Born in Augusta, Maine in 1980, Rachel studied math and economics at Columbia University. She became both a model and actress in her teenage years, and with her height at 5’10”, she was one of the more noticeable young women on the runway. In fact, her screen debut was as a model in the Richard Gere vehicle “Autumn in New York” in 2000. With her supporting role of Lisa in “The Amityville Horror” in 2005, Rachel began a steady climb to the top of the horror genre as a vying scream queen. She was among the ensemble of “The Woods” and is now leading lady material with “P2.” Rachel really developed her acting chops under Jennifer Garner on “Alias” for 17 episodes. Whether she sticks strictly to horror remains to be seen, but she has shown a flair for the outlandish (“Dumb & Dumberer”), so she could be game for anything. And with a growing fan base and stunning looks, she won’t be hard to miss.

Rachel Says

On puberty:
“I definitely wasn’t one of the cool kids in high school. I was a dork. I was this shy, skinny, flat-chested girl with long arms. One day I looked down and I had breasts. I said, ‘Wow! How’d that happen?’ I was so excited I had to call my mom.”
