Career[]
In her youth, Hinkle pursued her dream of being a professional ballerina. However, an ankle injury at the age of 16 stopped these plans from becoming reality.[1]
So, after she graduated from Brown University, she turned to a career in acting and started taking acting and theater classes at NYU (New York University), though she claims to have been rather bad in lessons.[1]
Her actual acting career began to accelerate in the 90's. Hinkle first succeeded in theater plays presented in Washington DC and on Broadway, portraying "Juliet" in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in 1994 and "Miranda" in The Tempest in 1995. Hinkle started her TV-career in that year as well, as she became part of the cast of the soap opera's Another World.[2]
