A former child star whose flame continued to burn bright
into her teen years, blonde beauty Elisha Cuthbert has successfully
carried the success from Popular Mechanics for Kids and Are
You Afraid of the Dark? into a featured role on the hit FOX
series 24 and a successful film career. A Calgary native who
landed her first modeling job at the tender age of seven, it
was a mere four years later that Cuthbert instinctively knew
that she wanted to spend the rest of her days in front of the
lens. Following an appearance in the 1997 feature Dancing on
the Moon, Cuthbert landed a job as a field correspondent for
the acclaimed Canadian television series Popular Mechanics for
Kids, and her reporting proved so effective that she caught
the attention of first lady Hillary Clinton, who invited Cuthbert
to Washington for a meeting. Though she spent the majority of
her youth in Montreal, Cuthbert moved to Los Angeles at age
17 in order to pursue an acting career. Featured roles as a
reluctant pilot in Airspeed (1998) and a time traveling teen
in Time at the Top (1999) were soon to follow, and by the time
Cuthbert joined the cast of Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of
the Dark? in 1999, it was obvious that her talent was growing.
Her role in the made-for-Canadian-television feature Lucky Girl
only furthered her reputation as a dramatically capable rising
starlet, and her distinct onscreen facial expressions and convincing
performance soon caught the eyes of producers who were preparing
a new thriller series for FOX. Cast as Jack Bauer's (Kiefer
Sutherland) damsel-in-distress daughter, Kimberly, in the breakout
hit 24, Cuthbert's character suffered through multiple kidnappings
and a mountain lion attack over the course of the series' first
two seasons. In the episode of 24 in which she shared a scene
with the mountain lion, Cuthbert made news when the beast actually
attacked her on the film set, sending the frightened actress
on a trip to the hospital with an injured hand. On the heels
of 24, Cuthbert took a supporting role in the comedy Old School
before appearing in the subsequent romantic comedies Love Actually
(2003) and The Girl Next Door (2004), the latter of which found
her taking the lead as an ex-porn star who becomes the object
of affection to a lonely suburban boy unaware of her past.
