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.
