TARA REID BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
| |
Born November 8th, 1975 in New Jersey. Her
parents, who run a pair of daycare centers, send their daughter
to The Professional Children's School in New York City. Her
fellow classmates included Jerry O'Connell and Macaulay Culkin.
Tara took an interest in acting early on, she made her debut in
a children's television game show, Child's Play, in 1982, and
began appearing in television commercials for McDonald's and
Jell-O, amongst others. Tara got her break in 1994 when she was
cast on the longtime teen institution, Saved By the Bell.
Although the show is not exactly known for creating successful
alumni, Tara Reid has continued to prove the exception as she
has slowly worked her way to the top. After spending a year on
SBTB, she moved on to daytime television, with a recurring role
on Days of Our Lives. In the summer of 1999, Tara's career
finally took off with The Big Lebowski, where Tara was cast as
Bunny, the much younger wife of The Big Lebowski. Tera next
starred as Vicki in American Pie, the surprise gross-out hit of
the year, along with Shannon Elizabeth, and Mena Suvari.
Now more of a recognizable star, 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. In the same ywar she was seen in Body Shots,
and in the star-studded flop, Dr. T & the Women; not even Helen
Hunt or Kate Hudson could save that disaster. 2001 was a big
movie year for Tara, with roles in Just Visiting and Josie and
the Pussycats (based on the Archie Comics), as a third of a
female rock group consisting of Rachael Leigh Cook and Rosario
Dawson. In the same year she also appeared in American Pie 2.
After taming the savage party animal in the lowbrow comedy
National Lampoon's Van Wilder, 2002 , Reid gave screen
heartthrob Ashton Kutcher the runaround in the romantic comedy
My Boss's Daughter, 2003. Tara was also engaged to MTV Host
Carson Daly, who had a small cameo in Josie and The Pussycats up
until 2001. They both found the stress of the media's false
stories too much and were unhappy rowing over nothing, so the
engagement was called off. Although the two found their break-up
extremely hard to deal with, they both moved on and remain
friends. Tara also has her own production company, named Hi
Happy Films. |
