Elisha Cutbert

For most moviegoers, Elisha Cuthbert is more like Kim Bauer, the daughter of actor Kiefer Sutherland in the award-winning series 24 . The blonde actress is a real headache for her father, an anti-terrorist agent who is forced to save her over and over again from all kinds of dangers. This series, which began airing in 2001, has kept Cuthbert’s ‘status’ of popularity intact for almost a decade, although it is true that she still has to shoot that movie or movies for which every actress who Precie has to be remembered in the future.

Elisha Ann Cuthbert was born in Calgary (Canada) on November 30, 1982. She is the daughter of Kevin and Patricia, and has two younger brothers Jonathan and Lee-Ann. From a very young age, Elisha was very pretty, ideal to make her first steps as a child model, an occupation that the girl developed from the age of seven. Soon the family moved to Montreal, in Quebec and when she was 14 years old, Elisha made the leap to the movies.

During the first years in the world of acting, he shot several family films, generally quite cheap. Her debut was the coming-of-age film Dancing on the Moon (1997), a family-friendly dramatic comedy about a young woman who has to leave childhood and enter adolescence. That film was followed in 1998 by the expendable thriller Airspeed and the friendly and familiar Nico, the Unicorn , alongside actress Anne Archer . The following year she appears in Who Gets the House? , where Elisha plays the daughter of a marriage that is about to get divorced, and that same year the young actress stars in the science fiction adventure comedy Time at the Top, in which she plays a girl who travels to the past in the elevator of her house. In 2000 she made her first foray into the horror genre (although it is true that she has a significant family burden) in the movie Believe , and later she works on the family telefilm Mail to the Chief . In 2001, she stars in one of her best films, the family drama Lucky Girl , thanks to which she won a Gemini Award for Best Performance. Until then, all the films she had worked on were Canadian productions or co-productions. And then, when the blonde actress was not yet 18 years old, she moved to Los Angeles to try her luck in Hollywood.

Elisha was clear that this was an adventure, but she was not willing to waste time either, so she gave herself a six-week deadline to land a worthwhile role. And right at the limit, at the end of the fifth week, that role arrived… And it would also be her job that would change her life, because at that time Fox was preparing a criminal series whose episodes would take place in real time. It was, of course, 24 , and Elisha was chosen to play the protagonist’s daughter. From that moment, for ten years, the actress has participated in half of the episodes of the series. Although she had some failures – like losing the role of Mary Jane in Spider-Man , in favor of Kirsten Dunst–, the truth is that his career began to take off since then and roles with greater impact began to arrive, although not for that reason of greater cinematographic quality. She was thus chosen in 2003 for a supporting role in the expendable and brainless comedy Those University Sprees . The filmmakers began to see that Elisha was perfect for showing off her palms and so they offered her a leading role that would be the actress’s greatest success, that of Danielle from The Neighbor Next Door (2004). The film was little more than a continuous hormonal claim, although with a certain romantic tone in the background. Later, the sleek beauty of her found gold at the box office as the “cannonball girl in distress” in various generally rather limp horror films, such asHouse of Wax (2005), directed with talent by the Spanish Jaume Collet-Serra , the dark thriller El silencio (2005) , the terrifying but failed plot Captivity (2007) or the weird It seemed like a quiet man (2007), disturbing story starring Christian Slater . In recent times, the beautiful actress has continued to combine her appearances in 24 with other kinder film works, such as the romantic My Sassy Girl (2008) or the comedy The Six Wives of Henry Lefay (2009).
