She and her then-husband lived at that time in a lavish home in Bel Air, where they hosted parties for and were supporters of the U.S. The pilot for the show - about a suburban mother who, following the death of her husband, decides to sell marijuana to make money, while also attempting to maintain her profile in the community - was filmed last year, with 10 additional episodes ordered. During this interim, Moore was briefly married to a prominent Los Angeles-based stockbroker, one of her four husbands. Filming begins next month on the first season of Showtime's black comedy Weeds. With the advent of talking pictures in 1929, Moore took a hiatus from acting. Parker stars alongside James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Mandy Moore, Kate Winslet and Christopher Walken. By the late 1920s she had progressed to more important roles in films such as So Big (1925) and was also well received in light comedies. 2005 will also see the release of the John Turturro movie musical Romance And Cigarettes.

As she continued to play similar characters in successful films such as Flirting With Love and The Perfect Flapper, Moore's bobbed hairstyle was widely copied throughout the world. CBS will air the television film Vinegar Hill (filmed in 2004), which sees Parker playing a down-on-her-luck schoolteacher who, with her husband and two children, moves in with her in-laws only to discover their bitter, loveless relationship.

Moore's vivacious flapper caused a sensation and made her one of the most talked about actresses of her day. [2005]] is already shaping up as a big year for Parker. Her first major success was the 1923 film Flaming Youth. The production, directed by Mark Brokaw, was critically acclaimed during its run.

She was named as a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1922 in recognition of her growing popularity. Parker's former role of Pooty was played by Rosie Perez. Born Kathleen Morrison in Port Huron, Michigan, Moore made her first film appearance in 1918 and for the next few years appeared in small, supporting roles gradually attracting the attention of the public. Parker, who had starred in the film, this time took the lead role that had been Mia Farrow's on screen. Colleen Moore (August 19, 1900 - January 25, 1988) was a film actress, and one of the most fashionable stars of the silent movie era. In 2004, she appeared in the black comedy Saved!, and a TV movie called Miracle Run based on the true story of a mother with two autistic sons, as well as spending time on Broadway, appearing in Craig Lucas's Reckless. The joy was added to when, on January 7, 2004 - two months after her split from Billy Crudup - Parker gave birth to a healthy baby boy, William Atticus.

Parker played Harper Pitt, the valium-addicted wife of a closeted lawyer, and - among its many awards - Parker received the Golden Globe and Emmy awards for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries. The miniseries - about a group of lost souls in New York during the AIDS epidemic of the '80s - was internationally acclaimed and starred Meryl Streep, Al Pacino and Emma Thompson. On December 7 2003, HBO aired what would become the biggest event of the year in television: an epic six-and-a-half hour adaptation of Tony Kushner's acclaimed Broadway play Angels in America, directed by Mike Nichols. In November 2003, she split with long-time boyfriend Billy Crudup, after a seven year relationship which began when they met in a 1996 theater reprisal of the Marilyn Monroe film Bus Stop.

She was later to return for a few episodes. Around this time, Parker fell pregnant and her character was written out of the series after a few episodes of the fifth season. While some fans believed that this destroyed the show, and others enjoyed it, one thing was certain: the show's style had definitely changed. However in 2003, after the show's fourth season, creator and head writer Aaron Sorkin left the show along with his top director Thomas Schlamme.

For this role, Parker was nominated for an Emmy, and a Screen Actors Guild award. Next up was a guest role on the Rob Lowe/Martin Sheen NBC drama, The West Wing, as women's rights activist Amelia 'Amy' Gardner, which soon became a recurring role. Beginning in 2001, her character became Chief of Staff to the First Lady (played by Stockard Channing), became a love interest for neurotic Deputy Chief of Staff Joshua Lyman (played by Bradley Whitford), and provided another female voice in a show publicly criticised for its lack of high-level political women (with the exception of Allison Janney's press secretary C.J. Cregg). But whatever her theatrical aspirations, she would leave the stage for three years as her profile soared and she found roles wherever she looked: among them, the Silence of the Lambs prequel Red Dragon; a 2002 television movie based on the life of FBI spy-turned-Soviet informer, Robert Hanssen (played by William Hurt); and playing a struggling screenwriter alongside Martin Donovan in Pipe Dream (2002). However, Parker again lost out when the play was made into a film and the role was given to Gwyneth Paltrow.

In 2001, Parker appeared alongside Len Cariou and Anne Heche in David Auburn's Proof on Broadway, and among the praise showered on her was the much-coveted Tony award. After several independent film releases, she appeared in Let The Devil Wear Black and then a much-lauded role in 1999's The Five Senses. Her theater career continued to flourish when she appeared in Mark Brokaw's 1997 critical smash How I Learned To Drive, with David Morse. Parker did not become an instant household name, but rather a darling of the critics.

In 1997, she appeared alongside Matthew Modine in Tim Hunter's The Maker. She followed this up with a movie adaptation of yet another Craig Lucas play, Reckless (1995), alongside Mia Farrow and then in in Jane Campion's The Portrait of a Lady (1996) which also starred Nicole Kidman, Viggo Mortensen, Christian Bale, John Malkovich and Barbara Hershey. Parker maintained a strong theater presence in the early 1990s, but also maintained her reputation on the big screen, starring with Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones in The Client (1994); with John Cusack in Bullets Over Broadway (1994); and then playing an AIDS sufferer in Boys on the Side (1995), with Drew Barrymore and Whoopi Goldberg. This role was followed by her appearance in Fried Green Tomatoes in 1991 alongside Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson and Kathy Bates.

That same year she was noticed by critics worldwide when she appeared in the movie adaptation of another Craig Lucas play, the poignant Longtime Companion, one of the first movies to truly deal the AIDS virus. However, when the play was made into a film, Meg Ryan took over Parker's role. She also briefly dated her co-star Timothy Hutton. For her performance she won the Clarence Derwent Award and was nominated for a Tony award.

After a few minor roles, she made her Broadway debut in a 1990 production of Craig Lucas's Prelude to a Kiss, playing the main role of Rita. In the late '80s, she travelled to New York where she got a job measuring feet at Ecco. Acting was always her passion and she graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts with acting as her major. Parker was born on August 2, 1964 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.

Her best-known works include Boys on the Side, The West Wing, and Angels in America. Mary-Louise Parker is an American actress whose work in theater and film has won her international acclaim, and she has been the recipient of prestigious awards such as the Tony award, Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
