Elisha Cuthbert is possibly most known for her role as "Kim Bauer" in the hit series' of "24" and also as "Danielle" from "The Girl Next Door". Personally i found her quite attractive in the first season of "24", though later seasons had cleary taken their toll on her goodlooks.
Elisha Cuthbert auditioned for the role of Mary Jane Watson in the spider manfilm, though the role eventually went to Kirsten Dunst. She began her Hollywood film career with small roles in "Old School" and "Love Actually" in 2003
Elisha Cuthbert's next film, "The Girl Next Door", cast her in her first lead role as a burgeoning porn star, Danielle, alongside Emile Hirsch. Elisha Cuthbert had initial reservations about taking the part, but was persuaded by director Luke Greenfield into accepting. She researched the role, speaking to actual adult actresses from Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment such as Mercedez. Upon its release the film received comparisons to Risky Business — although Cuthbert claims her character was not directly based on De Mornay's character — and was noted for Elisha Cuthbert's sex appeal. Critics were divided; some praised the film for its boldness, while others, notably Roger Ebert, decried it for being gimmicky and exploitative. Ebert wrote that he saw Elisha Cuthbert's character Danielle as "quite the most unpleasant character I have seen in some time."
In her next big-screen outing, Elisha Cuthbert starred with Paris Hilton and Chad Michael Murray in the 2005 remake of the classic horror film House of Wax. Elisha Cuthbert, along with the rest of her cast mates, was made up to look haggard and frightened. In one scene, her character was to attempt to open her mouth while her lips were sealed with glue. For the sake of realism, Elisha Cuthbert opted for real superglue over prosthetics. Despite her efforts, House of Wax was largely panned, with 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 out of those characters reviews tended to think Cuthbert "fares the best". Others noted Cuthbert as an "exception" playing her role "earnestly" and "fine".
Elisha Cuthbert's next film project was the indie film The Quiet, which she not only co-starred in but also co-produced and helped finance. budget. She played Nina, a temperamental 17-year old cheerleader who suffered from sexual abuse. Elisha Cuthbert looked to her younger sister for inspiration as to how to play a teenager. 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, before expanding regionally on September 1.
Elisha Cuthbert has also appeared on music videos such as "Perfect Situation" by feeder and "Nothing in this world" by Paris Hilton.
Elisha Cuthbert also screened along with Brandon Routh for the role of Lois Lane in Superman Returns but eventually she lost out to Kate Bosworth and also lost to Jessica Alba as Susan Storm of Fantastic Four. She is being considered to play the part of Wonderwoman. Hmmmm, I wonder whats going to happen with that. Charlize Theron?
As of 2006, Cuthbert has stated that she would refuse to be photographed nude in film roles or magazines, and uses body doubles whenever necessary, specifying that she "like to keep some things to [herself]".
