Fairuza Balk (born May 21, 1974) That smile, those eyes. Fairuza (Turquoise in Farsi) began her career as Dorothy Gale in the unofficial sequel to Wizard of Oz – 1985’s Return to Oz. She became a teenage Satan worshipper in The Craft, a cat-thing in The Island of Dr. Moreau w/ Marlon Brando, an Academy Award nominated skin head in American History X, a groupie in Almost Famous and a bad girl to Adam Sandler’s simpleton in The Waterboy (among many others) Wildly different roles, great co-stars and what appears to be a simple non-Hollywood like life, Fairuza continues to act and do voice work for cartoons and video games … and she still has that smile.
