Nikki Reed Detailed Biography
|
|
Nicole Elizabeth Reed (born January 17, 1988) is a film actress, producer and writer, best known for her participation in the 2003 film Thirteen.
Reed was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Seth Reed, a Jewish American set designer and his ex-wife, who is of Cherokee Native American and Italian descent. Reed was raised in the Jewish religion.
Catherine Hardwicke was Reed's father's ex-girlfriend, a director, and also a close friend of Reed's family. She asked Nikki to write a script with her. Originally they were going to make a teenage comedy, but instead Reed wrote something based on the experiences she went through as a teenager.
Reed and Hardwicke co-wrote the script for the semibiographical film in six days, a relatively fast time for a Hollywood script to be written. The film was filmed and released in 2003 to glowing reviews, giving Reed recognition in Hollywood as both an actress and a screenwriter. Following the film's release, Reed also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and hosted a number of award shows, including the Young Hollywood Awards (2003), and the Independent Spirits Awards Nomination Show, followed by the West Independent Spirits Awards, both in 2004.
Reed has continued to participate in racy roles that involve the portrayal of sexually promiscuous teenagers, including Lords of Dogtown, also directed by Hardwicke. As of early 2006, she is appearing on the hit T.V. show The O.C. playing Sadie, a new love interest for the character Ryan Atwood.
