Tea Leoni - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

It was during her travels that Leoni's interest in acting developed, and while living in Boston, she auditioned for a role in Angels '88, a Charlie's Angels spin-off (apparently she did it on a dare). Tea won the part, and while that show never actually aired due to a writers' strike, she landed a gig as a replacement for the Lisa DiNapoli character on the television series Santa Barbara in 1989. In 1991, Leoni made her big-screen debut playing Connie -- the "Dream Girl" -- in the Blake Edwards comedy Switch. A small part in the film A League of Their Own followed in 1992, the same year that she landed a role on the short-lived FOX sitcom Flying Blind. Although the series was critically acclaimed, it was canceled during its first season. Leoni's profile was given a big boost when she appeared alongside Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in the summer hit Bad Boys, in 1995. Later that same year, she debuted as Nora Wilde on ABC's The Naked Truth.
