Tara Reid

In 2001, Reid broke off her engagement with Carson Daly.

In 2006, she underwent liposculpting, which was a disaster. She also underwent a ‘doughnut mastopexy’.

In January 2010, Michael Axtmann proposed to Reid but the duo did not proceed with their wedding.

Tara Donna Reid hails from Wyckoff, New Jersey. Her parents are Donna and Tom Reid who were teachers and the owners of a day-care centre. She has three siblings; Colleen Marie, Patrick John and Tom.

She went to Professional Children’s School in Manhattan and started acting when she was just four years old.

She was offered several commercials as a child and she finally appeared on ‘Child’s Play’, a game show, when she was just nine years old.

She attended several schools before finally graduating from Barnstable Academy.

She made her motion picture debut in ‘A Return to Salem’s Lot’, which released in 1987.

She had her first big break with the 1998 movie, ‘The Big Lebowski’. However, the movie was not a commercial success. She then starred in ‘Urban Legend’ the same year and appeared in ‘Cruel Intentions’ as ‘Marci Greenbaum’ the following year - both of which were successful films.

In 1999, Reid portrayed the role of ‘Vicky’ in the first installment of the famous ‘American Pie’ series. This was her first commercially successful performance. However, her role as ‘Melody Valentine’ in ‘Josie and the Pussycats’ did not prove to be as successful.

Reid followed this with another performance in the sequel ‘American Pie 2’ in 2001. The movie became an even bigger success than the first one.

She then went on to star in a series of other films including, ‘National Lampoon’s Van Wilder’ and ‘Devil’s Pond’.

In 2003, Reid worked opposite Ashton Kutcher in ‘My Boss’s Daughter’ where her work was tanked by the critics. She was not a part of ‘American Pie 3’, which released the same year.

‘The Big Lebowski’ gave Reid her first big break in Hollywood. It is believed that Charlize Theron was offered the role of ‘Bunny’ but it was eventually given to Reid. The film collected a total of $46, 189, 568 worldwide and is regarded as a ‘cult favorite’.

Her role as the virgin ‘Vicky’ in the ‘American Pie’ series, cemented her place in Hollywood. The franchise became a fad among teenagers and is to date, considered a ‘sleeper hit’, which has also spawned a number of sequels.
