Elisha
Ann Cuthbert (born November 30, 1982, in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada) is a Canadian actress and former foot model.
Her career began in 1989 at age of 7 by becoming a model.
She grew up in Montreal, Quebec, and later moved to
Los Angeles, California, at the age of 17. She is most
famous for her role in the hit TV show 24 and in the
movie The Girl Next Door (2004). She is currently engaged
to Trace Ayala, friend and personal assistant of Justin
Timberlake.
Elisha has known since she was a teen
reporting on Popular Mechanics for Kids what it was
she wanted to do. Acting has been something she has
doggedly pursued and constantly moved forward with.
When she landed the reporters gig with PMFK she had
already starred in a feature film called Dancing on
the Moon. Her work with PMFK would bring her to the
attention of Hillary Clinton and as a result she was
invited to Washington to meet with the first lady.
However, all of this doesn't mean
she hadn't already spent years working in the public
eye. She landed her first modeling gig at the age
of seven and was constantly working and auditioning
by the time Popular Mechanics for Kids came along.
A second series, Are You Afraid of the Dark? followed
which she managed to turn into a third series with
the successful FOX show 24 where she plays Kiefer
Sutherland's daughter. Now having conquered television
it seems that Cuthbert has bigger fish to fry, Hollywood.
With 24 opening new doors for Cuthbert
she landed a very vampy teen role in the comedy Old
School, along with a brief appearance in the romantic
comedy Love, Actually. Her latest effort, The Girl
Next Door has Elisha taking the lead role for the
first time. In it she plays Danielle, an ex-porn star
who becomes the object of affection to a lonely suburban
boy living next door who is completely oblivious as
to her previous profession.
