Tara Ried was born November 8, 1975, in Wyckoff, New Jersey. The daughter of Tom and Donna, both teachers who run a pair of day care centers, Tara was immersed into acting early on. Of Irish, Italian, French, Hungarian, and English descent, Tara may have an All-Amrican look, but she always had the unique look to make her a child actress.

She made her debut in a children's television game show, Child's Play, in 1982, and then appeared in commercials for products like Crayola, Jell-O and McDonald's. Joining a class consisting of fellow child actors such as Macaulay Culkin, Jerry O'Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Holly Marie Combs, Tara attended the Professional Children's School in New York, NY.
Tara's earlier work includes bit parts in Saved by the Bell: The New Class in 1994, and Days of Our Lives and California Dreams in 1995, once she moved to LA to pursue a full-time acting career.

And she took Hollywood by storm. She was cast as Bunny, the much younger wife of The Big Lebowski, in the movie of the same title, in 1998. That same year, she appeared in I Woke Up Early the Day I Died, and had a larger role in the teen thriller, Urban Legend, as a college campus DJ, sharing the screen with Alicia Witt and Rebecca Gayheart.

1999 was Tara's breakthrough year. She appeared in the made-for-TV movie What We Did That Night, and had a small role in the teen-oriented, sensuous film, Cruel Intentions. After roles in Around the Fire and the independent film, Girl, Tara starred as Vicki in the surprise gross-out hit of the year, Amrican Pie, along with sexpot Shannon Elizabeth and the virginal Mena Suvari.
Now more of a recognizable star, Tara was seen in 1999's Body Shots, and in the star-studded, Dr. T & the Women.
But while 2000 was a quieter year, it was nowhere near boring for Tara, as she met MTV VJ Carson Daly during Spring Break in March, and he proposed in October 2000.

2001 was a big movie year for Tara, with roles in Just Visiting and Josie and the Pussycats, as a third of a female rock group consisting of Rachael Leigh Cook and Rosario Dawson. This summer we'll see Tara reprising her role in the anticipated sequel, Amrican Pie 2, and she will next be seen in Van Wilder: Party Liaison and The Guest.

Biography

Birth Name(s): Sophie Danièle Sylvie Maupu
Date of Birth: November 17, 1966
Place of Birth: Paris, France
Height: 5' 6
Sex/Type: Female
Status: Married
Partner: Andrzej Zulawski (polish director)
Sign: Scorpio
Profession: Actor, Model

Sophie Marcaeu (née Sophie Maupu) was born November 17, 1966, in Paris, France. Sophie Marcaeu began acting in films at 14. Up until that point, she grew up far away frm studios spots. Back then, she was living in the Paris suburbs and her father was a truck driver. At that time, she learned frm one of her friends that Claude Pinoteau (French director) was looking for new faces, for a teenagers movie call La Boum. This movie turned out to be a huge success. This led to the sequel La Boum 2 (1982) for which she received the 1983 Cesar for Most Promising Actress. She then bought back her contract with Gaumont when she was sixteen for one million French franks.

Sophie was honored with the Cesar (French Oscar) for Most Promising Actress, in 1983. Legally tied to her contract with Gaumont, the movie studio she had worked with, Sophie paid one million French francs to buy back her contract when she was 16 years old of course, she had to borrow the money to pay the large sum, but it was worth it for a newly independent Sophie. Sophie then broke away frm the mold of a teenage star and moved onto more dramatic parts, in films such as 1984's Fort Saganne, and Joyeuse Pâques (Happy Easter); 1985's L'Amour Braque (directed by her long-time boyfriend, Andrzej Zulawski) and Police; 1986's Descente aux Enfers (Descent Into Hell); 1988's L'Etudiante (The Student) and Chouans!; and 1989's Mes Nuits Sont Plus Belles Que Vos Jours (My Nights Are More Beautiful Than Your Days), also directed by Andrzej Zulawski.

She was named Best Romantic Actress at the 1988 International Festival of Romantic Movies, for her role in Chouans! After a role in Pacific Palisades in 1990 and La Note Bleue, her third film by her companion, Sophie opted for lighter, fluffier roles, such as the comedy Fanfan in 1993 and La Fille de D'Artagnan a year later. She even ventured into theater with her role in Eurydice in 1991, which garnered her a Marceau a Moliere Award for Most Promising Newcomer. She took to the stage again in 1994, as Eliza Dolittle in Pygmalion. But it was her role as Princess Isabelle in the Oscar-winning epic, Braveheart, that made international audiences take notice of the French beauty.

The same year that Braveheart madness was in the air, Sophie went behind the camera for a 9-minute film, L'Aube a L'envers, which opened for a film at the Cannes Film Festival. While Sophie tries to stay away frm the Hollywood scene and not get caught up in the circuit, she has an impressive resume of Amrican films such as her co-starring role in the David Spade comedy, Lost & Found and William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, along with Michelle Pfeiffer and Calista Flockhart. In 1999, she jumped to Bond Girl status as Elektra King, starring opposite Pierce Brosnan in the 19th Bond outing, The World Is Not Enough. Since her Bond fame, Sophie has starred in the French films La Fidélité, again under the direction of Zulawski and Belphégor Le Fantôme Du Louvre.

On July 24th, 1995, Sophie gave birth to her first child, a boy named Vincent. She is unmarried, and lives in Paris with Andrzej Zulawski, a Polish director who is 24 years her senior. Sophie is an outspoken opponent of blood sports, and has joined Brigitte Bardot in protests against dove shooting in the Gironde and bullfighting in Provence. In addition to her work for animal welfare, Sophie is a patron of Arc-en-Ciel ("Rainbow"), an organization which helps sick children realize their dreams.

Biography:

Pretty, dark-haired actress Jessica Beil impressed viewers with her realistic portrayal of teenager Mary Camden, the mostly level-headed eldest daughter of a progressive minister, on The WB's family drama "7th Heaven" (1996- ). A familiar face to the teen set through her work on the popular series and her numerous magazine covers, Biel was cast opposite heartthrob Jonathan Taylor Thomas in the 1998 holidah film "I'll Be Home For Christmas", playing his well-grounded and assertive girlfriend Allie. Her first film role was in "Ulee's Gold" (1997), starring Peter Fonda, in which she played Fonda's troubled granddaughter Casey, a departure frm her "7th Heaven" role.

The taught, toned Biel raised eyebrows when she posed semi-nude for a cover and photo layout for Gear magazine as a teen in an attempt to shed her wholesome image and, possibly, be released frm her TV contract. She ultimately negotiated a reduced, recurring role on the series and branched further into features, playing Freddie Prinze Jr.'s fantasy rich girl and adding a bit of sexy zest to the otherwise dreary baseball comedy "Summer Catch." She next took on her edgiest projects yet, appearing as promiscuous college student Lara Halleran in writer-director Roger Avary's blunt, sex-soaked adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis' novel "The Rules of Attraction" (2002) and as Erin, the central scream queen of the hit 2003 remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

In “Cellular” (2004), Biel played the spurned romantic interest of a man (Chris Evans) who gets thrown into a high-stakes chase after receiving a random call on his cell phone. Thankfully, her small part in thiz forgettable action-thriller went virtually unnoticed, with no harm done to her career. Meanwhile, the young actress appeared in “Blade: Trinity” (2004), the third installment in the popular B-movie franchise. Biel played Abigail Whistler, leader of a group of human vampire hunters who team up with Blade (Wesley Snipes) to do battle with Dracula and his gang of undead thugs. Early reviews indicated that the flick was for fans only: a videogame plot, loud soundtrack, and ADD-induced editing might turn off mainstream audiences. Biel's next effort was "Stealth" (2005), a stupefyingly lowbrow cross between "Top Gun" and "2001" as a female fighter pilot of a new generation stealth plane who also manages to slip into a bikini for the film. A much better career move was a smaller supporting role in writer-director Cameron Crowe's romantic comedy "Elizabethtown" (2005), as the beautiful girlfriend of a whiz-kid athletic shoe designer (Orlando Bloom) whose ardor cools when he experiences a colossal failure.
