MOST TALENTED AND LUCKIEST CELEBRITIES
RACHAEL LEIGH COOK
Ben
is five years younger, and they get along great. "He is totally awesome" is
how she describes him. Her acting career started with commercials and a part
in the independent short film '26 Summer Street'. She obtained management
through her modeling agency in Minneapolis which led to an appearance in the
The Baby Sitters Club. Since then, Rachael has gone on to make 11 movies in
just 3 years, including Carpool, Living Out Loud and Strike. She tells Moxie
Girl magazine, "I look forward to all kinds of roles...playing more adult
parts, preferably ones written for people over 16 years of age." If you're a
casting agent looking to fill a part, look no further...she's the one...and
she's all that, too! Rachael was the first person to be cast in She's All
That. She was drawn to the script's humor. "Very few things make you laugh out
loud when you're by yourself. But when I read the script, I was laughing my
head off in the middle of the night all alone", she recalls. "I just wanted to
grab someone and say, 'This is really funny! I want to do this!'" In addition,
she had another chance to work with Freddie Prinze, Jr. who appeared in The
House of Yes with her. Other films that she has done recently include Hi-Line,
an independent film, The Bumblebee Flies Anyway, a teen drama set in a
hospital that also stars Elijah Wood, and The Naked Man, a comedy about sumo
wrestling written by Ethan Coen.
Rachael
enjoys reading, writing, drawing, tennis, roller blading, and shopping for
clothes. In a magazine, Rachael says that most of the wardrobe in her closet
is mostly black and brown. Rachael's favorite color is black. Her favorite
authors include, Shirley Jackson (I suggest We Have Always Lived in the
Castle), F. Scott Fitzgerald, Franz Kafka. Someday, she even hopes to do some
screenwriting. The bands Rachael likes are Indigo Girls, The Who, That Dog,
and U2. Rachael's favorite TV shows include "American Gladiators", "3rd Rock
From the Sun", and "Fraiser". Rachael doesn't like spiders, power tools, and
rollercoasters. Some media and magazines that Rachael has appeared in include
Moxie Girl, Launch CD-ROM, Movieline, Teen People, Entertainment Weekly,
Bikini, and In Style.
