Jessica Capshaw and Kate Capshaw

Kate Capshaw is the wife of big-time movie director Steven Spielberg, but she is also a successful actress in her own right. She has one daughter from a previous marriage and much like her, Jessica Capshaw is also beginning to establish herself in the industry. Before she entered the business, however, Jessica received her degree from one of the best schools in the country. Only then was she able to really focus her effort toward building her acting resume.

From small roles, she worked her way up—not once relying on the influence that her parents have on the industry. You might know her best for her role as Arizona Robbins on the TV show Grey’s Anatomy. We don’t doubt that she’s got a pretty bright future as an actress, though it seems that Jessica is in no rush to make it big. For now, we’re curious as to what project she’ll appear in next.
