Since the head of the family was in military service, the family constantly moved, every year Liz studied at a new school. Despite their nomadic lifestyle, Roy Leonard and Angela Hurley managed to raise and raise three children.
Mom Liz, noticing that her thin daughter is growing poorly (this is now Hurley's height - 173 cm) and is not gaining weight, did not rush to famous doctors and did not try to fatten the baby. On the contrary, she firmly decided that Elizabeth should become a ballerina, and sent her to a dance studio.
The father managed to cultivate willpower in his daughter, she was used to not giving up and achieving her goal. Elizabeth's first such goal was the London Studio Center, a prestigious dance and acting school where she studied for several years.
Work
Elizabeth Hurley dreamed of a theatrical stage, but gained fame through the film industry. The beginning of her career is associated with work in the theater and on television, and the first film debut took place when the girl was 22 years old.
She was noticed by producer Don Boyd and invited to star in the film musical "Aria". The tape consisted of 10 short stories created by different directors based on opera masterpieces. Hurley got the role of Marietta in the novel based on the opera "The Dead City", with which she coped brilliantly.
After that, the career of an actress went uphill, the girl was noticed and appreciated by critics. For several years, Elizabeth starred in a number of films, playing supporting roles. His Hollywood debut was the 1992 film Passenger 57, where Hurley played the role of Sabrina. Despite the success of the film, there were no offers from Hollywood directors, and the girl decided to try her luck at home, in England.
Despite everything, Elizabeth did not doubt her talent and success. She organized a film company in her native England, and soon offers to shoot again fell on her. The actress continues to act today, albeit with a break (being married to an Indian millionaire from 2007 to 2011, she almost never appeared on the screens).
The most popular films in which Hurley played, which brought her fame and worldwide success, were very diverse. The talent of the actress allows her to take on roles that are opposite in nature. For example, Elizabeth starred as the spy girl Austin Powers (Mike Myers) in the 1997 film Austin Powers: The Legendary Man.
In 1998, with the participation of Elizabeth in the role of the heroine Sandra, the picture Eternal Midnight was released.

Unfortunately, having "matured", Grant became burdened by the care and friendship of his beloved, and the couple broke up.
The reason that the family and personal life of the acting couple did not work out was Liz's passionate desire to have children. Perhaps the rampant use of hormonal drugs in her youth affected, and Elizabeth could not get pregnant.
When the long-awaited son was born in 2002, his father was not handsome Hugh, but the actress's new boyfriend, Steve Bing. The father at first denied kinship with the boy, but the DNA test put everything in its place. Hugh, to his credit, supported his ex-girlfriend all this time and even wanted to adopt a child, but eventually the celebrity couple broke up.
