Helen Slater
Helen Rachel Slater (born December 15, 1963) is an American actress and singer-songwriter. Helen Slater was born in Massapequa, New York, the daughter of Alice Joan (née Citrin), a lawyer and nuclear disarmament peace activist based in New York City, and Gerald Slater, a television executive; the two divorced in 1974. She has a brother, David, who is a lawyer in New York City. Her family is Jewish. Slater attended the High School of Performing Arts, graduating in 1982. She married award-winning editor Robert Watzke. Their daughter, Hannah Nika, was born August 28, 1995.
She appeared in the title role in the 1984 film Supergirl. In the following years she starred in several very successful comedy-drama films such as Ruthless People, The Secret of My Success, and City Slickers. Since then she has found regular work as an actress in various film, television, and stage projects, including guest appearances on the series Smallville.
In the 2000s she recorded two albums, on which she sings her own compositions and plays the piano. She also became a spokeswoman for Preference by L’Oréal in both television and print ads. Since the late 1980s, she has worked in television and film. She made a brief guest appearance on “Seinfeld” as a love interest of Jerry Seinfeld, who in reality is a huge fan of the Superman universe. More recently, Slater was seen in a recurring role as Clark Kent’s biological mother, Lara, on the Superman-themed TV series Smallville.
Slater has been erroneously thought to be related to Christian Slater. In addition to their shared professional surname, the myth is further fueled by their portrayal of sister and brother in The Legend of Billie Jean. Additionally, the DVD of Supergirl includes a critic’s review which wrongly states Christian is her brother. Slater wrote a day in the life of Supergirl tale which appeared in the 50th issue of the Supergirl comic. Slater co-founded the New York theater group, The Naked Angels, with Gina Gershon. Her stage credits include appearances in Grease, and Shakespeare and Friends. Off-Broadway, she starred in Responsible Parties and Almost Romance. She also attended classes at both N.Y.U. and U.C.L.A., to broaden her acting abilities. -Wikipedia
