Tara Reid was born on November 8, 1975 in Wyckoff, New Jersey. She is the daughter of Tom and Donna Reid, both teachers who run a pair of day care centers. Tara is of Irish, Italian, French, Hungarian, and English decent, but she has the unique all-American look.

By the time Tara was five years old, she was showing off, singing and dancing on the tables in the local mall. A New York talent agent caught her impromptu act and immediately gave her a contract to work in commercials. Her cute smile graced children's game shows, and she acted in commercials for Crayola, Jell-O and McDonald's. Tara didn't stop her young ambition there, and decided to make professional acting a career goal. To prepare for her future, she attended the prestigious Professional Children's School in New York City. Her classmates included Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jerry O'Connell, MaCualay Culkin, and Ben Taylor.

In 1994, Tara was cast on the long time teen institution, "Saved By the Bell". The show is not exactly known for creating successful actresses, but Tara proved to be the exception. After spending a year with that TV production, she moved on to daytime television, with a recurring role on "Days of Our Lives". A number of good, but not great roles followed, most notably roles in "Urban Legends", and "Cruel Intentions". Then, in the summer of 1999, Tara's career finally took off with "The Big Lebowski", where Tara was cast as Bunny, the much younger wife of The Big Lebowski. Tera next starred as Vicki in "American Pie", the surprise gross-out hit of the year, along with sexpot Shannon Elizabeth. Tara's fame can be firmly attributed to this highly successful film where she played a virgin named Vicki. Tara's role's in these films centered around high school and sex, and featured a number of unforgettable scenes and struck a chord with teenagers acrossed the country. The film's box office success tossed Tara into the spotlight and created such an impression that she has not had a second to spare these days.
