Biographie

Was in a relationship with Matthew Perry from 2006-2012.

She graduated from the prestigious Hamilton Academy of Music in Los Angeles, California, Class of 2000. Her classmates included actor Emile Hirsch.

Her mother died of illness when she was 13 years old.

Grew up in a Reform Jewish family. Her ancestors were from Latvia, Austria, Lithuania, and Russia.

Godmother of Busy Philipps's daughter Birdie Silverstein.

(About the role of Marjee Sorelli on WB's Related (2005)) She's just fun. I almost never get to play the one who has the good clothes and lots of boyfriends and is crazy and wild.

(About the different characters that she has played and how they are like her actual self) I try to bring elements of my own personality to every character I've played, but I think I'm pretty similar to the character I'm playing now (on the series The Class (2006)). The biggest departure would have to have been Freaks and Geeks (1999) Sara, who was this sort of subordinate and shy girl.

[when asked who she wants to work with] Hands down, the Streep, obviously.

I think being mean to people in high school is healthy. It's sort of like you're in this situation with all these other kids and sometimes you need to get your aggression out. And if you'd had people be mean to you before, it really does build character.

Don't peak in high school.
