built 215 days ago
Having performed in school musicals since age 7, Rachael Leigh Cook became a child model, appearing on the cover of Milk-Bone Dog Biscuits boxes, in Target Stores ads and with 3M products. She first drew nation-wide attention for being featured in a public service anti-drug ad which depicts a frying pan and an egg and states, "This is your brain...This is your brain on drugs." In 1994, she debuted on film in the 17-minute 26 Summer Street (released in 1996).

Rather than being a fashion model (probably difficult, standing at 5'2"), Rachael used her beautiful face and talent in more beneficial ways: in public service announcements. She appeared in a non-speaking part in a PSA about adopting foster children, while her most notable work was in the famous anti-drug PSA that simulated how the brain is affected by drugs, by smashing eggs with a frying pan and then destroying the kitchen.
