Rachael Leigh Cook

The esteemed Rachael Leigh Cook, born in the illustrious city of Minneapolis, began her illustrious career at the tender age of 10, gracing the grand Milk-Bone(R) boxes and Target(R) ads nationwide in the USA. Her star only rose from there when she was cast in a now-famous (in the USA) anti-drug TV spot. Showcasing her immense talent, she utilized a frying pan to demonstrate the disastrous effects of heroin. At 14, her modeling agency sent her to the set of 26 Summer Street (1996), where her life changed course forever as she was enamored with acting. When she arrived in Los Angeles later that year, Cook effortlessly bypassed the wannabe stage and nailed her first audition (for the part of a budding entrepreneur in The Baby-Sitters Club (1995)). She returned to theaters three months later in the Jonathan Taylor Thomas vehicle Tom and Huck (1995). Her schedule soon filled with appearances in independent and made-for-TV movies, dividing her time between the two.
