Sybil Darrow began her career as both producer and star of "Ten Benny" opposite Oscar winner, Adrien Brody, which premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival and was released in theaters in 1998.

Two years later, Sybil would star once again opposite Adrien Brody in "Restaurant", which takes an unflinching look at racial issues in a busy Hoboken Eatery.

Soon to follow was a starring role in Chris Menaul's Emmy-award winning Showtime Original Feature, "The Passion of Ayn Rand", as the doe-eyed ingénue who thwarts the celebrated author philosopher's affair with a protégé. The film, which premiered at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, also stars Helen Mirren, Peter Fonda, Julie Delpy and Eric Stolz.

Moving back to the big screen and over to studio pictures, Sybil next went on to star opposite Amanda Peet, Jerry O'Connell and Tara Reid in New Line Cinema's "Body Shots". Viewers and critics alike praised Sybil for her portrayal, which "suggests enough complexity to merit a longer story of her own." (Variety)

Returning once again to independent film in the leading role of Allison, Sybil starred opposite Jami Gertz, in the dark comedy, "Lip Service" (a.k.a. Kat and Allison).

Next, Sybil starred opposite Skeet Ulrich in the ABC series, "Miracles", which began airing in January 2003 and soon after starred in Steven Bochco's HBO series "Marriage". She can also be seen in Sony Pictures' release of "The Cavern".

And getting back to her roots of producing, Sybil wrote, produced, and starred in the short film, "Piece A' Cake", which was invited to make its world premiere at the American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles.

"Piece A' Cake" reunited Sybil with its award winning director, Dean Pollack. The two had previously worked together in Dean's debut feature film, "Show & Tell", for which Dean received the first ever, Blockbuster Independent Filmmaker Award.
