Connecticut native Kim Greist spent her late teen years in Europe as a
professional model. She returned to the US at age 20 and launched an
acting career in the off-Broadway comedy "Second Prize: Two Months in
Leningrad"; her later stage credits included appearances in the New
York Shakespeare Festival. In 1984, Greist made her movie bow in the
scuzzy horror epic C.H.U.D. (1984); the following year, she was cast in what
remains her best film role, the elusive blonde fantasy girl of
futuristic bureaucrat Jonathan Pryce in director Terry Gilliam's Brazil (1985). Greist has
continued to appear in films and television into the 1990s, with
substantial roles in such productions as Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993) and
Roswell (1994).
