Biography
Early life
DuVall was born in Los Angeles, California to Stephen DuVall and Rosemary Hatch. Her parents divorced when she was twelve, and, when her mother remarried, DuVall moved out[1] because she did not feel at home in the newly structured family unit, dropping out of high school and getting her own apartment. She sought entertainment in movies and television programs, memorizing entire scenes. Though a rather shy person, DuVall decided she wanted to be an actress, and returned to high school, this time the Los Angeles County High School of the Arts, while working to support herself.

Goth girl. Similar roles came in
