Kimberly Williams-Paisley
Kimberly Williams-Paisley (born September 14, 1971 in Rye, New York) is an American actress. She is known for her role as Annie Banks in Father of the Bride (1991) and Father of the Bride Part II (1995), with Steve Martin and Diane Keaton. She currently plays Dana in the ABC sitcom According to Jim and starred as Virginia in the NBC mini-series The 10th Kingdom.
She left Northwestern University during her sophomore year to film Father of the Bride but returned to complete her degree. While there she was a sister of the Alpha Phi sorority.
Williams-Paisley married country star Brad Paisley on March 15, 2003. She then took on her husband's name to differentiate herself from brunette Playboy model Kimberly Williams. They live in Franklin, Tennessee. On September 20, 2006, it was reported that the couple were expecting their first child in February 2007. [1]
She has a sister actress Ashley Williams & brother Jay Williams.
Williams-Paisley claims her best beauty secret is waxing and plucking. During college, she began eliminating a unibrow, something she still deals with to this day.
Brad Paisley has stated that Kim was the basis for his 2004 hit Little Moments. [2] Specifically the opening part, which reads as follows:
"Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard that pretty mouth say that dirty word. And I can't even remember now, what she backed my truck into. But she covered her mouth and her face got red and she just looked so darn cute. That I couldn't even act like I was mad- Yeah I live for little moments like that."
The two events were taken right from the first time Brad heard her swear and how she started to blush when he found a dent in his truck. Kim even appeared in the music video for the song.
