1-MINUTE RESUME FOR EVAN RACHEL WOOD

When she was 7 years old, Wood auditioned for the child lead in 1994's Interview With the Vampire, which ultimately went to Kirsten Dunst. Soon thereafter, she and her family packed their bags for Los Angeles, and Wood quickly found herself in TV shows and films like 1998's Practical Magic (opposite A-listers Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman). From 2000-2002, she was a regular face on Once and Again and was one half of an onscreen relationship with Mischa Barton. She shared the spotlight with her onscreen father Al Pacino in 2002's S1m0ne. The following year, Wood became a Sundance darling in Thirteen, a script written by Nikki Reed at age 13. But her boldest move to prove her adulthood: dating alt-rocker Marilyn Manson.

5 Things:

1. She received her high school diploma at age 13.
2. She has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

Quote:

On receiving the script to Down in the Valley: "I got a call from my mom and she was like, 'This new script arrived, and Edward Norton's attached to it.' He's one of my favorite actors, so right away I was like, 'Of course I'll read it.'"
