Sevigny made her film debut with a leading role in Larry Clark’s controversial 1995 film Kids, which was the beginning of a long line of roles in critically acclaimed independent films which she starred in throughout the decade. It wasn’t until 1999 when Sevigny gained serious critical recognition for her first mainstream role as Brandon Teena’s girlfriend, Lana Tisdel, in Boys Don’t Cry. For her performance, Sevigny received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy and Golden Globe Awards that year.

Sevigny has continued acting in mostly independent, but critically acclaimed roles in art house films and has recently enjoyed success on the American television series Big Love, playing Nicki Grant, a fundamentalist Mormon woman married to a polygamist.

In addition to her work in film and television, Sevigny also has two off-Broadway theatre credits, and has starred in several music videos. Still iconic for her New York-based fashion sense, she has also continued to pursue work in the fashion industry, designing several vintage style clothing lines. Her last name, Sevigny, of French origin, is often debated over its pronounciation; it is formally pronounced seven-yay by French standards, although Sevigny herself has stated in interviews that she pronounces it as seven-knee.
