Ashley Judd was born on April 19, 1968 in Los Angeles. She considers her birthplace of California as "an accident." She proudly notes that she is an "eighth-generation Kentuckian."

Ashley Judd began life on the move, literally attended 12 schools in 13 years, living at times in Kentucky back-woods surroundings with her single mother and sister. She turned to reading and the rest of her family, Naomi and Wynonna, turned to singing.

By the end of the 1990s, Judd had managed to achieve significant fame and success as a leading actress, after leading roles in several thrillers that performed well at the box office, including Kiss the Girls in 1997 and 1999's Double Jeopardy. Several of her early 2000s films, including 2001's Someone Like You and 2002's High Crimes, received only mixed reviews and moderate box office success; although, she did receive positive recognition, and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress, for her performance in the 2004 biography of Cole Porter, De-Lovely, opposite Kevin Kline.
