Eliza Dushku, the actress who made millions of men cry with joy when she wore that baby blue bikini in Bring It On, celebrates her 29th birthday today.
Dushku is best known for her roles on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff series Angel. She has also appeared in several notable films, including True Lies, Bring It On and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Dushku came to the attention of casting agents when she was 10. She was chosen at the end of a five month search throughout the United States for the lead role of Alice, playing with Juliette Lewis in the film That Night.
In 1993, Dushku landed a role as Pearl alongside Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy’s Life, a role that she said opened a lot of doors. The following year, she played the teenage daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies.
Dushku is the CEO of her production company Boston Diva and serves as a producer on her recently released Fox TV series, Dollhouse.
Throughout her career, Dushku had refused to appear in nude scenes, saying that people have “a better chance of seeing God than seeing me naked.”
However, Dushku does appear topless in The Alphabet Killer. She also posed naked for promotional pictures for Dollhouse and for a photoshoot in the May 2009 issue of Allure magazine.
She is an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and once dated St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Brad Penny. Dushku is currently dating former Los Angeles Lakers forward Rick Fox.
Dushku has been among my personal favorites since her role in Bring It On – that baby blue bikini really did it for me. We’ve featured her on MoonDog Sports twice before, once last year and most recently when we posted a photo gallery of her layout in Complex magazine.
Enjoy these photos and here’s hoping Eliza Dushku has a very happy birthday.
