Born in Los Angeles, California, in 1981, Rachel Bilson is al-ways treated like a princess. Her older brothers and parents spoiled her from birth, and she grew up quite comfortably, becoming a cute, sly1 girl that everyone can’t help but love. Throughout her childhood years, she learned how to make everybody do exactly what she wanted. In doing so, she proved she had talent for acting even before hitting the stage or standing in front of the camera.
Her family encouraged her to become an actress and so, when she was 7 years old, Mr. and Mrs. Bilson helped their daughter land her first role in the film The Wrong Guys. The role was small, but it made Bilson realize that acting was something she wanted to do full-time. Following graduation, she pursued this new passion and hired an agent, who helped get her foot in the door. Bilson’s first major role was on the stage, in a production of Bye Bye Birdie. She figured prominently in the play and used the experience for two more theatrical productions: The Crucible2 and Once Upona Mattress3.
By means of constant auditioning, Bilson reached new heights in 2003. She appeared in an episode4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer5 and 8SimpleRules...for Dating My Teenage Daughter before landing the lead role in a short film called Unbroken.
Thanks to this exposure, Bilson was invited to attend an audition for Fox’s potential new hit, TheO.C.6 The show was aiming to target the same audience as previously successful shows like Beverly Hills, 90210. This was perfectly in line with Bilson’s capabilities, whose youthful, vibrant personality and sexy look impressed the producers of The O.C. They cast her as Summer Roberts, best friend of Marissa Cooper (played by Mischa Barton) and spoiled beauty who personifies the "Valley Girl" stereotype7. Since the show’s smashing debut in the summer of 2003, Bilson has quickly made a name for herself. Girls love to hate her and guys love to watch her in action. With such an innocent face and cunning8 wit, it’s no wonder this star is becoming more and more popular every day.
In 2003, she signed as a spokesperson for Bongo Jeans and has been featured in various magazines. The next year, she was chosen as one of Maxim’s "Hot 100 Women".
After the final season of The O.C., Bilson was named one of People’s "Most Beautiful" for the second time and appeared opposite Zach Braff in The Last Kiss and opposite Hayden Christensen in the 2008 thriller Jumper.
