Jessica Claire
Biel (born March 3, 1982) is an American actress and
former fashion model, and probably best known for her
role as Mary Camden in the long-running family-drama
series 7th Heaven and her roles in Hollywood feature
films, most notably Summer Catch (2001), the 2003 remake
of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Illusionist
(2006).
Early life: Jessica Biel was born in Ely,
Minnesota to Jonathan Edward Biel and Kimberly Conroe.
Biel, who has a younger brother, Justin, grew up in
Boulder, Colorado, where her family had moved when she
was very young. She initially trained to become a
vocalist with the hope of performing in musical theater
and appeared in several musicals at an early age
including The Sound of Music, Annie, Beauty and the
Beast and Anything Goes.
Career: It wasn't until Biel attended the
International Modeling & Talent Association
Convention in Los Angeles in 1994 when her career
started to take off as a fashion model. However, her big
break came when at 14 years old she landed the role of
Mary Camden on the WB TV Series 7th Heaven. The family
drama from Aaron Spelling and Brenda Hampton became the
most popular (and remains the longest running) series on
the fledgling network. Jessica's film career also began
at age 15 when she played alongside Peter Fonda in his
Golden Globe winning performance in Ulee's Gold (1997).
Aside from acting, Jessica became a spokesmodel for
L'Oreal cosmetics in 2002.
In 2000, Biel posed topless in a layout of Gear
magazine. It was controversial because she was only 17
at the time of the shoot. Her frustration and fear about
being typecast was one of the reasons that led to her
decision. She blamed her saintly image on 7th Heaven for
limiting her film career, including losing a lead role
in American Beauty, which eventually went to Thora
Birch. Jessica also hoped that by posing she would get
out of her 7th Heaven contract, which she accomplished.
She later said she regretted posing for the magazine and
regards it as a learning experience. Jessica returned to
7th Heaven full time for the 2001—2002 season and then
focused her attention on her movie career and has made
minimal TV appearances since then.
After her departure from 7th Heaven she accepted
projects mainly geared to teens and young adults
including Summer Catch (2001), The Rules of Attraction
(2002) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003). The
movies were met with mild reaction from the box office
and received mixed reviews, with at least as many
negative as positive ones as well. She has also had
starring roles in Blade: Trinity (2004) and Stealth
(2005), the latter of which was a box-office flop,
losing a significant amount of money. Biel was also
rumored to be up for the part of Elizabeth in The Fog (a
part originated by scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis). Later
reports stated Biel did not want to do any more horror
films. The part eventually went to Maggie Grace of Lost.
Turning down the role proved to be a wise move: the
remake was a box office flop, which had been predicted
by various critics, as the film was not screened for the
press prior to its release.
After a nearly three year absence, Jessica surprised her
fans by making one final appearance in the series finale
of 7th Heaven in May 2006. The series was later renewed,
at last minute, for an 11th season. Biel has not made
any future appearances as of early 2007. After several
indifferent feature films, her film career finally
blossomed when she played a turn-of-the-century duchess
in The Illusionist (2006), which received good reviews
and generated a profit at the box office. Variety wrote
that "Biel is entirely stunning enough to fight to
the death over," while "handily employing a
refined English accent."
Her latest film, Home of the Brave (2006), about
soldiers returning from Iraq, premiered in Los Angeles
on December 5, 2006.
She'll next star opposite Nicolas Cage and Julianne
Moore in Next (2007), a science fiction action film
based on The Golden Man, a short story by noted author
Philip K. Dick. She will also star opposite Adam Sandler
in the comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and
in A Woman of No Importance, taking over Lindsey Lohan's
part, since the latter recently dropped out of the
project.
Jessica Biel rose to fame as the wholesome preacher's
daughter on the WB television show 7th Heaven, then
gained greater notoriety for trying to get herself
kicked off the show via a risquי photo spread in
the men's magazine Gear. Making such statements as,
"Mary Camden is dead," the 17-year-old Biel
indeed got out of her contract to pursue a movie career;
when that floundered, she found herself reconsidering
her haste and returned for guest spots on the program.
Biel was born on March 3, 1982, in Ely, MN, then raised
in Boulder, CO. She was first discovered at the 1994
IMTA Los Angeles Convention, which earned her a
scholarship to Diane Hardin's Young Actors Space in Los
Angeles. Teen print modeling followed, and in 1996, Biel
began her run as Mary Camden on the Aaron
Spelling-produced 7th Heaven. Shortly thereafter, she
was cast as Peter Fonda's granddaughter in Victor
Nunez's rich character study, Ulee's Gold (1997), and as
Jonathan Taylor Thomas' love interest in I'll Be Home
for Christmas (1998).
But Biel grew tired of playing a good girl on television
and tried to force the producers to fire her from 7th
Heaven, claiming her pristine image was a factor that
kept her from landing the role that went to Thora Birch
in American Beauty (1999).
When the producers would not release her from her
contract, she posed on the cover of the March 2000 Gear
under the headline "Fallen Angel." The images
inside featured her sprawled topless on a bed and
against a bathroom mirror, her hands providing
insufficient cover in a manner that pushed even Gear's
lax standards for showing skin. The issue become one of
Gear's most popular ever, with terrific resale value on
Ebay, and got Biel canned from the show.
However, the controversy and exposure did not
immediately improve her film career. Biel's first
post-Gear role was as a bikini-wearing babe in the
Freddie Prinze Jr. baseball movie Summer Catch (2001),
but the film barely made a flicker at the box office
after being bumped from its initial release date. Biel
has since been making guest appearances in her initial
Mary Camden role and has been cast in director Roger
Avary's The Rules of Attraction (2002).
Personal life: Jessica attended the exclusive
private Lycée Français de Los Angeles for high school.
In fall 2000, she enrolled in undergraduate study at
Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Having
attended there during fall 2000, spring 2001 and fall
2002 semesters, she left before completing a degree
program to concentrate on her acting career.
Biel's hobbies include ballet, soccer, running, yoga and
hiking. She has a dog named East. She recently bought a
house close to her parents in Colorado. Biel is the
co-founder of MTDN (Make the Difference Network) and she
supports several non-profit groups, including PETA and
the home rehabilitation organization Rebuilding
Together, as well as GLAAD. She is also a vegan.
Biel currently resides in Los Angeles. She dated fellow
actor Chris Evans from 2001 to 2006, with at least one
time "off" during that period. Together, they
appeared in the films London and Cellular. She also
dated another fellow actor, Adam LaVorgna, who portrayed
the character of Robbie in 7th Heaven, for about two
years. Jessica had been linked to New York Yankees star
shortstop Derek Jeter , and was also rumored to be
dating Justin Timberlake. She is now rumored to be
dating fellow actor Ryan Reynolds. Recently, Timberlake
has said they are actually a couple, but they are not in
a serious relationship. They are taking things slow.
On July 18, 2006, Biel auctioned herself for a charity
event to help raise money for medical expenses for
Colorado teen Molly Bloom, who lost her leg and part of
her pelvis in an auto accident. The winning bid for the
lunch date with Biel was $30,000 paid by 28-year-old
John Schiffner. Biel quipped, "I promise, I'm a
cheap date." The charity event raised $38,000
total. The lunch date was set for August 18, 2006. Biel
also donated money to the daughter of actor Rey-Phillip
Santos for her appendix operation.
