Rayburn
For this uninhibited starlet, The Terminal is just
the beginning
Nicole Rayburn knows
full well what five little words-"a film by Steven Spielberg"-can mean
for an actress's resume, so she's trying to keep an even keel about her
role as a watch salesgirl in the Hollywood heavyweight's next movie, The
Terminal. She even gets to snub Tom Hanks, who plays an airport stranded
foreigner applying for a job. "I'm like, 'Dude, you don't even have
a Social Security number,'" says the 27-year-old Florida native.
It's certainly a switch from her debut in the Jackass-like reality flick
Bar Fighter, in which
"Sometimes it's more comforting and nurturing
to be with a girl."
she instigates actual bar brawls. "I'm very levelheaded now, but oh,
did I have spunk in me for a while," she says. "I'm definitely a
lover, not a fighter." Even so, it's back to the dive bars in the
upcoming pool-hall comedy Kisses & Caroms, in which her bisexual billiards-shark
character doesn't seem much of a stretch. "I really love chicks,"
she says. "Sometimes it's more comforting and nurturing to be with
a girl. One lucky boyfriend did get to have threesomes with me."
Instead of regretting those dalliances, Nicole simply wishes she'd jumped
into showbiz at an earlier age. "I sometimes get frustrated that
things aren't moving fast enough," she says. "Then I think of how
many actresses never even get that first role, so I know everything's moving
on its own course." |
