Allison Dubois ~ Patricia Arquette

Patricia Arquette was born on April 8, 1968 in Chicago, Illinois.  She stands 5'1", and is probably one of the best kept secrets in Hollywood.  Although part of an acting family, spanning generations, and dispite the fact she's mastered a slew of roles ranging from the dramatic to horrific to comedic and back again, Patricia has never achieved the level of recognition she really deserves.  Her family business would easily be considered show business, since so many of her immediate family members are [or were] actors, starting with her grandfather, Cliff Arquette, to her father Lewis, and all four of her siblings: Rosanna, David, Alexis and Richmond,  Her connections by marriage are also 'in the business' - brother David is married to actress Courtney Cox, and Patricia was married to actor Nicholas Cage [who is himself a member of the Coppola family].  Patricia has a son, Enzo, born in 1989, from a relationship with actor Paul Rossi, and is married to actor Thomas Jane, with whom she has a daughter, Harlow, born in 2003.  Enzo is following in the family tradition, and has appeared in several films himself. Patricia's acting career started when she was 18.  She started to get attention in 1987, after a starring role in her second film, A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.  Since then, she's appeared in just a handful of television series, but in well over 30 films, both feature and television, including Wildflower [for which she won a CableACE award, in 1991], Ethan Frome, True Romance, Ed Wood, Stigmata, Bringing Out the Dead, Holes, and the upcoming The Science of Sleep and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. Patricia won an Emmy Award  for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series for Medium in 2005.

Allison Dubois is the mother of three little girls, and wife of Joe, an aerospace engineer. They have a happy, somewhat suburban, life.  Allison was studying law, but discovers that she's not cut out to be a lawyer ~ she tends to know for sure when people are telling lies or the truth.  In fact, Allison is able to 'read' people, has dreams of past and future occurences, and visions of dead people. She's been having these types of experiences since childhood, but has resisted acknowledging it. Allison can see the future, and know the past, and is struggling with this 'gift'. In working for the district attorney, who has found Allison's psychic ability is usually an invaluable aid to him, she's found a place to use her gift well.
