Alicia Silverstone (born October 4, 1976) is an American actress and former fashion model. She first came to widespread attention in music videos for Aerosmith and later starred in Hollywood films such as Clueless and Batman & Robin.
Silverstone was born in San Francisco, California, the daughter of Deirdre “Didi” (née Radford), a Scotland-born former flight attendant who worked for Pan Am, and Monty Silverstone, an England-born real-estate investor. Silverstone was raised in a “traditional Jewish household”; her father, a native of East London, is Jewish, and her mother converted to Conservative Judaism before marriage. Silverstone is the youngest of three children and also has a half-sister, London-based rock singer Kezi Silverstone, and a half-brother, David Silverstone, both from her father’s previous marriage. Silverstone attended San Mateo High School but did not complete her high school studies. Silverstone visited England during a summer during her childhood. When she was six, she began modeling and was subsequently cast in television commercials, the first being for Domino’s Pizza. She acquired some early modeling and advertising work and was eventually cast as the ‘dream girl’ on The Wonder Years.
Silverstone married longtime boyfriend, rock musician Christopher Jarecki, in a beachfront ceremony at Lake Tahoe on June 11, 2005. The couple had dated for eight years prior to being married, after meeting outside a movie theater in 1997. They got engaged about a year before their marriage and Silverstone’s engagement ring belonged to Jarecki’s grandmother. They live in an eco-friendly Los Angeles house complete with solar panels and an organic vegetable garden. She bought the house, shared with a “menagerie of rescued dogs,” in 1996. Silverstone drives a Mercedes Benz.
