Personal Quotes

"I feel like I'm one of the Simpsons". (she will have to stick with the same wardrobe all season on the Fox series "24"
(2001)).

I believe not giving up on doing things.

I was lucky," (in Los Angeles) "I found what I wanted to do when I was 11.

"I don't ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be
sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie." (Referring to The Girl Next Door (2004)).

I definitely believe in fate. And I believe what you put in is what you get in return. That's the way it's worked for me. As
for the big picture - there's some sort of plan.

"I just went with my gut feeling and thought that if I care this much about what I'm doing, then maybe there are
opportunities elsewhere and I'd be stupid not to give it a try." (when asked about moving from Montreal to L.A. at 17)

"I remember just sort of thinking I'm not going to get to do this too, too often, so I just went crazy and threw alcohol
around. I was acting ridiculous and screaming at everybody and throwing a fit." (about her performance in the Weezer's
video)
With friends and family in Montreal, it's always in the back of my mind. I like going back. I miss the nightlife. It's such a
great city. I've been a lot of places in the world, and I'm sure I'm biased because I grew up there, but I love it.
At the time, "Sex and the City" (1998) was in its prime and I remember thinking, "God, those girl are so lucky! They got to
wear all these different outfits and I'm stuck in the same thing for ten months".

I'm very mellow. I think if I hadn't become an actress, I would've lived the simple life. You know, get married and sit on my
porch.

I'm a huge fan of video games and comic books. I'm not die-hard or anything, but I definitely appreciate the art in it, which
is really cool.

Mini Biography

SA former child star whose flame continued to burn bright into her teen years, blonde beauty Elisha Cuthbert has successfully
carried the success from Popular Mechanics for Kids and Are You Afraid of the Dark? into a featured role on the hit FOX
series 24 and a successful film career. A Calgary native who landed her first modeling job at the tender age of seven, it
was a mere four years later that Cuthbert instinctively knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her days in front of the
lens. Following an appearance in the 1997 feature Dancing on the Moon, Cuthbert landed a job as a field correspondent for the
acclaimed Canadian television series Popular Mechanics for Kids, and her reporting proved so effective that she caught the
attention of first lady Hillary Clinton, who invited Cuthbert to Washington for a meeting.

Though she spent the majority of her youth in Montreal, Cuthbert moved to Los Angeles at age 17 in order to pursue an acting
career. Featured roles as a reluctant pilot in Airspeed (1998) and a time traveling teen in Time at the Top (1999) were soon
to follow, and by the time Cuthbert joined the cast of Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? in 1999, it was obvious that
her talent was growing. Her role in the made-for-Canadian-television feature Lucky Girl only furthered her reputation as a
dramatically capable rising starlet, and her distinct onscreen facial expressions and convincing performance soon caught the
eyes of producers who were preparing a new thriller series for FOX. Cast as Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland)
damsel-in-distress daughter, Kimberly, in the breakout hit 24, Cuthbert's character suffered through multiple kidnappings and
a mountain lion attack over the course of the series' first two seasons. In the episode of 24 in which she shared a scene

with the mountain lion, Cuthbert made news when the beast actually attacked her on the film set, sending the frightened
actress on a trip to the hospital with an injured hand. On the heels of 24, Cuthbert took a supporting role in the comedy Old
School before appearing in the subsequent romantic comedies Love Actually (2003) and The Girl Next Door (2004), the latter of
which found her taking the lead as an ex-porn star who becomes the object of affection to a lonely suburban boy unaware of
her past.

Megan Fox

Date of Birth : 16 May 1986, Rockwood, Tennessee, USA

Birth Name : Megan Denise Fox

Nickname : Mega Fox , Foxy Megan

Height : 5' 5" (1.65 m)

Mini Biography

Megan Fox was born May 16, 1986 in Tennessee. She has one older sister. Megan began her

training in drama and dance at the age of 5 and, at the age of 10, moved to Florida where she

continued her training and finished school. She now lives in Los Angeles. Megan began acting and

modeling at the age of 13 after winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and

Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Megan made her film debut as "Brianna

Wallace" in the Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen movie, Holiday in the Sun (2001)

A slender, olive-skinned actress whose elegant beauty is somewhat offset by a collection of vivid

tattoos (including a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm and the King Lear quote

"We all laugh at gilded butterflies" on her right shoulder blade), Megan Fox knew she wanted to

be an actress from age three, and never once considered another line of work. A native of

Memphis, TN, Fox began taking dance lessons when she was five years old and continued

perfecting her graceful movements even after her family relocated to Florida five years later. At

13, the aspiring starlet enrolled in modeling and acting classes. It didn't take long for all of Fox's

hard work to pay off, with a role in the 2001 Olsen twins comedy Holiday in the Sun marking the

ambitious actress' official screen debut. Over the course of the next few years, Fox became a

frequent fixture on television thanks to roles on What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men,

and Hope & Faith. In 2004, Fox would torment a fledgling Lindsay Lohan in Confessions of a

Teenage Drama Queen, though it was Fox's performance as a human caught in the middle of an

epic robot battle that would truly prove her calling card to Hollywood. Cast as the love interest of

Shia LaBeouf in Michael Bay's 2007 blockbuster Transformers, Fox turned more than a few

heads while fighting for the future of the human race. In 2008, Fox could be spotted opposite

Kirsten Dunst, Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges, and Gillian Anderson in the Robert B. Weide-directed

comedy How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Personal Quotes

Michael Bay's name, if it's attached to a script, you know it's going to be a huge blockbuster

released in the summer, with jets flying over at the premiere and all that kind of stuff. So, I

knew it was going to be a huge movie.- On working with Michael Bay

[on George Clooney] He's sarcastic, and he has a different girlfriend constantly. It's considered

charismatic. He's like this James Bond, sexy dude. The older he gets, the better he gets. It's a

double standard. To be outspoken, or different at all, is a problem for women. As soon as you

curse or, God forbid, make some sort of sexual reference that's a joke, you're labeled a party girl.

They don't do that with men, so I feel it would be a lot easier.

[Director Michael Bay] doesn't like really skinny actresses. He's been traumatized by them for

some reason in the past. So I always try to put on eight to ten pounds before [filming], and I'm

always the fattest I've ever been when making a Transformers (2007) movie.

[on her Marilyn Monroe tattoo] I committed to having her face on my arm for the rest of my life,

so I have to be a pretty big fan.

I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single Sat word I've ever learned, to

prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.' I don't want to have to do that. I

resent having to prove that I'm not a retard.

Wonder Woman is lame. She flies around in an invisible jet, but she's not invisible. I don't get it.

Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She's

mesmerizing.

About Adriana Lima

Adriana Francesca Lima (born June 12, 1981 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil) is a Brazilian supermodel, best known for her work
with Victoria's Secret. She is currently the 3rd highest paid model in the world behind Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss. She is
represented by DNA NY in the United States, Lumiere Models in Brazil and VIVA Models in Europe.

Adriana was discovered when at the age of 15, she finished in first place in a Ford Supermodel of Brazil model search. This
got her a ticket to the 1996 Ford Supermodel of the World contest. She didn't win and placed second, but it still got her
noticed. Shortly after, Lima moved to New York City, and eventually moved on from Ford, signing with Elite Model Management.
Her early career consisted mostly of fashion editorial work (with early appearances in international editions of Vogue and
Marie Claire in 1997/1998), as well as runway work (Christian Lacroix, Valentino, and others). Lima's first big break came
when she was featured in a Vassarette billboard in Times Square. Her print career followed, and like many other famous names
(Claudia Schiffer, Laetitia Casta, Eva Herzigova), Lima became a GUESS? Girl in their 2000 campaign.

Lima continued to build upon her entry, doing more print work (Maybelline, Bebe, Mossimo, BCBG) and gracing the cover and
editorials of more high fashion magazines (Harper's Bazaar, ELLE, Vogue). Probably best known for her Victoria's Secret work
and Angel status, Lima first graced the VS runway in 1999, and was the show opener for the 2003 and 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows.

In 2001, Adriana Lima starred in the short BMW Film The Follow alongside actors Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, and Forest
Whitaker. In the film, Owen's character is hired to follow Lima's, who is suspected of cheating on her famous husband, played
by Rourke. The film had a runtime of 8:47 including credits, was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, and directed by Wong
Kar-Wai. Lima made it clear that acting is not her priority and that she only did The Follow because it was a short film.

Adriana, a Roman Catholic, was born an only child. She has has been romantically linked to celebrities in this past,
including an engagement with rocker Lenny Kravitz and a relationship with Major League Baseball player Derek Jeter. She is
currently known to be dating Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein. This relationship has been a relatively "hot" topic for the
society spy columns and celebrity watchers, specifically Page 6, New York Post and Hola! online magazine.

She gained a massive amount of fame in Italy after her mega contract with the Italian cellphone carrier Telecom Italia Mobile
grew very popular. In total it earned her 6 million dollars and she has said she's not able to walk down the street in
Italy.
Adriana also does charitable work helping with an orphanage, "Caminhos da Luz" (Ways of Light), located in her hometown. She
helps with construction to expand the orphanage, and buys clothes for poor children in Salvador, Bahia.
Adriana's father walked out on her and her mother when Adriana was 6 months old, Lima has met him only once since. When she
was about 15 years old Adriana wanted to travel to Miami for a modeling competition but she was not allowed to leave Brazil
without certain legal papers that her father owned. Lima has said that she does not hate her father because "there is a
reason for everything" and she believes that her life was fine growing up and that the presence of an unhappy father could
have resulted in an unhappy home environment.
"I wouldn't change anything about my life. I am afraid that if I did, things might have turned out differently and I am
currently living my dream. If that means I had to deal with demons, then I will do it. I got through everything and I am very
proud of myself...Life without a father was confusing at times, I didn't know if I was to blame and I didn't know anything
about him...but I love my mother and I have a bond with her that most people don't share with their own mothers. It all worked out."

Quotes
"Be sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it's about good attitude. You have to believe
in yourself and be strong. "

"Every work has the bad side, and people will be mean to you, and when you're young, you don't know how to defend yourself."

"Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships
and it can be depressing. "
"I missed out on everything. Sometimes on the street I see teenagers hanging out and going to the movies, going to concerts,
and I get so jealous. "

"I was so embarrassed about mispronouncing words. I just knew how to smile."

"Modeling is a tough job, your co-workers are your rivals, it really puts a damper on your perspective of other girls."

respectable history in the Indian cinema. Her mother Tanuja is a renowned actress, whilst her

late father Shomu Mukherjee was a film producer. Her late maternal aunt, Nutan is the record

grandmother, was the sister of three famous film personalities, Ashok Kumar, Anoop Kumar and

Kishore Kumar. Kajol's cousins Rani Mukerji, Sharbani Mukherjee and Mohnish Behl are also

Bollywood actors. Kajol's younger sister Tanisha Mukherjee has recently started a film career

.
Kajol married Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan on February 24, 1999. On April 20, 2003, she gave

birth to a daughter named Nysa, which means Goddess of purity.

On April 10, 2008, Kajol's father died after suffering from a cardiac arrest. His funeral was held

the same day and was attended by other Bollywood personalities.

Career Kajol left her school St. Josephs convent at Panchgani and started her career at the age of

seventeen. Although her debut film, Bekhudi (1992) was not a great success at the box office,

her performance was noticed and she went on to work with big production houses in India.

In 1993, she shot to fame with her second film, Baazigar. The film was her first major hit, and

her pairing with Shahrukh Khan proved to be appreciated. She later went on to make a popular

pairing with him in a number of films, all of which were box office successes.

Her first release in 1994, Udhaar Ki Zindagi, was a box-office failure.

Despite that, her performance in the film was much appreciated by critics, and she won the

BFJA Best Actress Award for this film. She next starred in her first Yash Raj Film, the romantic

drama Yeh Dillagi, co-starring opposite Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. The film was a box

office success and her performance as Sapna, a strong dreamy girl who leaves her paternal home

to make her own life in the big city, earned Kajol her first nomination for Best Actress award at

the Filmfare.

1995 proved to be a very good year for Kajol. She went on to star in two of the year's biggest

hits. Her first release was Rakesh Roshan's Karan Arjun. The film, which dealt with

reincarnation, became the second biggest hit of the year.[5] While three of her next releases that

year failed at the box office, her last release, Aditya Chopra's directorial debut, Dilwale Dulhania

Le Jayenge, was not only the biggest hit of that year, but one of the biggest hits of Hindi cinema

ever. The film has entered its twelfth year in Mumbai theaters, grossing over 12 billion

rupees overall, making it one of the biggest film blockbusters in Bollywood.

Kajol's performance in the film was praised, and she received her first Filmfare Best Actress

Award.

Kajol had only one release in 1996, Bambai Ka Babu, opposite Saif Ali Khan, which was a box office failure.

In 1997, Kajol starred in Gupt: The Hidden Truth. Co-starring actors Bobby Deol and Manisha

Koirala, the film was one of the highest grossing films of that year. Apart from that, her

performance was a significant development for female actors in Bollywood; she was the first

female actor to win the Filmfare Best Villain Award. She next starred in Hamesha. Like Karan

Arjun, the film dealt with the topic of reincarnation. However, unlike the latter, it was a box

office failure.

She next starred in her first Tamil film, Minsaara Kanavu. The film was a major

critical success and Kajol won her first Best Actress award at the Filmfare Awards South

ceremony. Her last release that year was the romantic-comedy Ishq, where she was paired with

her then future husband, Ajay Devgan, which did well at the box office.

Kajol had further success in 1998, as she starred in three of the year's biggest hits.

She first starred opposite Salman Khan in the comedy Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya. The film was

the fourth highest grossing film of the year. Her next release, Dushman alongside Sanjay Dutt,

did moderately well at the box office. She had a double role in the film, and won her first Star

Screen Award for Best Actress for her performance. She next starred opposite Ajay Devgan in

the romance Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, which was the second biggest hit of that year. However, her

biggest success that year came with her last release, Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch

Hota Hai, which went on to become the biggest hit of the year in both India and

overseas.Additionally, she won her second Filmfare Best Actress Award for her performance.

Kajol signs autographs Kajol's first release in 1999 was the drama film Dil Kya Kare.

She played the supporting role of Nandita Rai, which was well received. She had a hit with her

second release, the family drama Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain. Starring alongside Anil

Kapoor, Kajol received another Best Actress nomination at the Filmfare.

She had an unsuccessful year in 2000, as her only release that year, Raju Chacha went

unnoticed.

Kajol had only two films released in 2001. She first played a double role in the drama Kuch

Khatti Kuch Meethi,

which was a commercial failure. However, she reinvented her success in her second venture with

Karan Johar, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which was one of the biggest hits of the year, and for

which she won several Best Actress awards, including her third Filmfare Best Actress Award and

her second Star Screen Award for Best Actress. Critic Taran Adarsh, wrote of her performance

in the film, "Kajol is first-rate in the role of a typical Chandni Chowk lass. Her Punjabi dialect will

win her immense praise. The sequence when she seeks Amitabh's aashirwad, without him

knowing about it, is terrific.

Following the success of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kajol took a sabbatical from full time acting

for five years. She gave birth to her daughter Nysa in 2003.

She made a successful comeback in 2006 with Kunal Kohli's drama Fanaa, one of the highest

grossing films of the year.[16] Portraying a blind Kashmiri girl who falls in love with a Kashmiri

terrorist (played by Aamir Khan) in the film, she won her fourth Filmfare Best Actress Award,

which placed her at par with two famous Bollywood actresses, Meena Kumari and Madhuri Dixit, each of whom holds 4 Best Actress awards from Filmfare. (Kajol's late aunt, Nutan

currently holds the record for five such awards.)

Kajol's latest release, U, Me aur Hum, which released on April 11, 2008, marked her husband

Ajay Devgan's directorial debut. The film performed moderately at the box office and Kajol was

critically praised for her sensitive portrayal as an Alzheimer patient. For her performance in the

film, she received her ninth Filmfare Best Actress nomination. Raja Sen wrote in his review, ""... Kajol ... can span through happy-breezy with her eyes closed, and so the first half doesn't even

pose her a challenge, but when Alzheimer's strikes Piya and she begins to forget all that matters

in her life, Kajol raises the bar strikingly high."
Kajol is currently working on Karan Johar's new movie My Name Is Khan, which is based on a

true story, against the backdrop of perceptions on Islam post September 11. Filming commenced

in December 2008 in Los Angeles and is scheduled for release in November 2009.
