Early Life

Born on November 29, 1976, in Baltimore, Maryland, Anna Kay Faris is the daughter of Jack, a sociology professor, and Karen, a special education teacher. Both parents hailed from Seattle, Washington, but were residing in Baltimore due to her father’s position at Towson University. When she was six, the family moved back to Washington, settling in Edmonds, where her father worked at the University of Washington and her mother taught at Seaview Elementary School. She has an older brother, Robert, who followed in their father’s footsteps to become a sociologist and is a professor at the University of California, Davis.

Career Beginnings

Encouraged by her parents, Anna began acting at a young age, joining a children’s community drama class at the age of six. When she was nine, she made her professional debut with a three-month performance in the play “Danger: Memory!” at the Seattle Repertory Theater, earning $250 for her role. Her early theater experiences also included performances in productions of “To Kill a Mockingbird” at the Village Theatre in Issaquah, Washington, as well as roles in “Heidi” and “Our Town”.

Attending Edmonds-Woodway High School, she participated in the drama club and appeared in various projects, including a frozen yogurt TV commercial and a training video for the Red Robin burger chain. After completing high school in 1994, she pursued her education at the University of Washington, where she graduated with a degree in English literature in 1999. Initially, she intended to move to London and not follow an acting career, but ultimately decided to relocate to Los Angeles “at the last minute” instead.

Success

Her career took off in 2000 when Faris secured her breakout role in the horror-comedy film “ScaryMovie.” This film marked her first leading role, as her previous involvements were primarily limited to small or supporting parts. “Scary Movie” achieved commercial triumph, grossing US$278 million globally, and earned her nominations at the 2001 MTV Movie Awards for both Breakthrough Female Performance and Best Kiss. She has reprised her character Cindy Campbell in three sequels: “Scary Movie 2” (2001), “Scary Movie 3” (2003), and “Scary Movie 4” (2006).

With her place established as a comedic actress, Faris soon landed more roles, including memorable performances in “The Hot Chick” and “Lost in Translation.” Her brief yet impactful comedic turn in “Lost in Translation” opened doors for her in various projects like the romantic comedy “Just Friends” and the Oscar-winning film “Brokeback Mountain.” Yet, comedies remained her forte, as she starred in movies such as “The House Bunny” (2008), “Observe and Report” (2009), “Take Me Home Tonight” (2011), “The Dictator” (2012), and “Overboard” (2018). Beyond feature films, Faris voiced characters in animated films including “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” (2009), “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” (2009), and “Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked” (2011). In 2011, she also took on the role of executive producer for the romantic comedy “What’s Your Number?”. Faris’s diverse television appearances boast shows like “King of the Hill,” “Friends,” “Entourage,” “Saturday Night Live,” and “The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale.”

During her divorce process, she opted for cosmetic surgery, receiving breast implants—a choice she candidly discusses in her book “Unqualified” (2017).

Faris and Pratt announced their separation in August 2017, filed for divorce in December that year, and confirmed the completion of their divorce in October 2018.

While working on the film “Overboard,” Faris crossed paths with the cinematographerMichael Barrett was rumored to be dating Faris as early as September 2017. However, it wasn’t until February 2020 during her appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” that she publicly confirmed her engagement to Barrett.

In 2018, they put the house on the market for $4.995 million. This 4,700-square-foot residence boasts a turret entry, impressive wood-beamed ceilings, and arched windows and doorways.

Ultimately, they secured a buyer for $4.75 million in September 2020.

In October 2019, Anna acquired a home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, paying just under $5 million. Unfortunately, this property was completely devastated in the Palisades Fire that occurred in January 2025.
