Lili Taylor

Lili Anne Taylor (born February 20, 1967) is an American actress. She came to prominence with supporting parts in the films Mystic Pizza (1988) and Say Anything... (1989), before establishing herself as one of the key figures of 1990s independent cinema through starring roles in Bright Angel (1990), Dogfight (1991), Household Saints, Short Cuts (both 1993), The Addiction (1995), I Shot Andy Warhol (1996), and Pecker (1998). Taylor is the recipient of four Independent Spirit nominations, winning once in the category of Best Supporting Female. Alongside her work on smaller-scale projects, Taylor has encountered mainstream success with parts in films such as Born on the Fourth of July (1989), Rudy (1993), Ransom (1996), The Haunting (1999), High Fidelity (2000), Public Enemies (2009), The Conjuring (2013), and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015). Other credits include Factotum, The Notorious Bettie Page (both 2005), To the Bone (2017), and Paper Spiders (2020). Outside film, Taylor has appeared in an array of television series. She was nominated for the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress for her portrayal of Anne Blaine on the ABC drama series American Crime (2015–2017). She received a further two Emmy nominations for her guest role as Marty Glenn in the X-Files episode "Mind's Eye" (1998) and her recurring portrayal of Lisa Kimmel on HBO's Six Feet Under (2002–2005). Taylor's stage credits include Broadway productions of Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters (1997) and Scott McPherson's Marvin's Room (2017).
