Kristin
Laura Kreuk was born on December 30th, 1982, in Vancouver, Canada.
The carefree daughter of a Dutch father and Chinese mother,
Kristin proceeded through her schooling as an unassuming yet
attention-getting girl. She enjoyed acting classes, but was not
serious about the trade. That is, until a casting director faxed
every high school in British Columbia about a casting call for the
CBC series Edgemont. Kreuk entered and filled the final
spot in the series' cast. Since Edgemont is filmed in Vancouver,
Kristin stayed at her parents' house as her star rose. Her
character is the mysterious pretty girl from out of town and she
is one of the favorites on the semi-melodrama.
Not
to be deterred by the pressures of success and hard work, Kristin
attended another audition for a Vancouver-based television
program: the Warner Bros. series Smallville, which
details the young life of Clark Kent/Superman. She was cast as
Lana Lang, the gorgeous, popular cheerleader-type girl . Since
taking on another popular show, Kristin has done nothing but flex
her unwavering acting muscle.
Shooting
two shows concurrently has left Kristin little time to pursue
other projects. She has had to postpone plans to study psychology
and forensic science at Simon Fraser University. Recently, Kristin
played the title role in a made-for-TV version of Snow White
and became a spokesmodel for Neutrogena skin care products.
