Elisha Cuthbert

My full name is Elisha Ann Cuthbert, I was born at November 30, 1982 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to Kevin and Patricia Cuthbert. We moved to Linguini, Quebec, and I grew up in Greenfield Park, near Montreal. I became fluent in French as a result of my surroundings. I began career in 1989 by modeling for various lines of children's clothing and also became a foot model. In 2000 I graduated from Centennial Regional High School and journeyed to Los Angeles, California to pursue a Hollywood acting career. My first appearance was in the television series 24 as the daughter of CTU agent Jack Bauer. While 24 has become a commercial and critical hit (it won the Best Television Series -- Drama -- Golden Globe in 2004), I also made time to appear as a mysterious one-night stand in Old School (2003) and as an American sex kitten in Love Actually (2003). The next project, The Girl Next Door (2004), in which I play a former porn star, was my first American leading role. In 2004, I also added House of Wax to my career next to Paris Hilton.
