Was her high school's valedictorian.

Modeled for the prestigious Elite agency as a teenager but was considered too short for fashion runway work.

Starred in two films in March 2009 that were back to back openings and USA box office kings. Watchmen : Les Gardiens (2009) opened March 6th, 2009, and was the number one film of the weekend. La montagne ensorcelée (2009) opened March 13th, 2009, and was the number one film of that weekend.

I'm a sensualist. My two main indulgences are dark chocolate and massages.

When my friends have a health concern, they call me. I've always been a vitamin taker. I also take digestive enzymes and antioxidants, and supplements that help with the thyroid and adrenals for my time-zone changes.

When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.
