Career
“Tara Reid started her acting career at the age of six, appearing on the game show “Child’s Play.” She also appeared in a range of commercials as a child and gained her breakthrough role in the 1997 film “The Big Lebowski,” followed by a minor part in “Cruel Intentions” and a role playing a former pornstar and trophy wife in “Urban Legend.” She later moved to Hollywood and appeared in the TV show “Saved by the Bell: The New Class.””
Both commercially and critically, “Wilder Van” and “Pussycats” were considered flops, so it was an unwise decision for her to join the casts of “2 American Pie Reunion” and “2 American Pie Reprised” later. She gained widespread fame and her film “The American Pie” reached the number one spot at the box office. Although Reid was already an established actress at this point, her true breakthrough came in 1999 when she appeared in “American Pie.”

Before landing a role alongside Richard Gere in 2000, Reid appeared in the film “Dr. T & the Women.”
