Already a favorite among science-fiction
fans, Dina Meyer came to The WB as Barbara Gordon and her
alter-ego, Oracle, in the action-adventure series Birds
of Prey. Dina most recently starred in FOX's
supernatural drama Point Pleasant.
Born and raised in Queens, N.Y., Dina studied dance throughout
her childhood and loved performing on stage in dance recitals.
She knew she wanted to act from an early age and was even
accepted into New York's High School of Performing Arts,
but her parents convinced her to follow a more traditional
academic path. She majored in Business Administration and
minored in French at Long Island University and attended
the Sorbonne in Paris. After graduation, however, she decided
to pursue her acting again and studied under Ron Stetson.
Dina made her film debut opposite Keanu Reeves in the action-thriller
Johnny Mnemonic. She went on to star with Dennis
Quaid in the feature film Dragonheart. Additional
film credits include a starring role in Starship Troopers
and Bats. Dina can also be seen in Star Trek:
Nemesis as the Romulan Commander Donatra.
Television fans will recognize Dina from her role on the
Aaron Spelling phenomenon Beverly Hills, 90210, where
she played the adulterous professor Lucinda Nicholson, who
had a torrid affair with Jason Priestley's character, the
role that brought her to Los Angeles. She also had a three-episode
arc on Friends as Joey's love interest. Other television
credits include Ally McBeal, Michael Hayes and, most
recently, the critically acclaimed Golden Globe Award-winning
series Six Feet Under.
Dina currently resides in Santa Monica. A fitness enthusiast,
she enjoys rollerblading, snowboarding and doing Pilates.
