Ali Larter Biography
Cherry Hill, New Jersey native Ali Larter, was born as Alison Gertrude Larter on February 28, 1976. She began her acting career as a model under the tutelage of the well-known Ford Modeling Agency when she was thirteen years old. However, she didn’t gain a lot of exposure until she appeared in a hoax profile in the November 1996 edition of Esquire.
Since Ali started modeling when she was just thirteen, much of her teenage years were spent moving around and being whisked from one photo shoot to another. When she was seventeen her modeling career moved her to Japan where she temporarily settled.
Just two years later when she was nineteen, Ali accompanied her boyfriend at the time on a move to Los Angeles . When the two broke up, Ali took a trip to to put some time and space between her and her ex. Upon her return, she decided to take acting classes on the encouragement and advice of a friend. Soon she was appearing in stage production like Fine Line and Key Exchange.
A year later she was launched into the entertainment spotlight when she agreed to model for Esquire magazine as the fictional budding star, Allegra Coleman. She appeared on the cover of the magazine, which included a gushing feature on “ Hollywood ’s Next Dream Girl,” who was said to be dating Friends star David Schwimmer and Quentin Tarantino at the same time. The article even went so far as to allege that Quentin Tarantino had dumped Mira Sorvino to go out with her. After Esquire ran the article, the magazine began receiving calls from talent scouts who were desperate to represent the new star.
Even after it was revealed that the article was a hoax, a satirical jab at the puffery most magazines shower on stars, Ali found that agencies were still interested in hiring her and she began auditioning for television and film roles.
In 1997 Ali landed a guest spot on the television series, Chicago Sons. The role was followed by a number of other appearances on several television series, including Dawson's Creek, Chicago Hope, and Just Shoot Me.
In 1999 she acted in the romantic comedy, Casanova Falling. The movie didn’t capture a wide audience even though it was the recipient of that year's Palm Springs Film Festival Award for Best Romantic Comedy.
Her next movie, Varsity Blues (1999) proved to be much more successful in the box office. Co-starring in the movie were James Van Der Beek, Amy Smart, Paul Walker, Scott Caan, Ron Lester, and Jon Voight. In one scene of the movie she appeared wearing nothing more than a few mounds of what was meant to be whipped cream. In reality, shaving cream was used to make the whipped cream bikini because actual whipped cream didn’t stick properly.
Ali followed Varsity Blues with roles in movies targeted at teenage audiences such as House on Haunted Hill, Legally Blonde, and Final Destination, which won her a Young Hollywood Award for Best Breakthrough Performance by a Female Award.
In 2001 she performed in the stage play The Vagina Monologues in New York City . The following year she received a number 40 ranking in Stuff Magazine’s “102 Sexiest Women in the World” listing. In 2003 she appeared in Final Destination 2.
In 2005 Ali was considered for the role of The Invisible Woman in The Fantastic Four. She didn’t end up getting the role, but landed the part of Niki Sanders the following year, in the NBC television series, Heroes. Ali is scheduled to play Claire Redfield in 2007’s Resident Evil: Extinction. |
