Rebecca Pidgeon : The Raven
12" Vinyl Album : Chesky Records 1994 #JR115

Rebecca Pidgeon was born in 1965 to English parents in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her family moved to Edinburgh, Scotland in 1970. Growing up in Edinburgh, she was a teenage friend of singer Shirley Manson. Pidgeon attended drama college and graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. After some promising work as an actress in the United Kingdom, she moved to the United States. From 1986 to 1990, Pidgeon was the lead singer of the British folk/pop band Ruby Blue. Pidgeon left Ruby Blue, shortly after the band had signed a major record label and was beginning to gather both commercial and critical success. She appeared in her first feature film in 1988, The Dawning. She then decided to concentrate on her acting career, starring in David Mamet's plays and films, initially in the movie Homicide, then in the play Oleanna, a part written for her. Pidgeon composed the music for the film version which starred Debra Eisenstadt in her role. Returning to music in 1994, she released the solo album The Raven, followed by New York Girls' Club. A further album, The Four Marys, a collection of traditional Celtic folk songs, followed in 1998. In October 2005, she released Tough on Crime, which featured Walter Becker on guitar and the late Billy Preston on keyboards. Her most recent album, Behind the Velvet Curtain: Songs from the Motion Picture Redbelt, includes a cover version of the Beach Boys song, "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" and a duet with Luciana Souza. Pidgeon has had starring roles in several of Mamet's films, including The Spanish Prisoner, The Winslow Boy and Heist. She appeared in the U.S. television series The Unit, playing Charlotte Ryan. She had a small role in the 2008 movie Redbelt written and directed by Mamet, and also performed the music in it. She also had a role opposite Tom Selleck in the CBS TV movie "Sea of Change"  where she played the role of "Leeann Lewis", a murder-bank robbery suspect. Pidgeon had met American writer/director David Mamet while acting in his play Speed-the-Plow during its run at The National Theatre in London. Though he was married at the time to actress Lindsay Crouse, Mamet began a relationship with Pidgeon. In 1990, Mamet divorced Crouse and he married Pidgeon in 1991. (web bio)
