Actors - Poppy Montgomery


Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth Deveraux Donahue (born June 19, 1972 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian actress.

She chose her mother's maiden name, Montgomery, as her stage name. She left Australia to be with her then-boyfriend. They broke up, and she arrived in Hollywood at age 18 carrying a copy of How to Make It In Hollywood.

Her brother is named Jethro Tull Montgomery. Her sisters are called Rosie Thorn, Daisy Yellow, Lily Belle and Marigold Sun - all named after flowers, as Poppy is.

She currently stars in the American television series Without a Trace. Montgomery was the "cover girl" for the May 2005 Stuff, which labeled her "TV's Hottest Cop." She has also appeared in Maxim, FHM and appeared nude in the art magazine Black+White.

Montgomery was praised for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe
in the 2001 CBS mini-series Blonde, based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates. She quit practicing yoga and gained 12 pounds in order to replicate Monroe's ample figure.

Montgomery insisted she was born in 1975, in an interview with USA magazine Entertainment Weekly in 2004.
