Biography of Evan Rachel WoodWhen you think of child stars you tend to think of drug busts, flameouts and police standoffs. That’s why Evan Rachel Wood is so refreshing. The daughter of actors Ira David Wood III and Sara Lynn Moore, Evan has displayed a maturity well beyond her years since breaking into the industry at the tender age of 7. Although her first few projects were admittedly modest in scope, Evan soon hit the big time when she scored recurring roles in series such as American Gothic, Profiler and Once and Again.
Her big break, however, came in 2003 when she starred in Thirteen, a gritty coming-of-age film written and directed by Catherine Hardwicke. Unlike her other roles, Thirteen fully displayed Evan’s impressive range and she reaped the rewards with subsequent roles in The Missing (2003), starring Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones, The Upside of Anger (2005), starring Joan Allen and Kevin Costner, and Down in the Valley (2005), starring Edward Norton.
Evan was cast in the 2006 films Running with Scissors, The Mermaids Singing and Across the Universe, and in the 2007 film The King of California. The sky is the limit for this talented North Carolina native. "I hope to have a career like Jodie Foster," she says, "going from child to adult actress."
