As one of the stars of the 1999 summer
smash American Pie, Tara Reid
experienced an almost meteoric ascent
into overnight celebrity. Possessing the
kind of buxom blond good looks that
ensure future employment and Internet
shrines, Reid was best-known for her
role as The Big Lebowski's trophy wife,
Bunny Lebowski, before being cast in
Pie.
A native of Wyckoff, New Jersey, where
she was born on November 8, 1975, Reid
broke into acting at the age of six,
when she was a contestant on the CBS
children's game show, Child's Play. She
went on to study at New York's
Professional Children's School, where
her classmates included Sarah Michelle
Gellar, Jerry O'Connell, and Macaulay
Culkin. After appearing in commercials
for such products as Jell-O and Crayola,
Reid landed a role on the sitcom Saved
by the Bell: the New Class in 1994 and
then had a recurring role on the daytime
drama Days of Our Lives the following
year.
She got her first substantial film roles
in 1998, appearing in the Ed
Wood-scripted I Woke Up Early the Day I
Died, The Big Lebowski, the independent
film Around the Fire, and Urban Legend,
the latest in a long line of teen
slasher flicks. Reid won some amount of
recognition for the last film, which
featured a Who's-Who line-up of
post-pubescent stars and cast her as a
campus radio talk show host. The
following year, Reid earned a form of
screen immortality with her role as the
girlfriend of one of four high school
guys who make a pact to lose their
virginity in American Pie. She also
appeared in more low-profile roles in
the independent film Girl and in Cruel
Intentions, which featured her as one of
Ryan Phillippe's more unfortunate
conquests. Later that year, she had a
starring role in Body Shots, playing one
of a group of twenty-something friends
on the prowl for love and/or sex in Los
Angeles.
Edging ever closer to leading woman
status, Reid's star continued to rise as
the vibrant young actress took on roles
in such high profile efforts as Dr. T
and the Women (2000), Josie and the
Pussycats (2001) and, of course,
American Pie 2) (also 2001). After
taming the savage party animal in the
lowbrow {comedy Van Wilder, Reid gave
screen heartthrob Ashton Kutcher the
runaround in the romantic comedy My
Boss's Daughter. Rebecca Flint, All
