Few days ago I had the great pleasure to interview actress Bree Turner for Beauty Interviews. Bree has a role in an upcoming film called The Ugly Truth opposite Katherine Heigl. Here it is:

Bree Turner is an actress who began her journey in Hollywood as a professional dancer. Bree was a background dancer in such hit films as The Big Lebowski (1998), She’s All That (1999) and Mike Myers’ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). Bree’s love for performing and being on stage makes acting a natural transition. Bree Turner can be seen opposite Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler in The Ugly Truth- out July 24, 2009.

I caught up with Bree Turner via telephone from LA early in the morning, to talk about her beginnings in Hollywood, her upcoming film The Ugly Truth, future career plans and even some beauty secrets!

Marta Walsh: How did you decide on a career in acting, and what were some of your first breaks as an actress?
Bree Turner: I started out as a dancer which got me on stage. I was pretty shy as a kid so my mom decided to enroll me in a dance class, and I fell in love with being on stage and performing. I danced all through my teens and early 20’s. Dancing brought me down to Los Angeles with a dance scholarship in UCLA.
