Megan Fox Biography Who2 Biography:Megan Fox, Actor
Megan Fox is best known as the toothsome grease monkey in Transformers (2007, starring Shia LaBeouf) and its sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). Fox played Lindsay Lohan's rude nemesis in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), then earned praise for her comic sensibilities on the TV sitcom Hope & Faith (Fox replaced actress Nicole Paggi in the second season and was on the show from 2004-06). Since adulthood she's been a favorite of cheesecake magazines, and the success of Transformers cemented her status as a pin-up girl of the tomboy variety. FHM magazine named her the sexiest woman in the world in its 2008 poll. She also starred as a killer cheerleader in the 2009 comic horror film Jennifer's Body. Fox has a tattoo on her right shoulder reading, "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies." It appears to be inspired by a line from act 5, scene 3 of Shakespeare's play King Lear: "So we'll live / And pray and sing and tell old tales and laugh / At gilded butterflies." BiographyA slender, olive-skinned actress whose elegant beauty is somewhat offset by a collection of vivid tattoos (including a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm and the King Lear quote "We all laugh at gilded butterflies" on her right shoulder blade), Megan Fox knew she wanted to be an actress from age three, and never once considered another line of work. A native of Memphis, TN, Fox began taking dance lessons when she was five years old and continued perfecting her graceful movements even after her family relocated to Florida five years later. At 13, the aspiring starlet enrolled in modeling and acting classes. It didn't take long for all of Fox's hard work to pay off, with a role in the 2001 Olsen twins comedy Holiday in the Sun marking the ambitious actress' official screen debut.Over the course of the next few years, Fox became a frequent fixture on television thanks to roles on What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men, and Hope & Faith. In 2004, Fox would torment a fledgling Lindsay Lohan in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, though it was Fox's performance as a human caught in the middle of an epic robot battle that would truly prove her calling card to Hollywood. Cast as the love interest of Shia LaBeouf in Michael Bay's 2007 blockbuster Transformers, Fox turned more than a few heads while fighting for the future of the human race. In 2008, Fox could be spotted opposite Kirsten Dunst, Simon Pegg, Jeff Bridges, and Gillian Anderson in the Robert B. Weide-directed comedy How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |
