Elisha Cuthbert, everybody’s favorite girl next door and Jack Bauer’s daughter on the TV series 24, celebrates her 27th birthday today.

Cuthbert was born in Canada and got her start at the tender age of nine when she began to model children’s clothing. She would go on to co-host the TV series Popular Mechanics for Kids, which caught the attention of then–First Lady Hillary Clinton, who invited her to visit the White House.

Cuthbert landed her first role in a feature film in the family drama Dancing on the Moon in 1997. She later landed small roles in the films Old School and Love Actually, both in 2003.

Cuthbert was cast in the role of Kim Bauer, daughter of Jack Bauer in the television series 24. She appeared in the show’s first three seasons, but not in its fourth; she guest-starred in only two episodes in the fifth season. She returned to the series during its seventh season and is expected to make appearances in the series upcoming eighth season.

Cuthbert’s next film, The Girl Next Door, cast her as an ex–porn star, Danielle, opposite Emile Hirsch. Cuthbert had initial reservations about taking the part. She researched the role, speaking to actual adult actresses from Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment.

Despite mixed reviews, the film put Cuthbert into superstar status. Cuthbert regularly secures a place in FHM and Maxim magazines annual “hottest women” lists. She was listed at No. 9 on the 2009 FHM 100 Sexiest Women In The World.

We’ve posted a lot of photo galleries over the past year for a horde of famous chicks and Cuthbert’s collection of photos is among the very best we’ve ever compiled.
