While flesh-fixated men's magazines like Maxim honored her with the top spot in their "Hot 100" and Sports Illustrated featured her prominently in their swimsuit issue, Warren was already branching out into acting. In 2001, she made her big screen debut in the fashion industry-set "Perfume", which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Her first mainstream break came with the Renny Harlin car race action flick "Driven", playing Sophia, the beauty who drives two competitors (Til Schweiger and Kip Pardue) to distraction. That summer, she was featured in Tim Burton's revisit to "Planet of the Apes" as a scantily-clad fighter in the human rebellion force. Additional supporting roles in the romantic thriller "Tangled" (lensed 2000) and the action comedy "Kangaroo Jack" (2003) would give her further opportunities to prove her skills.
