Ashley Judd is one of the most popular and richest Movie Actress who was born on April 19, 1968 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Actress known for her roles in many successful films, including High Crimes, Divergent, and Insurgent. Her role in Double Jeopardy earned her a Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Actress.

In 1997, she starred in Kiss The Girls with Morgan Freeman.

Judd was born in Granada Hills, Los Angeles. She is the daughter of Naomi Judd, a country music singer and motivational speaker, and Michael Charles Ciminella, a marketing analyst for the horseracing industry.

Convinced that this role would shape the rest of her career, Judd was extremely nervous for the audition, nearly getting into a car accident en route. “From the first three sentences, I knew it was written for me”, she told the San Jose Mercury News. She received rave reviews playing Ruby Lee Gissing, a young woman trying to make a new life for herself, and it was this performance that would launch her career as an actress. Nuñez told author James L. Dickerson that the resonance of the character was Judd’s creation: “The resonance, those moments, was not contrived. It was just a matter of creating the scene and trusting that it was worth telling.”
