It often happens that beautiful girls leave the modeling business for the cinema. It happened with the American actress Alison Larter: on the advice of a friend, she began to go through auditions on television, and once luck smiled at her. Since then, Alison has played many different roles.
Eli Larter (full name Alison) was born in 1976 in Cherry Hill, in a family that has nothing to do with cinema: her mother was engaged in the household, her father worked in the field of cargo transportation.
When Eli was still in school, she got the idea that she could become a model. This idea was pushed to her by an advertising agent for Phillies - he invited her to shoot a commercial. The first experience was a success, and soon Eli already had a contract with the Ford Models agency in New York.
The work was very interesting, if only because the girl was able to visit different countries of the world as a model: Australia, Japan, Italy. After returning to Los Angeles, Eli began to pursue acting and planned to appear in films and television projects.
Career as an actress
By the beginning of 1998, Eli began to receive invitations to shoot in series, and after a short time she already played in the project "Unpredictable Susan", then the series "Hope Chicago", "Fashion Magazine" and others followed.
The next year, there was a "wave" of youth TV series: "Student Team", "Running from Love" and the comedy "Drive Me Crazy". The young cheerful actress was in her place in these projects - the former model looked simply irresistible.
This is probably why a year later she played the friend of the protagonist in the film "Destination". This is a horror movie in which classmates are haunted by the ghost of death, and they cannot understand why all this is happening. Death is on their heels, it has already overtaken someone, and this makes it even more terrible. The film was a success, so the creators later filmed a sequel. And for this role, Larter was awarded the Young Hollywood Award.
For her participation in the TV series "Heroes" (2006-2010) Larter was nominated for the "Saturn" award. It was a major project with high ratings. It was later shown on television in twenty-five countries around the world.
The variety of roles that Eli has portrayed in film and television is striking. For example, in the film "Resident Evil" she played a positive heroine, and for her role in the film "Obsession" she received the MTV award for the best fight - in this film her heroine was chasing someone else's husband.
Of the last works Larter can be called the films Resident Evil. The Last Chapter”and the TV series“Divided Together”, which began filming in 2018.
Personal life
On the set of Homo Erectus, Eli met her future husband, actor Hayes MacArthur. They met for five whole years, trying to understand what connects them - a real feeling or just an office romance. These years have shown that both work and the free time spent together make their bond stronger and stronger, and they decided to get married.
Eli and Hayes have two children - a son and a daughter, their family life is stable and respectful. The hostess of the house loves to cook, as can be seen from her Instagram account.
