Chloë Stevens Sevigny /ˈkli ˈsɛvəni/ (born November 18, 1974) is an American actress, fashion designer, director, and former . Sevigny was discovered on the street in New York City in 1992 by a magazine editor, who offered her jobs both modeling and interning at , a teen magazine aimed at girls with alternative tastes. In 1994, she attracted the attention of journalist Jay McInerney, who wrote a 7-page article about her for The New Yorker, in which he called a then 19-year-old Sevigny the "coolest girl in the world."

Sevigny made her film debut with a lead role in the controversial film (1995), written by her then-boyfriend Harmony Korine and received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for her performance. A long line of roles in generally well-received independent and often experimental films throughout the decade established Sevigny's reputation as an indie film queen. In 1999, Sevigny gained recognition outside of the independent film world for her role as Lana Tisdel in the true story , earning her Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress. Despite her brush with mainstream success, Sevigny continued acting in mostly independent art house films, such as (2000), (2003), and Dogville (2003). Her role in the art house film The Brown Bunny (2003) caused significant controversy because of a scene in which she performs unsimulated fellatio. Her films since then have included Melinda and Melinda (2004), Manderlay (2005), and (2007), the latter of which marked Sevigny's transition into a more big budget studio picture.
