Amy Smart.

Amy Smart was born in 1976 in Topanga Canyon, California. As a young girl, she gained a reputation as a tomboy and was the only girl on her Little League baseball team. She started to model at age thirteen and moved into acting after landing a role in the 1994 MTV Rock The Vote campaign. She broke into show business with small roles in television movies before making her feature debut in the 1997 independent film, The Last Time I Committed Suicide

She has crafted a loyal following with the teenage and young adult set due to memorable performances in film and television. We loved her role as the naive yet congenial Ruby on Felicity. She is far from being a household name but is known by most for playing the girlfriend with the will of iron to pained and tortured James Van Der Beek in the sleeper hit film, Varsity Blues.

In the embryonic stage of her acting career, Amy Smart is developing into a bright young star. We admit to having trouble distinguishing her from the sorority of budding starlets churned out by the Hollywood factory. Amy should not take all of the blame however. True, she has not always selected the best projects -- witness Road Trip (to her credit, she does bare her chest in that one) -- but she has been the victim of a poor supporting cast on more than one occasion.
