Spotted at age 10 when she and her brother auditioned for a commercial and accidentally tripped at the stairs that broke her nose, half Albanian-half Danish Eliza Dushku paved her way to stardom as she acted like a drama queen. Born on December 30, 1980 at Boston Massachusettes. Being the youngest of three brothers, she grew up in a Mormon family with parents who are both professors. His older brother Nate happens to be an actor and a model. Her parents divorced before she was born.
Since her childhood years, she is into sports like football and ice hockey. She studied drums, piano and dances as well as she became a regular performer at the Watertown Children's Theater. She attended high school at the Watertown High School. She planned to pursue her English course at Suffolk University but stardom snatch her away.
Casting calls for lead role Alice in the movie That Night. She was chosen among other hopefuls at age 10. That stint open doors for her as she stared alongside Robert de Niro and Leonardo di Caprio in This Boy's Life. She landed on other projects such as True Lies, Bye Bye, Love, and Race the Sun. Not only that, she also appeared in television films and short films.
After her few years break, Eliza landed as the sexy and crooked Faith in the Warner Bros. show Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring equally hot and sexy Sarah Michelle Gellar. Her part is originally written for five episodes, she lasted the entire third season and reprise her role in the two-part episode in season four. Faith returned as a heroine in Angel opposite David Boreanaz. Being an effective actress in a sociopath role, she became an icon of some criminals.
Her huge T.V. success made her easy to crossover the movie scene. Her comeback film Bring It On along with Kirsten Dunst is a surprise hit of 2000. The following year, she made The New Guy opposite DJ Qualls and her reunion film with Robert De Niro via City By the Sea. Then followed Kevin Smith's film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back together with hot Ben Affleck, equally hot and sexy stars Shannon Elizabeth and Ali Larter. Her follow-up movie Wrong Turn
took her as the lead role about five people held as prey to a group of cannibals.
In 2003, she stars in a FOX T.V. series Tru Calling where she played the main character Tru Davies. The series lasted for 27 episodes when the network canceled its airing in favor of Point Pleasant. She set her feet off in Broadways via Dog Sees God taken from the original Peanuts comic strip. Her voice is dubbed in the PlayStation 2 video game Yakuza and appeared in Simple Plan's video I'm Just a Kid.
Her status as a celebrity has been put into good use. She helps her father gain funds in The Elisha Dushku Foundation that aims to help Camp Hale and its maintenance. She also landed the Maxim's charts as she topped at no.13 in the Hot 100 List. This just proves that she's not hot, sexy and beautiful but also got a heart of gold for those whose in need.
