Brittany Snow

Although she got her big break playing a teen rebel on Guiding Light, this angelic-looking actress was a good girl off screen. After launching her modeling career at age 3, the native Floridian appeared in regional theater and TV guest spots before signing on to the New York-based soap. In order to maintain a semblance of a normal life, her parents insisted that she keep Tampa as her home base, and from 1998-2001, Snow commuted to the set while keeping her spot on her school's honor roll. In 2002 she charmed prime-time viewers as the lead on the family drama American Dreams. As a comely blonde dancer coming of age against the tumultuous backdrop of the '60s, she became a teen idol and fashion plate. Although the series was canceled after three seasons, Snow launched a successful big-screen career in youth-oriented comedies (John Tucker Must Die, The Pacifier) while continuing to indulge her dark side as a neo-Nazi high-school student in a scary stint on Nip/Tuck.
