So she violated her contract with the producers of "7th Heaven" and did an artsy nude photoshoot for a British "upscale" lad mag when she was 17.
She then won a role as a jaded and sleazy coed in The Rules Of Attraction directed by hip underground director Roger Avary and parlayed that into small roles in Cellular and Elizabethtown, until The Illusionist made her an A-list name.
LOL. I did not know that we had FReepers so well versed in the details of the career launches of skanky young actresses...... :^)
