The star of the WB drama Felicity, former teen queen Keri Russell is now a B-list movie star and Brooklyn fixture.

Getting her start at age 15 on The Mickey Mouse Club, she is best known for her Golden Globe winning role as Felicity Porter on the eponymous WB series from 1998-2002. Felicity, created by J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, was a critical and ratings success for the WB. The show followed the storyline of the title character's collegiate experience and romantic entanglements at fictional University of New York. Unfortunately, it was majorly Samson'd in its second season when Russell chopped off her signature curly locks, and instead sported a cropped boyish hairdo. Ratings plummeted.

After Felicity, Russell took a break from Hollywood and moved to New York where she did theater and made smaller television appearances. She has had movie roles in Mission Impossible III, Waitress, and August Rush. Her Indie comedy-drama Waitress was released in 2007 at Sundance Film Festival, and her performance in the film received favorable critical reviews.

Russell is a mother of two: son River Russell Deary (born 2007), and daughter Willa Lou (born 2011). She is married to carpenter Shane Deary, and lives in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
