Rachael Leigh
Cook (born October 4, 1979) is an American actress. She
came to fame after her role in the 1999 teen romantic
comedy, She's All That, and has since appeared mostly in
lower-profile films.
Biography: Cook was born in Minneapolis,
Minnesota to Thomas H. Cook (a social worker and former
stand-up comic) and JoAnn "Jo-Jo" Gianelli (an
Italian American cooking instructor and weaver). Cook
attended school at Laurel Springs School and Minneapolis
South High School. She began working as a print model at
the age of 10, most notably in nationwide advertisements
for Target and appearing on the boxes of Milk-Bone dog
biscuits for medium sized dogs.
Career: At the age of fourteen, Cook began
auditioning for acting work. Her modeling agency sent
her to read for a short film, 26 Summer Street (1996).
She first gained national attention when she was
featured in a memorable This is Your Brain on Drugs
public-service television advertisement. Consequently,
Cook began her feature film career, debuting in The
Baby-Sitters Club (1995) as shy 13 year old baby-sitter
Mary Anne Spier. The movie was based on Ann M. Martin's
book series of the same name.
Cook's two highest-profile lead roles to date have been
in the films She's All That (1999) and Josie and the
Pussycats (2001). Cook has also appeared in a number of
independent films and in the 2005 television miniseries
Into the West.
In 2000, she was the cover girl for the premier issue of
FHM US (March/April issue). Cook also provided the voice
for Chelsea Cunningham on the Kids' WB animated series
Batman Beyond in the episode Last Resort and in the
animated film Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker,.
In 2002, she was ranked #26 in Stuff magazine's
"102 Sexiest Women in the World".
Cook has provided the voice of Tifa Lockhart in the
video games Kingdom Hearts II and Dirge of Cerberus
-Final Fantasy VII-, as well as the CG movie, Final
Fantasy VII Advent Children. She also starred in the
video for New Found Glory's 2002 single, "Dressed
to Kill".
Rachael was born October 4, 1979, in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and graduated from high school in Spring
1998. Rachael got her first acting role when she was
around seven in a non-speaking part in a public service
announcement encouraging adults to become foster
parents. Rachael began doing modeling advertisements at
the age of ten, and probably her best known for doing
spots for Target and Milkbone. She also appeared in a
now-famous anti-drug TV spot in which, armed with a
frying pan, she bashed her way through a kitchen to show
the disastrous effects of heroin.
On reaching L.A., Cook bypassed the wannabe stage and
nailed her first audition (for the part of a budding
entrepreneur in Baby-Sitters Club, The (1995)). She
returned to theaters three months later in the Jonathan
Taylor Thomas vehicle Tom and Huck (1995), then filled
her calendar with appearances in independent and
made-for-TV movies. She divided her time between
Minneapolis and Tinseltown, shuttling from school events
to movie shoots with her mother in tow. Cook's starlet
status crystallized in 1999, when she starred opposite
Freddie Prinze Jr. in the Pygmalion retelling She's All
That (1999). She won acclaim also as Becky Thatcher in
Tom and Huck, starring opposite Jonathan Taylor Thomas
("Home Improvement"). However before catching
the eye of the nation, she was a model for print ads for
about four years. Her spots in the Target Stores ad and
on the cover of a Milkbone dog biscuit box are probably
her best known ones.
Rachael has gone on to make 11 movies in just 3 years,
including Carpool, Living Out Loud and Strike. Other
films that she has done recently include Hi-Line, an
independent film, The Bumblebee Flies Anyway, a teen
drama set in a hospital that also stars Elijah Wood, and
The Naked Man, a comedy about sumo wrestling written by
Ethan Coen. She signed for a handful of plum follow-up
roles, including a troubled adolescent in Sylvester
Stallone's Get Carter (2000), a frontier gal in Texas
Rangers (2001), and the caterwauling lead in the
live-action version of Josie and the Pussycats (2001).
Rachael is passionate about art, especially drawing, and
she would like to eventually try screen writing and has
co-produce an independent film entitled
"Tangled". Rachael enjoys reading, writing,
tennis, roller blading, and shopping for clothes.
Cook's latest voice-over role is for the video game,
Yakuza, where she voices the role of Reina, a beautiful
barkeep. She has appeared in Daniel Powter's Love You
Lately. Cook owns her own production company, called
Ben's Sister Productions (in reference to her younger
brother, an aspiring filmmaker).
Cook eventually stepped away from the spotlight to focus
on spending time with friends and family. She later
returned to mainstream films when she signed on to a new
casting agency. Cook was later cast in a minor role in
the big screen adaptation of Nancy Drew, the female lead
in the independent sports drama The Final Season, and
playing a small supporting lead in Blonde Ambition.
Personal life: Cook has dated actors Vincent
Kartheiser, Ryan Reynolds, Shane West and Rider Strong.
She is now married to actor Daniel Gillies. Cook, a
vegetarian, lives mostly in Los Angeles, but frequently
goes back to visit her family in Minnesota.
