "Moonglow", "Dry Cycle", "Return to Babylon", "Fever Pitch" and "The Lather Effect". She has also appeared in a minor role in an episode of the critically acclaimed sitcom "Arrested Development".
