Poppy Montgomery has found success and prominence by playing the dramatic role of FBI
agent Samantha Spade in the popular TV series "Without a Trace" (2002). Her gorgeous
image can often be found in many men's magazines.

Montgomery was born with the name Poppy Petal Donahue. She was raised in her native
Sydney, Australia. Since the age of 12 Poppy had a near obsession with cultural icon
Marilyn Monroe.

Her parents had named each of their five daughters after a flower, and after a time the
name "Poppy Petal" attracted so much derision from fellow students that she left school
at the age of 14. At 16 she left home to travel abroad, and at 18 she traveled to America.

In Los Angeles, penniless and with a copy of "How to Make it in Hollywood", Poppy adopted
her mother's maiden name as a stage name and made daily contact with Julia Roberts's
agent who told her he did not handle unknowns but arranged for her to be signed with
another agent.

After various minor roles, Montgomery got several breaks in 1996. She had guest appearances
on TV series "NYPD Blue" (1993) and "Party of Five" (1994), she got a regular part in the
TV series "Relativity" (1996), and she won a starring role in the TV movie The Cold Equations
(1996) (TV). Her career has been on an upward climb ever since.

In 2001 Montgomery won the dream role of her lifetime. CBS was looking to create a TV
mini-series based on author Joyce Carol Oates' novelization of the life of Marilyn Monroe
(the series was titled Blonde (2001) (TV)). Poppy's greatest wish was fulfilled when she
got cast as her childhood idol. When she told her family that she'd won the role, Poppy's
mother blithely commented "Well, you've been rehearsing for it your whole life."
Montgomery gained weight for the part to more closely resemble Monroe. Her portrayal
won critical claim.

In 2002 Montgomery joined the original cast of the soon-to-be-successful TV series
"Without a Trace" (2002). She has a lead role portraying FBI agent Samantha Spade.
Montgomery shared the cast's 2004 SAG Award nomination for outstanding performance
by an ensemble in a drama series.

Trivia
Poppy chose her mother's maiden name, Montgomery, as her stage name.
Arrived in Hollywood at age 18 carrying a copy of "How to Make It In Hollywood".
Five out of Poppy's nine siblings, along with herself, are named
after flowers. Enjoys board games, horseback riding, photography, sleeping,
snowboarding, traveling and yoga. Her mother, Nicola, is a market researcher
and father, Phil, a restaurateur. Her brother is named Jethro Tull. Poppy's sisters
are named Rosie Thorn, Daisy Yellow, Lily Belle and Marigold Sun - all named after
flowers Named #45 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2005 list. Step-sister of
former Australian Hockeyroo's player Claire Mitchell-Taverner

Personal quotes "When it comes to guys, make sure you are treated like a princess,
always." We have halves and steps (sisters), and they have babies. We're like rabbits.
My parents divorced each other and remarried other people and then had more kids,
so my mom actually had five children.

I only like her hair :heart:

I thought she was very bad as Marilyn,I don't why but hated her in that role

brokenenglish · Oct 27, 2006

I remember thinking she didn't look like Marilyn, but liking how she played the role.
I like her voice and her name is cute too. Poppy!

Bonchic · Oct 27, 2006

I agree.. She didn't look like Marilyn but somehow she still managed to bring her to life and make her seem more real and vulnerable ^_^
