Alison Gertrude Larter
was born on February 28, 1976 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. She
began her career as a model and became first "discovered"
when she took the role in the November '96 issue of Esquire
Magazine as "it"-girl, "Allegra Coleman".
People were stunned by the beauty that was possessed by this
mystery girl that they had never heard of, but according to
the cover, she was a bigger name than Gwenyth Paltrow! However,
it was later learned that "Allegra" was Ali Larter-a
model.
Soon after, Ali was
cast into a new film from MTV Films, in which she would co-star
with one of the moment's hottest stars, James Van Der Beek.
With the success of Dawson's Creek, people were sure to be flocking
to theaters to see him light up the screen. Ali dazzled audiences
with the debut of a very commonly referred to dessert: the infamous
whipped-cream-bikini which Ali made so well known. A star was
born in Varsity Blues.
Next, after some
TV appearances (including Dawson's Creek and Just Shoot Me),
we saw Ali gracing the screen with red-hair and a snappy attitude
opposite Melissa Joan Hart in Drive Me Crazy.
Starting a new trend,
Ali became a player in a remake of an old horror film called
House on Haunted Hill opposite Taye Diggs, Famke Janssen, and
Chris Kattan.
Starting a new trend
with her roles, Ali continued in the horror footstep. However,
this time, it was edgier than many films that had been made
before. Co-starring Devon Sawa (Idle Hands) and Kerr Smith (TV's
Dawson's Creek), Ali took the part of "Clear Rivers"
in New Line's Final Destination. She lit audiences on fire with
her extreme acting ability, finally taking a very central role
and defining herself.
Recently, after she
turned 25, Ali appeared as a cover girl for Maxim Magazine for
Men, sparking up even more interest and whipping up an even
stronger fanbase.
