Clea Helen D'Etienne DuVall (born September 25, 1977) is an American film and television actress known for playing characters outside the mainstream.

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.

Career

DuVall's first major role came in Robert Rodriguez's 1998 take on the alien-body-snatcher genre, The Faculty (1998), which featured other up-and-coming young actors such as Elijah Wood and Josh Hartnett. DuVall played Stokely, a tough Goth girl. Similar roles came in But I'm a Cheerleader (1999) as a lesbian and Girl, Interrupted (1999) as a mental patient.

In 2004, DuVall featured in the three-hour television remake/prequel movie Helter Skelter as former Charles Manson "Family" member Linda Kasabian, who became the star witness for the prosecution in the infamous 1969 Hollywood, California Tate-LaBianca murder trial.

Recently she has appeared on the hit NBC show Heroes as FBI agent Audrey Hanson.
