Perrey Reeves is an American film and television actress. Born in New York City, she was raised in the countryside of New Hampshire with a family who preferred not to own a television. Her paternal grandfather was sound pioneer Hazard E. Reeves, who introduced magnetic stereophonic sound to film, and her maternal great-grandfather was Delaware U.S. Senator James H. Hughes. Reeves's educational background ranged from years abroad in France and Italy to the Ivy League colleges of the United States. Drama studies were what really interested her, resulting in her choosing an acting career.
