- Best friends with red-hot blonde Amy Smart (Road Trip): the pair were briefly, wondrously, roommates.
- A former cheerleader who signed up with Ford Models.
- Starred in Final Destination, Varsity Blues, Legally Blonde, Bollywood flick Marigold and TV smash-hit Heroes.
Before we’d ever heard of her, American men’s mag readers were getting excited about Ali Larter in the guise of one Allegra Coleman, a spoof character which left readers baffled but helped propel the blonde to quite dizzying heights.
In no time TV came knocking, and soon the former model went serious with bigger roles in Final Destination, Legally Blonde and – alarmingly – a New York stage production of The Vagina Monologues, that strange, just-for-women play about fannies.
We, of course, know her best as Niki Sanders in the wondrous Heroes; she started the very first show posing in her undies for a sex-cam and then went a bit weird when her psychotic other self – Jessica – started appearing in the mirror. But the thought of two Ali Larters kept us glued to the end.
