Neve Campbell

Campbell grew up in a family shaped by the arts and social science. Her father, Gerry Campbell, was a Scottish-born drama teacher, and her mother, Marnie Neve, was a Dutch-born psychologist. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she was raised in Toronto. A serious student of dance, she trained at the National Ballet School of Canada. Injuries and the rigors of ballet eventually pushed her toward acting rather than a professional dance career.

Her early break came on the stage, when she was cast in a Toronto production of The Phantom of the Opera in the late 1980s. Small television and film parts followed, but her profile rose sharply when she was cast as Julia Salinger on the family drama Party of Five. The series ran from 1994 to 2000 and introduced her to a broad American television audience.

In 1996 she took on the role that would define her public image: Sidney Prescott in Scream. The film's mix of genuine scares and knowing humor made it a hit and helped spark a new wave of slasher movies. Campbell returned for Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000), Scream 4 (2011), and the 2022 sequel. She also worked beyond horror, appearing in the supernatural drama The Craft (1996) and the thriller Wild Things (1998), and she continued to take roles in independent films and television.

In her personal life, Campbell married actor Jeff Colt in 1995; the couple divorced in 1998. She later married British actor John Light in 2007, and that marriage ended in divorce in 2011. She has two sons with her partner, actor JJ Feild. At points in her career she has stepped back from the pressures of Hollywood and chosen projects selectively, while remaining closely tied to the Scream franchise that made her a star.
