Saturday Scream Queen: Elisha Cuthbert

Born in 1982, Canadian Elisha Cuth gut her start in showbusiness as a child model. Her first acting job came on the kids-friendly horror anthology TV series "Are You Afraid of the Dark" (in 1996, and she returned to the series for the 1999 and 2000 season). At 17, she moved to Los Angeles in order to further her acting career. Her first big break came in 2001 when she landed the part of Kim the Fox series "24," a part she played on and off throughout the 2000s.

Cutherbert's acting resume is a diverse list of comedies, dramas, and, of course, horror. In addition to her recurring role on "Are Your Afraid of the Dark" she also appeared in the "Are You Afraid of the Dark" made-for-television movie (2000), the equally kids-friendly chiller "Believe" (2000), teen-oriented horror films "House of Wax" and "The Quiet" (both in 2005), and the badly marketed horror flick "Captivity" (2007).

Cuthbert is currently starring in the sitcom "Happy Endings".
