Dark-haired, with olive skin and sultry good looks, Shannon Elizabeth first gained notice as sexually precocious Czech exchange student Nadia in 1999’s summer hit comedy “American Pie”. Elizabeth’s partially nude scene in the film, the Playboy layout that followed, and her popular photo-intensive Web site made her a favored lust object among young American men, giving an added boost to her up-and-coming career. Of Syrian descent, the actress had an exotic allure that belied her all-American Texas roots.

On television, Elizabeth took guest roles on the TV series “Step by Step” (CBS) and “USA High” (USA Network), before her “American Pie” fame, and her high-profile guest shot on an episode of USA Network’s supernatural action comedy “GvsE” quickly followed the film’s release.

An ebullient actress who garnered fame with her role as a buoyant free-spirit on ABC’s popular romantic comedy series “Dharma & Greg” (1997-2002), statuesque blonde actress Jenna Elfman broke through as a stand out member of the cast of the failed sitcom “Townies” (ABC, 1996). A professional dancer who made the switch to acting in the early 1990s, Elfman did extensive commercial work before landing her first series jobs, making guest appearances in the 1995-1996 season on the ABC series “Roseanne”, “NYPD Blue”, “The Monroes” and “Murder One” and the CBS sitcom “Almost Perfect”. A role as a drug counselor in the NBC TV movie “Her Last Chance” came in 1996 as well, before the charismatic actress auspiciously landed a regular role as the boy-crazy Shannon, one of three young working class waitresses in the Molly Ringwald sitcom vehicle “Townies”. Although short-lived, “Townies” proved a big break for Elfman, who impressed ABC executives with her scene-stealing turn and signed her own sitcom deal before the last “Townies” episode aired.

A stunning, sexy star with an enviable array of dance moves who has built an increasingly high-profile career primarily on her considerable erotic appeal while maintaining a nice-girl-next-door persona, Carmen Electra effectively transformed herself from pop star protege and Playboy model into a pop culture phenom.

Although he didn’t tap her for the group, Prince later wrote a song for her demo album and rechristened her as Carmen Electra (”You look like a Carmen,” he told her, reportedly thinking of the Bizet opera and adding the heroine of the Greek tragedy as her new surname). Although she flopped with her eponymous 1992 debut album (produced by her purple-minded mentor) but later scored in 1996 by baring it all for the pages of Playboy and racking up guest spots on several TV series, including a stint on “Baywatch Nights.”

Erica Durance was born on January 1, 1978 (day and month not confirmed as of yet) in Calgary, Canada to a truck driver, Joel, and librarian, Gail. She grew up with an older brother and sister on a turkey farm in Three Hills, Alberta in Canada. After school, she moved to Vancouver to start her acting career.

During her early works in movies and tv shows she was credited as Erica Parker, simply due to the fact that she had been married before. At age 18 she got married to her boyfriend of over a year. Three years later the couple got divorced. Erica made her acting debut in the 2002 horror movie The Untold aka Inexplicable (Canada: French title) and Sasquatch (USA). Other roles included House of the Dead (2003) and the made for tv movie Devil Winds (2003).

In 2004 she was cast as the young Lois Lane in the WB’s hit tv show Smallville – she plays the role to perfection. Due to her success among the fans, she was made a recurring guest star, starring in 13 out of 22 episodes.

Erica got married to actor David Palffy on January 8th 2005 after they’d been in a relationship for 3 years. The couple had met during the filming of Stargate SG-1. It is rumored that Erica will be back for Smallville season 5, though as of yet, it is unsure what her status will be, regular or recurring. She and her husband recently bought a house in Vancouver, Canada where they are currently living and working.

A pretty, precocious blonde, Kirsten Dunst began working in commercials at age three (eventually racking up over 70 such credits) and made her feature debut as Mia Farrow’s daughter in “Oedipus Wrecks”, Woody Allen’s segment of “New York Stories” (1989). Modest roles in other features followed, though several of the films (e.g. “The Bonfire of the Vanities” 1990) saw little exposure at the box office. Dunst also appeared in a recurring role on the NBC drama “Sisters” and guest starred in an episode of the syndicated “Star Trek: The Next Generation”.

Dunst was catapulted into the limelight with her stunning work in Neil Jordan’s “Interview With the Vampire” (1994). Only eleven at the time of filming, she essayed what was debatably the female lead opposite Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Her Claudia, a little girl made into a vampire and unable to age through the years, looked like a child one moment and appeared–and acted–like a grown woman the next. Although the film received mixed notices, Dunst’s remarkably mature performance earned nearly universal raves, earning her a few critics awards and a Golden Globe nomination. Although there was talk of an Oscar nomination, it failed to materialize. Nevertheless, the young actress continued to turn in impressive work. She portrayed the younger version of the spoiled, artistic Amy in “Little Women” (1994), appearing alongside Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon (although Samantha Mathis essayed the adult character).
