The actress was born on the 22nd of the year 1984 in New York City to an architect father Karsten and Producer mother Melanie Sloan. Most of her siblings are fellow actors and actresses (which might be due to their family’s deep roots in the business) as well as her grandfather who was also screenwriter and director. Born to a less than average family in the Bronx, she started training in theater in the Professional Children’s School in Manhattan USA. Making her film debut in the 1994 movie “North”, she came into the spotlight for her performance for “The Horse Whisperer” in 1998 and “Ghost World” in 2001. “Lost in Translation” in 2003 won her the Upstream prize for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival, winning again in the BAFTA’s for “Lost in Translation”. In 2004, she was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which she gladly took to enhance her character and position in the film industry. She is politically active and endorses Barack Obama in this year’s elections along with her activist nature for which she joined rock legend BONO in an anti-poverty campaign. The young actress already has 25 films to her credit with three more scheduled for release this 2008 and another already booked for 2009.
