| Thora Birch |
 |
"I haven't had many opportunities to fulfill a lot of dares but I can be a little saucy."
|
 |
| Although her pre-adolescent years witnessed roles in such films as Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, Thora didn't really hit it big until her role as Jane Burnham in 1999's American Beauty. She delved back into teenage turmoil again in 2001, taking on the lead role of Enid in the comic book adaptation, Ghost World. |
 |
| Her performances to date have sufficed to demonstrate that Thora possesses an innate acting talent, one that she'll hopefully continue to flaunt. Add to this the fact that Thora's a superb hottie, and you've got a girl who's definitely worthy of closer examination. |
 |
The source of Thora Birch's unique name lies in the fact that her gender came as a surprise to her parents: having picked the Norse god of thunder, Thor, as the namesake for the boy they anticipated, Jack and Carol Birch were forced to improvise on March 11, 1982, when a daughter was born to them.
While they resolved this quandary in a rather unlikely manner -- through the feminization of their original choice via the addition of a vowel -- the end product proved to be a suitable name for a child who would undergo an uncommon upbringing.
It is not rare that someone being raised in Los Angeles be exposed to certain aspects of the entertainment industry, yet Thora was privy to a side of Hollywood that even most insiders are denied. |
