Rebecca Pidgeon

Biography

Actress/singer Rebecca Pidgeon was born in Cambridge, MA but raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, going on to study at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. In 1986 she sang on a demo recording cut by her guitarist friend Roger Fife which attracted the attention of the tiny independent label Red Flame, who immediately signed the duo to release the folk-pop effort [roviLink="MW"]Glances Askances; Pidgeon later fronted the group Ruby Blue, which in 1989 issued the LP [roviLink="MW"]Down from Above. Around that same time she made her feature film debut in [roviLink="MW"]The Dawning; she also co-starred in the London premiere of David Mamet's [roviLink="MW"]Speed-the-Plow, later becoming the acclaimed playwright's wife. Following her husband back to the U.S., Pidgeon subsequently starred in the world premiere of Mamet's [roviLink="MW"]Oleanna, and in 1991 appeared in his film [roviLink="MW"]Homicide; in 1994, she also made her solo LP debut with [roviLink="MW"]The Raven. [roviLink="MW"]The New York Girls' Club followed a year later, and in 1998 Pidgeon returned with [roviLink="MW"]Four Marys.
