Rachael Leigh Cook: Minnesota
built 210 days ago
Around age 10, Rachael started modeling. With her parents' help, Rachael got an agent and soon started landing modeling and commercial gigs. She ... appeared in school musicals. Rachael modeled for local ads in the Minnesota area which led to more ads that appeared in national publications too. Before catching the eye of the nation, she was a model for print ads for about four years. Her spots in the Target Stores ad and on the cover of a Milkbone dog biscuit box are probably her best known ones.

Rachael was born October 4, 1979, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and graduated from high school in Spring 1998. Rachael got her first acting role when she was around seven in a non-speaking part in a public service announcement encouraging adults to become foster parents. Rachael began doing modeling advertisements at the age of ten, and probably her best known for doing spots for Target and Milkbone. She ... appeared in a now-famous anti-drug TV spot in which, armed with a frying pan, she bashed her way through a kitchen to show the disastrous effects of heroin.

Although Rachael was receiving work as a print model during her 4-year modeling stint (her face appears in a Milk-Bone ad and on the Milk-Bone box), Minnesota was not the hub of acting. So Rachael headed to the West Coast, to pursue an acting career.
