| Between DJing and other odd jobs in Los Angeles, Shannyn managed to land the part of Lady Jocelyn; the love interest in 2001's quasi-medieval hit, A Knight's Tale. Since then, she's had notable roles in movies like 40 Days and 40 Nights and The Rules of Attraction. |

| Shannyn Sossamon has a great attitude about her newfound fame, and decided to be an actress not for the attention, but for the enjoyment of it -- and if the fun is gone, she'll quit in a heartbeat. She only seems to conform when conformity just so happens to be what she wants to do. |

The daughter of an Anglo-German father and a Filipino-Hawaiian mother, Shannon Marie Kahoolani Sossamon was born October 3, 1978, in Honolulu, Hawaii. At age three, Shannon moved with her family to Reno, Nevada. In the mid-1980s, Shannon's mother Sherry split up with her father, Todd Lindberg, and remarried.
While in Reno, Shannon attended Galena High School, and during those years spent much time dancing, often competitively, while getting her first job as a receptionist for her stepfather's car dealership.
In 1995, Shannon changed her name to "Shannyn," then moved to Los Angeles to study dance the following year. She attended Dance Unlimited, and during this time began to work as a DJ in small local clubs. But the pay was hardly spectacular. Sossamon made ends meet by working in coffeehouses and a cigar-espresso store; she also worked briefly as a telemarketer for a carpet cleaning service. |
