After attending Edmonds-Woodway High School in Edmonds, WA, she studied English Literature at the University of Washington and lived in London for awhile.

Her first significant film role was in the independent production Lovers Lane ( 1999 ). Her "breakout" role was the horror film parody Scary Movie ( 2000 ).

Faris stands 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m) in height . She is a natural blonde but had to dye her hair black for the filming of Scary Movie leading to the misconception she is a brunette . As of 2004 , she is married to actor Ben Indra , whom she met while working on Lovers Lane and had dated since 1999.
