Since making her eye-popping turn as sexy Czech student Nadia in the box office hit American Pie, SHANNON ELIZABETH (Natalie Parker) has established herself as one of the industry’s top up-and-coming young actresses. Only weeks following the success of her studio feature debut, Elizabeth signed a non-exclusive, three-picture deal with Miramax Films. The hit teen horror spoof Scary Movie was her first project under that deal.
A native of Waco, Texas, Elizabeth knew at a young age that she liked performing—from dance to singing to local theater. A local music video producer suggested that Elizabeth pursue modeling, which resulted in a successful career in New York, Europe and Los Angeles. Upon signing with the Ford Modeling Agency in Los Angeles, Elizabeth began to book television commercials and, soon thereafter, guest-starring roles on prime time television shows.
