Kristanna Loken - Biography |
|
|
|
Kristanna Loken was born in 1979 and
was raised on an organic fruit farm in upstate New York. Her father is a
successful writer of novels and screenplays, and the owner/operator of the
Loken family's farm. Her mother is a former Wilhelmina model.
During her childhood, Loken was educated in both public and private
schools and tried her hand at several activities including singing, acting
and dancing lessons. Loken was a stellar student and came to love
horseback riding. In fact, she showcased her skills in equestrian events
and has ridden across much of Hawaii, Ireland and Namibia, Africa.
Encouraged by her mother, Loken began her modeling career at the early age
of 15, and placed third in the Elite Look of the Year contest in Ibiza,
Spain. This exposure led to some modeling jobs as an Elite model.
It was acting, however, that would prove to be her most successful
venture. The same year as the Elite modeling competition, Loken was cast
as Danielle "Dani" Andropolous on the long-running soap opera, As the
World Turns. This was followed up by short stints on comedies like
Unhappily Ever After, Boy Meets World and Just Shoot Me.
Loken continued to take on bit parts on other shows like Lois & Clark: The
New Adventures of Superman and finally landed a decent role on Pensacola:
Wings of Gold in 1997. She was able to develop the character of Janine
Kelly during her one-year tenure on the show and gained some valuable
acting experience in the process.
After years of bit parts and cancelled shows, Loken's efforts were finally
rewarded in 2001 after being offered a recurring role as A.D.A. Lisa
Walensky on the TV drama, Philly. Working hard to get her name out even
more, Loken starred in 2001's Panic. But, it wasn't until she was cast as
the villain T-X in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines that Loken got her
big break. After the film's release in 2003, people can't seem to get
enough of Kirstanna Loken. She already has three movies lined up for
release in 2004, and has graced the covers of dozens of magazines. It
seems safe to say that we'll definitely be seeing a lot more of Kristanna
Loken in the future. |

Kristanna Loken - Personal Quotes |
|
|
|
"I know that my life will
change after this movie, but I just can't prepare myself on no
longer being anonymous."
"Believe in, and follow your dreams".
"In the back of my mind I kept thinking, I'm fighting Arnold and
I've got to be naked in front of the world. So that was enough
incentive. I would work, like, 20 hours and work out constantly in
my gym and my trailer because of the 'birthing' scene, as I call
it."
"When I got the [T3] job, my manager said, 'Kristanna, just enjoy
this last year of anonymity, because afterward you're not going to
be able to pump your own gas.' I feel ready. Why not?"
"Acting is what I've pursued since I was a child." |
