More Pictures LizaWeil stars as the brainy Paris Geller on "Gilmore Girls." Although she was born in New Jersey, Weil spent much of her childhood traveling throughout Europe with her parents, who had their own comedy troupe.
Weil is a natural brunette, and had this hair color through at least 2000; it is believed she was told to dye it dark blonde for her Gilmore Girls role to contrast with Bledel/Rory's brown hair.
Liza's real-life friend Emily Bergl, known more for her starring role in The Rage: Carrie 2, appeared on the show several times as Paris' antagonist in student government and a leader of a school sorority, Francine Jarvis.
When Weil was 12, her family settled in Pennsylvania, and her mother began taking her to New York for auditions.
Weil landed the lead in the coming-of-age drama and made her film debut.
After shooting Stir of Echoes, Weil moved to Los Angeles, landing memorable guest-starring appearances in ER, as the wife of a murderous schizophrenic patient, and The West Wing as an intern responsible for leaking a White House staffer's drug and alcohol problem.
An angry emailer claiming to be Liza's sister insists, for example, that Liza was not born January 4, 1980 in Los Angeles (as posted at IMDB.com), but June 5, 1978 in New Jersey.
While its true that the old Paris was little more than a short-term, throw-away nemesis caricature, Liza played her with such aplomb that the character was kept and allowed to evolve into one of the most interesting people on the show.
LizaWeil's second time around in high school couldn't be more different from her first.

Before that role, her first film was the short A Cure For Serpents, where she played the daughter of a mysophobic woman bringing to her home a boyfriend who wasn't as obsessive with cleanliness, and how the mother deals with that.
At present, Weil resides in Santa Monica and is a film and movie buff.
