Alison Lohman: movies, family, photo

What could be the reason for the desire of the daughter of the architect Gary Loman and the hostess of the bakery Diana to become an actress? None of the relatives of Alison Lohman, who was born in the California town of Palm Springs, had nothing to do with the theater or the cinema. But by the age of 10, the girl had performed with great pleasure before the public with songs and dances and was playing on the stage of the theater in her city.

One of her first roles was Greti in the musical "Sounds of Music" - she played at 9 years old, and the main role in the musical "Annie" she got at the age of 11 years. She was born on September 18, 1979 and on a horoscope - the Virgin. Alison Marion Loman is not the only child in the family, she has a younger brother Robert, born in 1982.

Youth

By the age of 17, Alison had 12 projects on his account. The 1990s began, and with them the film career of Alison Lohman, the films she starred at the beginning of her career were non-cash, she had small roles in television and television films, and she dreamed of a career in Hollywood. In 1997 she graduated from high school and moved to Los Angeles to devote herself to an acting career. Beginning of a career is a low-budget fantasy "Krae! - sea monster" in 1998. Among the first works - "Tucker", "Pasadena", "Thirteenth Floor", "Patrol of the Planet". These films did not stand out. She played a supporting role, and probably nothing would have changed if it were not for the casting of the film "White Oleander" (the adaptation of the novel by Janet Filch). She was heard about him, she really wanted to get to the tests, and - oh, lucky - was the best. A claim to the role of about 400 pretty young creatures.

"White Oleander" - the poison that started the career

The film is a hymn to feminism, in which all male roles are taken to the background. Director Peter Kosminsky created a truly cruel psychological drama in which a woman falls in love with an artist, but everything ends very badly - a man commits treachery, and a woman kills him. The film is shot chic and looks in one breath.

Perhaps, Alison is cunning, saying that she was just lucky enough to get this role. Maybe she had and has some secret, except talent and charm. But the result of this event in 2002, when the "White Oleander" was born, was that the name Alison Loman sounded. And this despite the low box office movie tickets. She played a minor child in a difficult life situation, and the world received another talented actress, two words "Alison Lohmann" were written on posters next to the names of such celibates as Michelle Pfeiffer and Renee Zellweger, as well as Robin Wright-Penn. This is very weighty!

Film career

After the success of "Oleander", the directors became interested in Alison Lohman: films with her began to appear with enviable regularity. Tim Burton invited her to shoot the movie "Big Fish" for the role of young Jessica Lange, where Evan McGregor and Helena Bonham-Carter, as well as Danny de Vito , took part.

Directed by Ridley Scott in 2003, he called the girl into her comedy "The Magnificent Scam", where Loman played the daughter of the hero Nicolas Cage. Critics were skeptical of the film, but the game was noted by Alison. Her behavior on the screen was excellent - from a fourteen-year-old modest and quiet, she turned into a real beast and tear. At this time, she was already about 25 years old. But this did not stop Alison Lohman - growth, weight, her grace and miniature allowed her to play the role of girls who are 10 years younger. She's just a baby - only 157 cm, and weighs about 48 kg. But the character behind the fragility is hiding strong and serious - this is evident in its roles.

The film "Big Fish" by Tim Burton was released in 2003, and here Alison Loman also took part. This is an adventure film in which the son of the deceased father collects about his deceased parent of history. But this is basically his conjecture, and thus the life of a man appears in a completely unexpected perspective.

In the film Where the Truth Lies, Alison Lohman had to be naked, and he was banned for viewing by children under 16 years old. The film was shot in 2005 by director Atom Egoyan, and, like the previous films with Alison, at the box office failed. Nevertheless, the game of the girl again caused delight among the specialists in the field of cinema.

It turns out that Alison is removed in the failed paintings, but her game is celebrated and appreciated. Is not this the evidence of the highest skill for the actor?

Further in 2006, Loman is removed in the drama "Flick", her role is a girl who tries to return her favorite horse, which her parents sold at auction. At the same time, Alison never sat astride, and she had to train tirelessly for a whole month. In 2007, she played the role of a drug addict in the movie "What We Lost".

Awards

2009 was marked for the actress by shooting in the film "Gamer". Alison Lohman, whose filmography has by 2015 already 32 films, in 2010 was nominated for the "Saturn" film award for the best female role. It was about the film "Drag Me to Hell", which tells about a modest bank employee, who refused to lend to an elderly gypsy woman. And in the end she got a hell of a life. As a result, she won the Young Hollywood Award and the MTV Movie Award for this film.

Character

She masterfully knows how to balance on the verge of love and hate, so closely related, and reveals these feelings in their heroines. Apparently, this is the secret of her magnetism and success. And in real life, she is either loved or hated - in what she admits to journalists herself. Alison is very closed person, it's difficult to communicate with her, it's noticed by her partners on the set. But she is so in life. And is it necessary to evaluate the actor on such character traits? Loman can masterfully "grow into" a role, and it is this quality that hypnotizes the viewer.

A family

Alison Lohman is popular, but glory is not important to her, her looks and admiration are alien to her. She likes to stay in the shade. Her husband, Mark Nevedeline, is most likely very pleased with the nature of his wife - homely, modest, quiet, not chasing after fame and fortune. By the way, Alison is a vegetarian. With the spouse they were married in August 2009, and they are all fine, they do not intend to get divorced. In 2010, the couple's son Billy was born, the baby was born in the Romanian capital, Bucharest. Alison Lohman and her husband and son live in America, they have absolutely happy family, they adore animals, there are two cats in their house - Monk and Clint.
