Eliza Dushku



Born to parents of Albanian and Danish descent in Massachusetts in December of 1980, her parents later divorced when she was still very young. In 1990 Dushku went to an audition for a commercial where she accidentally fell. The minor spill resulted in a nosebleed that Dushku played up so well that she impressed the judges with her flair for the dramatic. After that Dushku began starring in films and television as early as 1992 when she was discovered after a participating in a nationwide search for her role in the movie, That Night.

However, Dushku claims that it was actually the movie, This Boy's Life, in which she co-starred with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, that opened a lot of doors for her. In fact, the next year, 1994, Dushku found herself working with Jamie Lee Curtis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and James Belushi, in the action-packed movie, True Lies.
