Elisha was quite mischievous as a little girl, even making her mother believe that she was lactose intolerant because she didn't like the taste of milk. She was such a good actress that this ploy worked for years.

"It's funny, for the sex scene I actually made love to a box. It was supposed to look like it's from the guy's point of view, but obviously you can't have a person and a camera in the same place, so they just put a cushion over a box." -Elisha Cuthbert

Cuthbert auditioned for the role of Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man film, though the role eventually went to Kirsten Dunst. She began her Hollywood film career with small roles in Old School and Love Actually in 2003.

Cuthbert's next film, The Girl Next Door, cast her in her first lead role as a burgeoning porn star, Danielle, alongside Emile Hirsch. Cuthbert had initial reservations about taking the part, but was persuaded by director Luke Greenfield into accepting. She researched the role, speaking to actual adult actresses from Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment. Upon its release the film received comparisons to Risky Business although Cuthbert claims her character was not directly based on De Mornay's character and was noted for Cuthbert's sex appeal. Critics were divided; some praised the film for its boldness, while others, notably Roger Ebert, decried it for being gimmicky and exploitative. Ebert wrote that he saw Cuthbert's character Danielle as "quite the most unpleasant character I have seen in some time."

Cuthbert as Carly Jones in House of Wax (2005).In her next big-screen outing, Cuthbert starred with Paris Hilton and Chad Michael Murray in the 2005 remake of the classic horror film House of Wax. Cuthbert, along with the rest of her cast mates, was made up to look haggard and frightened. In one scene, her character was to attempt to open her mouth while her lips were sealed with glue. For the sake of realism, Cuthbert opted for real superglue over prosthetics. Despite her efforts, House of Wax was largely panned, with critics citing a range of flaws. It was called "notable for having some of the most moronic protagonists ever to populate a horror film," though out of those characters reviews tended to think Cuthbert "fares the best". Others noted Cuthbert as an "exception" playing her role "earnestly" and "fine".

Cuthbert's next film project was the indie film The Quiet, which she not only co-starred in but also co-produced and helped finance. budget. She played Nina, a temperamental 17-year old cheerleader who suffered from sexual abuse. Cuthbert looked to her younger sister for inspiration as to how to play a teenager. The Quiet, distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, premiered at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival and received a limited release in Los Angeles and New York City on August 25, 2006, before expanding regionally on September 1.

The blonde beauty, who co-starred with the sexy socialite in horror movie 'House of Wax', has confessed Paris drunk her under the table when they went out partying together.

She revealed: "We went out once or twice to go head-to-head on the shots. I can drink. I can hold my liquor. But I think she beat me.

Elisha also claims she turned Paris into a whisky drinker.

The former '24' actress is proud of the fact that she weaned the hotel heiress of her fancy cocktails and onto Jack Daniel's.

She told Arena magazine: "I like Jack Daniel's, which I turned Paris on to. Before, she was drinking some turquoise thing. I said, 'Girl, if you're gonna drink, let's do the whisky.'"

The sexy actress said the eight-legged creature sank its fangs into her as she stepped out of the shower - and within hours the flesh around the bite was quickly deteriorating.

She revealed: "I was bitten by a brown recluse spider. It got me as I was coming out of the shower. I'd never seen that kind of spider before, I'm from Canada and we don't get those types up there."

"I was literally getting on a plane to shoot 'Love Actually' and this bite started deteriorating my skin - it was eating away at my flesh."

Fortunately as soon as the star arrived on set she received emergency medical treatment to stop the poison spreading.

She added in an interview with Britain's Arena magazine: "When I got to the set I said, 'Something is seriously wrong. This freaking spider just bit me and I'm turning into a leper!'"

"They quickly gave me a shot."
