	Actors - Debi Mazar

Debi Mazar (born August 15, 1964) is an actress of Italian-American and Latvian-Jewish extraction, best known for her trademark Jersey Girl-type appearances, and as edgy, sharp-tongued women in independent films.

She began her career as a hip hop b-girl in New York City in the 1980s and befriended a pre-fame Madonna.

Her first television appearance was on the pilot for a hip hop telelvision dance show, Graffiti Rock in 1984.

She also appeared in three Madonna videos - "True Blue", "Papa Don't Preach" and in "Music".

Mazar has played a number of minor-yet-colorful supporting roles in a variety of movies, including: as Sandy, Henry Hill's girl on the side in GoodFellas
(1990), The Doors
, Bullets Over Broadway
, and as Spice (of Sugar and Spice) in Batman Forever
(1995).

She had a recurring role in the 1993 - 1994 season of the TV drama L.A. Law.

She has appeared in independent films like Inside Monkey Zetterland
and Nowhere but has also dabbled in mainstream attempts like Batman
, and her short-lived sitcom, "Temporarily Yours". (The sitcom was about a woman who, in an attempt to get a good apartment in New York City, lies about being employed with a temp agency and then shows up at the agency begging for work.)

From 2000 – 2002 she played "Jackie" on the television drama That's Life.

Currently, she is in a supporting actor role on Entourage, an original comedy series on HBO.

Mazar's father, Harry Mazar, was born in Latvia to a Jewish family, her mother, Nancy Kappes, is of Italian Catholic descent.

She married Gabriele Corcos on March 16, 2002, and they have a daughter named Evelyn Maria, born on July 12, 2002. They are expecting a second baby girl sometime in late February 2006.

She also appeared as the genie in the Space Monkey's video, "Sugarcane".
