Eliza Patricia Dushku was born in the dawn of 1980 on December 30th of that year to a Mormon family in Boston, Massachusetts. At the age of twelve Eliza Dushku already proved herself better than every waiter in Los Angeles when Eliza Dushku made her way onto the silver screen in the 1992 film, That Night. The film wasn't a box-office smash, but it did lead to a role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in 1993's This Boy's Life. Other roles followed (mostly daughter roles), including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis' offspring in James Cameron's 1994 blockbuster, True Lies and Paul Reiser's daughter in 1995's Bye Bye, Love. Eliza took a few years off from acting in order to bring up her grades and finish her junior and senior years at Watertown High School. But only a few months after graduation in 1998, Eliza Dushku landed back in fictional high school as Faith in the cult hit, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Since then, the sexy brunette has become an important star in the teen world, with roles in last year's cheerleader blockbuster Bring it On (waving those pompoms with Kirsten Dunst); Kevin Smith's irreverent hit Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back; and the horror flick Soul Survivors.
