Before career
Elisha Cuthbert was born on November 30, 1982 in the large Canadian city of Calgary, where more than a million inhabitants live. Elisha's father worked as a design engineer and was involved in the design of automobiles. The mother raised the children and was a housewife. Cuthbert has a brother and sister.
The future actress spent her childhood in a small area of the province of Quebec - in Greenfield Park, which is home to just over 15 thousand people. At the age of 9, she already showed interest in the work of an actress and worked as a model for various brands of children's clothing. When Elisha turned 15, she became the host of a popular Canadian TV show for kids called Popular Mechanics for Kids.
Having worked as a presenter literally a little, she has already gained success. Hillary Clinton noticed her. Elisha received an invitation to visit the White House.
When the girl turned 17, she went to Los Angeles, where she dreamed of building a career as an actress.
