Chloe Sevigny was catapulted to fame on the back of the seminal and controversial 1995 movie 'Kids', which won applause and acclaim for its head on discussion of racial politics, drug use and sex among young people. Having found her way into the world of celebrity via controversy, Chloe never really looked back.
Still highly active in film and television, as well as working as a fashion designer (a habit she puts down to locking herself in the bedroom and sewing when she was a child because she was bored), there's little that Chloe hasn't done. She once dated British pop star Jarvis Cocker. She performed one of the first unsimulated on-screen sex acts in the history of Western cinema. She became a director with the release of 2016's "Kitty", and she may be one of the most interesting people in the world. But to many of us, she'll always be Jennie, or Lana from "Boys Don't Cry".
