Elisha Cuthbert used to be on a kids’ show called Popular Mechanics for Kids, in the late ’90s.
And when I was a kid, I had a crush on her.
So in the early 2000s, when she started to pop off everywhere (and for good reason), I felt like an Elisha Cuthbert hipster…. As in: I had a crush on her before anybody else did.
Then, the Canadian actress showed up on 24 as Kim Bauer, playing Kiefer Sutherland’s daughter and somehow surviving every near-death experience imaginable in a single day.
She was funny, compelling, and was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award twice for it. Not bad for a girl from Calgary who gave herself six weeks to make it in Hollywood.
All to say, what happened to Elisha Cuthbert? Where did she go? And why hasn’t she answered any of my emails?
