Known for her raspy voice and quirky sensibilities, Lili Taylor was born in Glencoe, Ill., on Feb. 2, 1967, and solidified her reputation as a relatable character actress with memorable "best-friend" roles in Mystic Pizza (1988) and Say Anything (1989).But mainstream leading-lady status tended to elude her, so she opted instead for offbeat, independent-minded fare, most notably with a standout performance as a would-be feminist assassin in I Shot Andy Warhol (1996), which earned her special notice at the Sundance Film Festival.
