Sexy Hollywood actress Rachel Weisz and her husband, American film director Darren Aronofsky are expecting their first child to be born next summer.

Raised by a psychotherapist mother and an inventor father, Rachel Weisz dabbled in modeling and acting as a teen.  But while performing with Talking Tongues, a student theater troupe she founded while studying at Cambridge University, she discovered her acting ambitions. ''My dream was to go touring around the world and be a little traveling circus,'' says Weisz. ''Running around with fliers  trying to get people to come see our shows — those were the best, best times of my life.''


Following graduation, the actress turned to stage work on London's West End and had roles on U.K. television before easing into film, making her U.S. debut as Liv Tyler's nemesis in Bernardo Bertolucci's 1996 film Stealing Beauty. A cornucopia of roles followed, ranging from historical epics (Sunshine, Enemy at the Gates) to epic flops (the Jack Black-Ben Stiller comedy Envy) to a recent string of dramas in which she played tough-talking Americans, including a twisted Henry Higgins-type ''sculptor'' in Neil LaBute's The Shape of Things(!!!).

Weisz's next film, The Fountain, is set in 16th-century Spain, the resent day, and deep space 500 years in the future, and looks to be anything but dull. Due out sometime next year, the sci-fi epic is a meditation on ''life, death, the metaphysics of love — and addresses what we choose to do with our brief time on earth,'' explains Weisz, before pausing. ''I don't know if Darren would agree with that.'' Darren, of course, is Fountain director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream), who also happens to be Weisz's fiancé.
