Date of Birth: January
8, 1982
I got this information last year and cannot
remember where from. If this is a direct copy of what you have on
your web site then please let me know as I know it was from some
other Gaby site.
Family:
- Gaby began acting in commercials at 4 to
help pay the family bills but got tired of the work and quit. At 6,
she got back into the business and made her first film - 1989's Field
of Dreams.
- Until the summer of 1993, Gaby had lived
her entire life with her mother and Alexandra at New York's notorious
Chelsea Hotel. Viva and Gaby left in July after a longtime dispute
with the management, but the hotel ended up featuring prominently in
Gaby's future. Someone Like Me was hatched after one of the
show's producers, Gail Berman, read a New York Times article about
the Chelsea that mentioned a children's book that Viva and friend
Jane Lancellotti wrote titled Gaby at the Chelsea (a takeoff on the
classic Eloise).
- Now that she and her mother are ensconced
with their two Eskimo dogs in a two-bedroom rental house in Woodland
Hills which was badly damaged in the January 1994 earthquake, Gaby
says she misses her former home, where she and her best friend, Talya
Shomron, would roller-skate in the hallways, spy on the drug dealer
across the hall, and dispatch the bellman to fetch ice cream at night
from the neighborhood deli.
- Gaby has had well-received supporting roles
in The Man Without a Face , This Is My Life, Uncle Buck,
Field of Dreams, and Sleepless in Seattle. Gaby loved
working with Nora Ephron, who directed This Is My Life and Sleepless
in Seattle, as well as with costars Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, and
the late John Candy, but she found Kevin Costner "bossy."
