  Parker Posey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Posey's first name was a tribute by her father to 1950s supermodel Suzy Parker.
Posey's first break was in television, when she won the role of Tess Shelby on the daytime soap opera As the World Turns.
Posey appeared in the television miniseries adaptations of the Armistead Maupin Tales of the City books; her character, Connie, was featured in the original 1993 series and the 1998 miniseries "sequel" covering the second book.

 Heavenly Celebrities: Parker Posey
Posey's work over the next two years reads like a Sundance Film Festival program: in 1996, she could be seen as a Dairy Queen waitress in the ensemble-driven Waiting for Guffman, famed gallery owner Mary Boone in Basquiat, and Hope Davis' sister in The Daytrippers.
By this point, Posey had gained quite a reputation for her effortless transitions between indies and blockbusters, and a role as a malicious recording industry boss in Josie and the Pussycats (2001) added much flavor to the energetic, pop-flavored comedy.
If Posey was somewhat lost in the cast of the 2001 miniseries Further Tales of the City, she would certainly go on to impress in the popular indies The Anniversary Party (2001) and Personal Velocity: Three Portraits (2002).

 Fametracker :: The Fame Audit :: Parker Posey
It's almost like "Ask the Critic" keeps catching Gleiberman in the midst of a Fame Audit he's administering to Posey, in which he finds her always less famous than he thinks she should be, so he's forever giving her suggestions as to how to raise her profile.
Posey has also appeared in a respectable number of projects of interest to the gays: The Event, a recurring role on Will & Grace, and Tales, More Tales, and Further Tales Of The City.
And it's fine with us if that isn't her goal, anyway: we already have a Catherine Keener, and if Posey got so big that she couldn't be in Christopher Guest movies anymore, we'd all be the poorer for it.
