Meet the Enigmatic Gaby Hoffmann, You'll Love Her!

We would like to familiarize you with a rather enigmatic young starlet by the name of Gaby Hoffmann; you will be seeing a lot more of her very soon. Not only is she the star of Crystal Fairy, a new Sundance acclaimed film by Sebastian Silva (released on July 12th,2013), but she will  be featured in the highly anticipated Veronica Mars movie scheduled for release in 2014.http://youtu.be/E7nInvUzAI8While most of you are likely hearing Hoffmann’s name for the first time, she has been steadily involved in the film industry for the better part of the last two decades. She was born in New York City to Viva, an actress and writer who appeared in a number of Andy Warhol films throughout the 1960’s, and Anthony Herrera, a cast member of the long running soap opera As The World Turns.http://youtu.be/qG9q6N5i4dEShe spend a large portion of her youth (till 1993) at Hotel Chelsea, a cultural landmark that was synonymous with a drug den catering to high profile musicians, writers and famous drifters. Her mother even co-authored a children’s book called Gaby at the Chelsea commemorating those experiences. Interestingly enough, Crystal Fairy, which also starts Michael Cera and three of the Silva brothers, is not that farfetched from what she has personally witnessed at the iconic hotel.hotelActing since age four, Gaby learned a lot about the industry from her parents, neighbors, and of course, her own experiences. Playing a highly eccentric radical spirit that accompanies a group of traveling young men on a quest to find a fabled hallucinogen in Chile, Hoffmann dazzles with her remarkable nativity and parallel wisdom. She is blessed with a remarkable knack for subtle but appealing truthfulness, as she doesn’t fit any standard mold of what a young Hollywood actress should be like. Unique, charismatic and supremely talented, we anticipate great things from her in the future.gabyImage : Hotel - Wiki Commons, Gaby - dailymail.co.uk
