Mary Helgenberger was born on 16th November 1958 in Fremont, Nebraska, USA.After making her feature debut as an all-night answering service operator in the mediocre anthology thriller "After Midnight", Helgenberger had a small role in Steven Spielberg's engaging fantasy "Always" (both 1989). But her bread-and-butter through the 90s were TV-movies and miniseries, many of which were made for the Lifetime Channel.
In Sickness and in Health" (1992) offered her the plum role of Mickey, the lusty caretaker who befriends her charge (Lesley Ann Warren) suffering from multiple sclerosis, only to betray that trust by sleeping with her husband (Tom Skerritt). Her leading role in "The Cowboy Way" (1994) offered Helgenberger some feature exposure, as did "Species" (1995) and its regrettable 1998 sequel "Species II", "My Fellow American" (1996) and "Fire Down Below" (1997), but nothing about her work in these films would erase perceptions of her as a TV actress.
Helgenberger began an association with Showtime which would include Peter Weller's "Partners" (1994, from the "Directed By" series), "Conundrum" (1996), "Elmore Leonard's Gold Coast" (1997), "Thanks of a Grateful Nation" (1998) and "Happy Face Murders" (1999). Excellent as the sex-starved widow of "Gold Coast", in which she rejoined Weller, she delivered arguably her best performance as the sister of a veteran felled by Gulf War Syndrome in the critically-acclaimed "Thanks of a Grateful Nation".
She was equally terrific in NBC's "Murder Live!" (1997) as shallow talk-show host Pia Postman and "Perfect Town, Perfect Murder" (2000), a thoughtful CBS miniseries look into the killing of JonBenet Ramsey. That year also found her in her biggest feature success to date, playing the woman whose medical condition leads Julia Roberts to uncover evidence of corporate wrongdoing in Steven Soderbergh's "Erin Brockovich". She appeared next in the critically acclaimed comedy-drama by PaulWeitz.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are having the time of their lives in Hawaii. With Theroux's 40th birthday on August 10, the couple touched down in paradise on Sunday on a trip that Aniston's Wanderlust costar originally planned with Heidi Bivens, his former longtime girlfriend.
On Monday evening, they shopped for gifts and checked out antique artifacts and jewelry for half an hour at the Lotus Gallery. "They were the only people in the store and seemed extremely relaxed and happy," a source says of the giggling pair. "Jennifer was hugging Justin from behind.When they left the store, Jennifer was massaging Justin's shoulders from behind, and he turned around and said something that made her laugh hysterically," the insider says. "They seemed giddy in love and genuinely happy together."Later that night, wrapped Buddha statue in hand, they headed to Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor's estate for Taylor's 40th birthday bash.
Jennifer hung out with Christine but never got too far from Justin. They seemed to have a good time but didn't stay too long before they headed back to their house for the night," the source adds.On Tuesday, they left their rented house in a Jeep for a lunchtime treat -- buying a roadside coconut from a local woman, according to a source. Later in the day, Theroux went for a brisk half-hour jog through the fields surrounding their posh vacation digs.

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are first romantically linked a mere two months ago. But now it seems that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are already taking their relationship to another next level.The pair have been house-hunting for a new love nest, according to People magazine.
Who are said to have been dating since May, 'are looking for a new house to move into together,' a source told the publication.Big Apple-based Justin is understood to have been staying in Aniston's recently-sold Beverly Hills abode whenever he has been in town.Real-estate savvy Jennifer sold the LA property for a whopping $38 million after buying a New York penthouse.She spent more than two years renovating the 9,000 square foot West Coast property after purchasing it in 2006 for $13.5 million.She decided to sell the property after deciding it was 'too much' for her.But while many assumed that the move meant that she would make a new home in Manhattan, looking for a new house in California, is a sign that Jennifer and Justin will now be living bi-coastal.
In the backseat of their chauffeured car, the couple couldn't hide their affection for one another when they were spotted at LAX.The giddy actress giggled like a teenager as she sat in the vehicle alongside her new beau.The sighting comes after the pair were seen glued to each other earlier in the day when they arrived at London's Heathrow Airport to catch their flight back to the U.S.While holding a black leather bag under one arm, she held on tightly to Justin with her other hand.The first sign that the pair had officially come out as a couple was when they were pictured the night before, once again holding hands as they left Shoreditch House in London, following the premiere of Jen's new movie Horrible Bosses.The new developments in the couple's relationship is a step forward from the the start of the month when Jennifer was inducted into the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Justin was front row to support his leading lady.And although she kept him hidden while she walked the red carpet at the Horrible Bosses premiere in LA, Justin was pride of place at the drinks later that night - thought there were no PDAs.
After meeting up inside the premiere, the couple spent an hour and a half at the after-party before heading to the Chateau Marmont to meet friends, including Friends co-star Courteney Cox - and then got cosy away from prying eyes.The magazine said the party enjoyed a long lunch, sharing lobster bisque, Manhattan clam chowder, a crab dish and a four pound lobster washed down with a bottle of red wine.
