Ginnifer Goodwin stars in "Big Love" on HBO as Margene Heffman. She is the youngest and third of three wives in a modern-day polygamist family, with Bill Paxton as the patriarch, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Chloë Sevigny as wives one and two, respectively. Goodwin also stars in the romantic comedy "Something Borrowed," opposite Kate Hudson, and "Ramona and Beezus," opposite Selena Gomez, as Aunt Bea.

Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Goodwin quickly found a home in Hollywood. She shined as Johnny Cash's first wife in the Oscar-nominated biopic "Walk the Line," opposite Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. She was seen in the ensemble comedy "He's Just Not that Into You," based on the best-selling book by Greg Behrendt, with Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore, and in Tom Ford's directorial debut, "A Single Man," starring Julianne Moore and Colin Firth.

Goodwin's breakthrough role was in her first feature film: Mike Newell's "Mona Lisa Smile," starring alongside Julia Roberts, Marcia Gay Harden and Kirsten Dunst. Soon after, she starred in Robert Luketic's romantic comedy, "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton," opposite Kate Bosworth, Topher Grace and Josh Duhamel. She had a small cameo in Jon Kasdan's "In the Land of Women." Goodwin appeared in the independent project "Day Zero" with Chris Klein and Elijah Woods; and in the indie comedy "Birds of America," starring Mathew Perry and Hillary Swank, which premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.



Goodwin is classically trained in English theater. She studied at Stratford-Upon-Avon's Shakespeare Institute, in conjunction with the Royal Shakespeare Company. She also earned an "Acting Shakespeare Certificate" at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where she played Joan of Arc, Ophelia and Jessica in "The Merchant of Venice." A few years later, Goodwin attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. At Boston University, Goodwin performed at the Huntington Theatre, in productions such as Dead End, with Broadway director Nicholas Martin. Subsequently, Goodwin was awarded with the Excellence in Acting: Professional Promise Award by The Bette Davis Foundation, and graduated with honors. After graduation, she got a small role on "Law & Order." Then, at the top of its second season, NBC's "Ed" welcomed Goodwin as a regular. She also starred in Comedy Central's collaboration with Tribeca Films: "Porn N Chicken."

Goodwin currently resides in Los Angeles.
