Shannon Elizabeth Biography
Born: September 07, 1973
As part of the amazingly successful American_Pie (1999), Shannon Elizabeth went almost overnight from complete obscurity to being a lust object for mammary-obsessed teenage boys everywhere. Before her turn as Nadia, the Czech foreign-exchange student who steals the heart and hormones of the film's perpetually horny protagonist, Jim (Jason_Biggs), Elizabeth did time in a number of forgettable films and TV movies. Born of Syrian, Lebanese, and Cherokee heritage in Houston, TX, on September 7, 1973, the actress made her film debut in 1998's Dish_Dogs. Minor parts in two TV programs, My Generation (1998) and Dying to Live (1999), followed before her role in American_Pie. After the success of the blockbuster teen comedy, Elizabeth was signed to a three-picture deal with Miramax, ensuring that her career was off to an auspicious start. In 2000 she could be seen as the star of Keenen_Ivory_Wayans' Scary_Movie, a teen thriller parody. The following year would find Elizabeth in no less than three films. After headlining the critically lambasted Tomcats, Elizabeth returned to the role of Nadia before a small role as a jewel thief in Kevin_Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back in 2001. Later that same year, 13_Ghosts found the saucy young actress moving from horror spoof to the real deal. Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi
