ELISHA CUTHBERT, The Most Beautiful Woman on TV, according to Maxim Magazine 2013





















Elisha Cuthbert named TV’s hottest woman

Canadian actress heats up in comedy Happy Endings

Canadian beauty Elisha Cuthbert has a lot to celebrate.
She stars in a hit comedy Happy Endings, is engaged to Toronto Maple Leaf Dion Phaneuf, and now, she’s been named TV's most beautiful woman by Maxim magazine.
"To think that one person could be the most beautiful when there's Kaley Cuoco, Sofia Vergara, Zooey Deschanel? They're all stunning," the 30-year-old actress and Calgary native said of the honour in an interview with Maxim.
"I'm not gonna fight anyone about it, though. I'll accept it with grace.”
Posing as the magazine’s cover star for the fourth time, Cuthbert looks every bit the Hollywood starlet in a blue belted bodysuit with wavy platinum blonde locks.

She currently stars as Alex Kerkovich in the ABC ensemble comedy series Happy Endings (2011–present).

 

Early life

Cuthbert was born in Calgary, Alberta, daughter of Patricia, a homemaker, and Kevin, an automotive design engineer.[3] She has two younger siblings, Jonathan and Lee-Ann. She grew up in Greenfield Park, near Montreal, Quebec. She also lived for some time in Toronto, Ontario before moving onto acting. In 2000, she graduated from Centennial Regional High School and moved to Los Angeles at 17 to act.[4]

Career

Early career

When she was 9, Cuthbert started modeling children's clothing and also became a foot model.[5] She made her first televised appearance as an extra in the horror-themed series for children, Are You Afraid of the Dark?; she later became a regular on the show.[6] Cuthbert co-hosted Popular Mechanics for Kids with Jay Baruchel, filmed in Montreal. Her reporting captured the attention of Hillary Clinton, who invited her to the White House.[7]
Cuthbert landed her first role in a feature film in the family drama Dancing on the Moon (1997).[2] She appeared in other Canadian family movies and in an airplane thriller, Airspeed. She starred in the Canadian television movie, Lucky Girl, in 2001 and was awarded a Gemini Award for her performance.[8]
Soon after her move to Hollywood, she was cast as Kim Bauer, daughter of federal agent Jack Bauer, in the television series 24.[2] She appeared in the show's first three seasons, but not in its fourth;[2] she guest-starred in two episodes in the fifth season.[2] She also reprised her role as Kim Bauer in 24: The Game and again guest-starred in five episodes of the seventh season and in two episodes of the eighth season.[2]

2002–2005: Commercial success

She began her Hollywood film career with small roles in Old School and Love Actually in 2003.[2]
Cuthbert's next film, The Girl Next Door, was her first lead role. She played an ex–porn star, Danielle, opposite Emile Hirsch. She had reservations about the part, but was persuaded by director Luke Greenfield. She researched the role, speaking to adult actresses from Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment.[9] The film was compared to Risky Business,[10][11] – although Cuthbert said her character was not directly based on Rebecca De Mornay's. Critics were divided; some praised the film for boldness, others, notably Roger Ebert, called it gimmicky and exploitative.[12][13] Ebert wrote that he saw Cuthbert's character as "quite the most unpleasant character I have seen in some time."[14]
In her next film, Cuthbert starred with Paris Hilton and Chad Michael Murray in the 2005 remake of the horror film House of Wax. Cuthbert, with the rest of the cast, was made up to look haggard. In one scene, her character was to attempt to open her mouth while her lips were sealed with glue. For realism, she used Superglue over prosthetics.[15] House of Wax was largely panned, critics citing a range of flaws. It was called "notable for having some of the most moronic protagonists ever to populate a horror film," though of those characters, critics tended to think Cuthbert "fares the best." Though receiving negative reviews the film was a box office success.[16] Others noted Cuthbert as an "exception," playing her role "earnestly" and "fine."[17][18]

2006–2007: Career transition


At the 24 season finale in 2009.
Cuthbert's next film was the indie film The Quiet She was co-star and co-producer.[2] She played Nina, a temperamental 17-year-old cheerleader who suffers sexual abuse by her father. Cuthbert looked to her younger cousin as inspiration for how to play a teenager.[19] The Quiet, distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, premiered at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival and received a limited release in Los Angeles and New York City on August 25, 2006,[20] before expanding regionally in the USA on September 1.
Cuthbert appeared in the music video for Weezer's "Perfect Situation" in early 2006, playing the group's fictional original singer who threw a tantrum that led to Rivers Cuomo, the roadie, becoming frontman of the band.[21] She also had a small role in Paris Hilton's music video for the song "Nothing In This World".[22]
In 2007, Cuthbert appeared in Captivity, a thriller centered on a fashion model taunted by a psychopath who has imprisoned her in a cellar,[23][24] a role for which she was nominated for a Razzie award as "worst actress."[25]
In He Was a Quiet Man, Cuthbert played Vanessa, a quadriplegic, starring with Christian Slater. The film was in limited release in 2007, and it was released on DVD in early 2008.[26]

2008–present

In 2008, Cuthbert appeared in My Sassy Girl, a remake of a Korean film, starring with Jesse Bradford. Her next film was the family comedy, The Six Wives of Henry Lefay, with Tim Allen, in which she played his daughter. She starred in the Canadian miniseries Guns. She was a judge in season two, episode two of Project Runway Canada, in which designers were challenged to create a "party dress" for her.[27]
Cuthbert reprised her character Kim Bauer in the seventh season of 24 for five episodes.[28] She was also was to star in the CBS drama pilot Ny-Lon, playing a New York literacy teacher/record-store clerk who embarks on a transatlantic romance with a London stockbroker. The project, based on a British series starring Rashida Jones and Stephen Moyer, was canceled.[29]
In December 2009, ABC said Cuthbert had joined the cast of The Forgotten in a recurring role as Maxine Denver, a Chicago professional.[30]
In 2011, Cuthbert began starring in the ABC ensemble comedy series Happy Endings alongside Eliza Coupe, Zachary Knighton, Adam Pally, Damon Wayans Jr. and Casey Wilson.[31] The series was picked up for a third season,[32] which premiered on October 23, 2012.[33] That same month, she appeared in The Gaslight Anthem's music video "Here Comes My Man," playing the girlfriend of a man who mistreats her, until she imagines a romantic relationship with a character in a movie and chooses to end her real relationship.[34]

In the media

Cuthbert regularly secures a place in FHM and Maxim's annual "hottest women" lists.[2] Her highest ranking was #4 in the 2008 UK Edition of FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World list. She was ranked #14 in 2003, #10 in 2004,[35] #5 in 2005,[36] #22 in 2006, #10 in 2007[37] and #7 in 2009.[38] The U.S. Edition ranked her #53 in 2003, #63 in 2004, and #54 in 2006.

Personal life

Cuthbert dated Canadian NHL player Sean Avery for nearly two years, before breaking up in August 2007.[46] Cuthbert subsequently began dating Canadian NHL player Dion Phaneuf, currently captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, in May 2008.[47] Cuthbert was the subject of much media attention over these relationships in December 2008, when Avery approached assembled reporters prior to a game and in reference to Phaneuf, said, "I'm just going to say one thing. I'm really happy to be back in Calgary; I love Canada. I just want to comment on how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I don't know what that's about, but enjoy the game tonight." He was subsequently suspended for the comment.[48][49][50] Cuthbert and Phaneuf announced their engagement in September 2012.[47][51]
Cuthbert is an avid hockey fan, and in 2005, she maintained a blog on the National Hockey League website, though she did not post for most of the season.[52][53]
