Fairuza Balk

Actress · Since 1985
Fairuza Balk is an American actress of intense gaze and somewhat unsettling magnetism, revealed as a child as Dorothy in 'Return to Oz', Disney's sequel to the classic. As an adult she became a teen icon of the nineties as the rebellious witch Nancy in 'The Craft', a role that defined her dark aura. She broadened her register in titles like 'American History X', the comedy 'The Waterboy', and Cameron Crowe's acclaimed 'Almost Famous'. She also ventured into independent cinema with 'Personal Velocity'. Her strength is an electric temperament and a wild streak that keeps her away from conventional roles.
