Her most recent role, as the self-involved PR rep you’ll love to
hate in Final Destination II was yet another change
of tack for this actress who revels in being allowed
to play such diverse roles. You’ll be able
to catch her smart-ass antics in the horror film
follow-up to
the sleeper hit Final Destination when it is released in
January of 2003.You can also see Keegans’s sexier
side as Josh Hartnett’s vixen co-worker in the
2001 hit 40 Days and 40 nights. In one memorable scene,
Keegan wowed audiences with her intense desire to ‘win
back the power’ in the quest to put a stop to
Matt’s (Hartnett) vow of 40 days (and nights)
of celibacy. 40 Days was directed by Michael Lehman
(Heathers) and was released by Miramax and Working Title
Films.
Rounding out her film roster are
other credits including the road-trip comedy Duets,
starring Gwyneth Paltrow and directed by her late father,
Bruce Paltrow. Duets, a cross-country karaoke adventure
found Keegan playing Sheila, a New Mexico karaoke queen
who becomes the catalyst for salesman Todd’s (Paul
Giamatti) reluctant entrance in to the wacky workd of
karaoke. Along with Beggars and Choosers, her television
credits include guest-star roles on the series Dark
Angel; Millennium; the Francis Ford Coppola produced
First Wave; Seven Days; VH1’s Back in Black opposite
Eric Roberts and E! Entertainment’s Hollywood
Off-Ramp.
When she’s not delving into
her inner life to find junkies and thieves, Keegan -
who holds a BA in psychology - has other creative outlets
besides acting. In addition to writing feature film
scripts and a television pilot, her production company
Drama Queen Inc. is working on a documentary film called
“Babachi” about one woman’s courageous
life after being shot and paralyzed in small town Ontario
in the 1940’s. She is also working on a bath line,
aptly called ‘keegolicious’ and is hoping
to get her own jewelry line off the ground in 2003.
She has a website that you can visit for more information
at www.keeganconnortracy.com. Sounds like this actress
truly is too busy to know that she’s on her way
to the top.
