About
Morena Baccarin
|

Morena is rumored to be on the
short list of actresses who are being considered for the upcoming film
version of Wonder Woman (2007). The writer and director, Joss Whedon, has
thus far claimed that he is not thinking about cast until the script is
complete. Morena attended the world-famous Julliard School of the Performing
Arts. Morena currently lives in both New York and Los Angeles, splitting her
time between the cities depending on whether she is working on stage or
screen.
In 2002, Morena won the "Best Actress" award at the Wine Country Film
Festival for her role in the film Way Off Broadway. |

Morena Baccarin as Actress
|
|
Morena landed her first film role in 2001 in the independent film Perfume,
which turned a critical eye on the fashion business and the lives of those
who work in it. The same year she played the lead role of Rebecca in the
film Way Off Broadway, which garnered rave reviews and earned Morena the
"Best Actress" award at the Wine Country Film Festival.
After a minor role in the film Roger Dodger in 2002, Morena appeared in the
Central Park production of The Seagull with Natalie Portman. She also was
the understudy for Portman’s role.
Later the same year, she got her first television role as Inara Serra on the
critically acclaimed series Firefly. The series was cancelled after only
eleven episodes were aired, but Universal Studios was so impressed with the
show and the cast that they greenlighted a silver screen continuation of the
story. The movie, called Serenity, opened in September of 2005 to almost
universal raves from critics.

Morena Baccarin on The O.C. |

All you
Firefly and Serenity fans will be happy to hear that Morena Baccarin
(who played the character of super sexy space hooker Inara - see you
really should get that DVD) is set to appear on several episodes of The
O.C.. I'm exstatic since The O.C. and Firefly are two of my favourite
shows, and since Morena is super sexy (as previously mentioned).
This will also mark a Firefly reunion, of sorts, since Melinda Clarke,
aka Julie Cooper, guest starred in an episode of short-lived show, also
playing a super sexy space hooker. |
