Elisha Cuthbert was born on November 30, 1982 in Calgary, Albert, Canada as Elisha Ann Cthbert. She is 5' 2½" [1.59 m] tall.

Elisha is probably best known as Jack Bauer's daughter in the TV series "24" and that is the first show I've seen her in but recently I watched the movie "The Girl Next Door." It is a re-telling of an older movie called "Risky Business," but with a few changes. The movie took me by surprise in that it was a good story and a just ending. It did keep reminding me of the catch phrase from Risky Business, hence, I felt that it was a re-telling of a similar story. Elisha did an outstanding job as the girl next door but her role's occupation, which I won't divulge for those who don't know or want to know, just doesn't fit her. She looks too sweet and nice. I just couldn't see that dark side that Rebecca DeMornay showed in Risky Business. Is that good? Bad? Who knows but I think her screen time should and will go up in the future.

Factoids:

• While trotting the globe as a correspondent for the award-winning series "Popular Mechanics for Kids" (1997), she caught the eye of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and was invited to Washington for a meeting with her.
• Speaks French as a result of growing up in Montreal.
• Dislikes flying so much that she has certain rituals she must do: like always board the plane with her right foot first.
• She left Canada at the age of 17 to move to Los Angeles, California to pursue an acting career. Had a deadline of 6 weeks. By the end of the 5th week was given the role of Kimberley Bauer on Fox's "24" (2001).
• She's a huge hockey fan and has season tickets to the Kings. She also writes a blog for NHL.com called 'Hollywood Hockey Thoughts'.

Quotes:

• I believe not giving up on doing things.
• I was lucky," (in Los Angeles) "I found what I wanted to do when I was 11.
• "I don't ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie." (Referring to The Girl Next Door (2004)).
• I definitely believe in fate. And I believe what you put in is what you get in return. That's the way it's worked for me. As for the big picture - there's some sort of plan.
• "I just went with my gut feeling and thought that if I care this much about what I'm doing, then maybe there are opportunities elsewhere and I'd be stupid not to give it a try." (when asked about moving from Montreal to L.A. at 17)
• With friends and family in Montreal, it's always in the back of my mind. I like going back. I miss the nightlife. It's such a great city. I've been a lot of places in the world, and I'm sure I'm biased because I grew up there, but I love it.
• At the time, "Sex and the City" (1998) was in its prime and I remember thinking, "God, those girl are so lucky! They got to wear all these different outfits and I'm stuck in the same thing for ten months". (referring to the show "24")
• I'm very mellow. I think if I hadn't become an actress, I would've lived the simple life. You know, get married and sit on my porch.
• I'm a huge fan of video games and comic books. I'm not die-hard or anything, but I definitely appreciate the art in it, which is really cool.
