Rebecca Romijn was born on November 6, 1972, in Berkeley, California. Her father was Dutch-born and worked as a custom furniture maker; her mother was American-born, of Dutch descent, and was an English teacher. Rebecca attended Berkeley High School. Then she attended the University of California at Santa Cruz where she majored in Music, but left in 1995. I moved to Paris, got a cover of French Elle, and stayed for two and a half years." This tall (5' 10") blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty was a natural for modeling, and has posed for Sports Illustrated, Christian Dior, Victoria's Secret, to name but a few. Rebecca's most famous movie role so far was as the shape-shifting "Mystique" in X-Men, based on the long-running comic book series about teenage mutant superheroes. To play Mystique, every day Rebecca had to start out nude, and then 2 female makeup artists would apply blue body paint, and other stick-on parts, for 8 hours a day. "X-Men" was a box-office bonanza, and Rebecca's future in films was assured.
