Emma Elizabeth Deveraux Donahue; 19 June 1975) is an Australian actress.
She is best known as Samantha Spade in the American television series
Without a Trace.
Montgomery was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, the daughter of
Nicola (née Montgomery), an executive and market researcher, and Phil
Donahue, a restaurateur. Her parents named her and her sisters after
flowers, and their brother after Jethro Tull. She attended the Ascham
School in Edgecliff, New South Wales.

Phillip Deveraux Montgomery Kaufman, born on December 23, 2007 in Los
Angeles.
Montgomery quit school to travel with her then-boyfriend, emigrating to
the United States when she was 18. She came into prominence with her
portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in the 2001 CBS mini-series Blonde, based on
the novel by Joyce Carol Oates. Her big break came in 2002, when she was
picked out of over 100 women for the role of Samantha Spade on Without A
Trace. |

"When it comes to guys, make
sure you are treated like a princess, always."
