Elisha Ann Cuthbert (born November 30, 1982) is a Canadian actress.
Early Life
Cuthbert was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the first child of Kevin and Patricia Cuthbert. Her family moved to Greenfield Park, near Montreal, learning a few words in French as a result of her surroundings.
She began her career in 1989 by modeling for various lines of children’s clothing and also became a foot model. She made her first televised appearance in the horror-themed series for children, Are You Afraid of the Dark? as a young girl in the episode “The Tale of the Nightshift” (she would later become a series regular) and landed her first role in a feature film in the family drama Dancing on the Moon.
She went on to star in several family-themed movies and an airplane thriller, Airspeed, and also hosted Popular Mechanics for Kids with Jay Baruchel. Cuthbert’s role as host of Popular Mechanics sometimes required her to act as a foreign correspondent, and she was required to fly around the world despite her aversion to plane travel.
Her reporting captured the attention of then First Lady, Hillary Clinton, who invited her to visit the White House.

She made her American television debut in the action-thriller 24. Cuthbert began her Hollywood career with small roles in Old School and Love Actually in 2003 and went on to star in her first feature film, The Girl Next Door, in 2004. Over the course of her career, Cuthbert has participated in a wide range of works spanning multiple genres and media.
Personal Life
Cuthbert, who enjoys painting, is a devoted hockey fan and Los Angeles Kings season ticket holder, as are her mother and brother, Jonathan, who are active in the sport. She maintained her own blog on the NHL’s web site. She began a relationship with Justin Timberlake’s personal assistant, Trace Ayala, and became engaged to him in June 2004.
Sometime in November 2005, Ayala remarked, “Neither one of us is in a hurry to get married.” The engagement has since been broken off. Since then, she has reportedly been dating L.A. King Sean Avery, and appeared on an MTV Cribs episode at Avery’s house.
Cuthbert regularly secures a place in FHM and Maxim’s annual Top 100 Sexiest/Hottest lists.
Her highest ranking was #5 in the 2005 UK Edition of FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World list. She was ranked #14 in 2003, #10 in 2004, and #22 in 2006. The U.S. Edition ranked her #53 in 2003, #63 in 2004, and #54 in 2006.
She was not listed in the U.S. 2005 list. Maxim magazine named her #92 in its 2006 Hot 100 list and features her in their Girls of Maxim Gallery.
As of 2006, Cuthbert has stated that she would refuse to be photographed nude in film roles or magazines, and uses body doubles whenever necessary, specifying that she “like to keep some things to [herself]“. Cuthbert has expressed an interest in returning to live in Montreal once she has reached her “higher goals” and “feel[s] content” about her career.
Upcoming Movies
Cuthbert appeared in the music video for Weezer’s “Perfect Situation” in early 2006, where she played the group’s fictional original singer who threw a tantrum that led to Rivers Cuomo, the unlikely roadie, becoming the frontman of the band.
Previously, Cuthbert was featured in the music video for Bon Jovi’s “Have A Nice Day.” Cuthbert also features a small role in Paris Hilton’s music video for the song “Nothing In This World”.

Cuthbert also screened along with Brandon Routh for the role of Lois Lane in Superman Returns but eventually she lost out to Kate Bosworth and also lost to Jessica Alba as Susan Storm of Fantastic Four. She is being considered to play the part of Wonderwoman.
