[edit] Biography
Her father, a British police officer, was sent to train police in Bermuda where Headey was born. The family returned to Huddersfield, West Yorkshire when she was aged 8.
Headey has appeared in Possession, Gossip, Onegin, The Remains of the Day and numerous other films. She appeared in two films with Piper Perabo: The Cave, where they played the only female characters in the film, and Imagine Me & You where they portrayed love interests.
Most recently, Lena was chosen to play Sarah Connor in the upcoming TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles. She also played Queen Gorgo in the 2007 film 300.
[edit] Personal life
She has several tattoos, including one on her right shoulder saying "Jason" in Thai (for actor Jason Flemyng). The couple met on the 1994 film "The Jungle Book" and dated until 2001. The tattoos have since been changed into butterflies, a star on the inside of each of her lower arms, and a large lotus flower on her upper back. These were all concealed during 300. She is currently engaged to actor Johnny Cicco.
