Erika Christensen - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

At thirteen, she landed the coveted role of "Karen", Wally Cleaver's girlfriend in Universal Picture's feature film Leave It To Beaver. Her performance was critically noted for the chemistry she brought to the character. Erika graduated from the Voyager Charter School at the age of sixteen with a 4.0 grade average at the top of her class of 1998. She continued to hone her skills by performing in popular television shows and gravitated to more dramatic roles and was nominated for the Best Performance by a Young Actress in a TV Series Drama Award by the Hollywood Reporter. Then at seventeen, Erika stunned audiences as Michael Douglas' drug addicted daughter in Steven Soderbergh's Oscar and Golden Globe winning film, Traffic. Erika had never taken drugs herself, so she turned to the drug rehabilitation group Narconon to research her role. Her performance was disturbingly real and she, along with the rest of the cast, received the prestigious Screen Actor's Guild Award for their work. Erika individually received the Movieline Award for "Standout Performance" and MTV's "Breakthrough Performance Female" Award for her role.
