She turned pro at age 14 and finished fifth in snowboarding at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. She lives and trains in the area of Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. She won gold in the 2010 Winter Olympics in the halfpipe.</p>
<p><span id="more-3405"></span></p>
<p>Born to parents Peter and Marion Bright, Bright is the fourth of five siblings. Her parents named her Torah after Marion Bright learned the word meant “bearer of great message” in addition to referring to the five books of Moses. She grew up in Cooma, New South Wales, and attended Cooma North Primary School at the base of the Snowy Mountains, and initially started out as a downhill ski racer. Bright is married to American snowboarder Jake Welch, and got married in Salt Lake City, USA June 2010.</p>
<p>Bright uses a goofy stance and is coached by brother Ben. Older sister Rowena competed in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.</p>
<p>Bright is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. &#8220;For me it&#8217;s just a way of life – I don&#8217;t drink, smoke, drink tea or coffee, or have sex before marriage. I&#8217;ve never drunk or smoked but I&#8217;ll go out to dance and stay up late and then drive home at the end of the night.</p>

<p>Fisher was born in Muscat, Oman to Scottish parents from Bathgate and Stranraer. They resided in Muscat because of her father&#8217;s job as a banker for the United Nations. Her name, after the Scottish island of Islay, is pronounced eye-la; she has four brothers. Fisher spent her infancy in Bathgate before moving with her family to Perth, Western Australia, when she was nine months old. Fisher has said that she had a &#8220;great&#8221; upbringing in Perth with a &#8220;very outdoorsy life&#8221;. She began appearing in commercials on Australian television at the age of nine, before going on to win roles in popular children&#8217;s television shows Bay City and Paradise Beach. She attended Methodist Ladies&#8217; College and appeared in lead roles in school productions.</p>
<p><span id="more-2583"></span></p>
<p>At the age of 18, with the help of her mother, she wrote two teen novels, Bewitched and Seduced by Fame, that became bestsellers. From 1994 to 1997 she played the role of Shannon Reed on the hit Australian soap opera Home and Away. After leaving the popular soap, Fisher enrolled at a prestigious theatre and arts training school in Paris, and went on to appear in Pantomime in the United Kingdom. She also toured with Darren Day in the Summer Holiday musical, and appeared in a London theatre production called Così. In 2002 she had a part in the film version of Scooby-Doo as Mary-Jane, Shaggy&#8217;s love interest, and subsequently was taken on by an American agent. A larger role in Wedding Crashers, alongside Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, in 2005 won her the Breakthrough Performance Award at the MTV Movie Awards. While promoting Wedding Crashers, she was officially crowned the 1000th guest on Australian talk show Rove on 2 August 2005. She entered the set ahead of Owen Wilson, winning the title by two meters.</p>
<p>In 2006, Fisher starred as Becca, a Manhattan party host, in the relationship drama London co-starring Jessica Biel, Chris Evans and Jason Statham. In 2007, she appeared in The Lookout, a thriller co-starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Matthew Goode, and Hot Rod, opposite Andy Samberg. She was scheduled to appear in The Simpsons Movie, although her appearance was cut from the final version. In 2008, she starred in Wedding Daze with Jason Biggs, Definitely, Maybe, with Ryan Reynolds, Elizabeth Banks, and Abigail Breslin, and had a voice role in Horton Hears a Who! Fisher has also co-written a script entitled Groupies with Amy Poehler, as well as another project entitled The Cookie Queen. She starred in the movie adaption of the book Confessions of a Shopaholic, which opened on February 13, 2009. In the film, Fisher played a college graduate who works as a financial journalist in New York City to support her shopping addiction.</p>
<p>Fisher has spoken out against the lack of opportunities for comediennes in Hollywood.</p>
<p>Fisher lives with her fiancé, English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, in London. She met Cohen at a party in Sydney, Australia. Fisher converted to Judaism after three years of study, completing her conversion in early 2007 and taking on the Hebrew name Ayala (איילה), the Hebrew word for Doe; she has described herself as &#8220;quite observant&#8221;. As of February 2009, the couple have not set a date for their wedding. On October 19, 2007, Fisher gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Olive, in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Fisher has said that her &#8220;sensibility is Australian&#8221; and that she has a &#8220;laid-back attitude to life&#8221; that she feels &#8220;very Australian.&#8221; Her mother and siblings live and work in Athens, Greece, while her father lives in Frankfurt, Germany.</p>

She was once a member of female pop group Bardot and has since established a solo career with the release of an album, Calendar Girl. More recently, she turned her hand to acting, appearing in films such as Date Movie and Click. She dated Ryan Seacrest in early 2008.</p>
<p>Monk&#8217;s professional music career began in 1999 when she responded to an advertisement at the recommendation of her mother which requested girls with vocal and dance experience. The advertisement was for the Australian television series, Popstars, a TV talent show which aimed to create a successful new girl group. Monk, who has been trained in classical and pop singing and has been performing since she was eight years old, drove all night to audition. In one audition, she performed a rendition of Marilyn Monroe&#8217;s famous &#8220;Happy Birthday, Mr. President&#8221;, working on her previous experience as a Monroe impersonator at Warner Bros. Movie World. After numerous rounds of singing and dancing workshops, Monk was selected as a member of the group, which was named Bardot.</p>
<p><span id="more-2424"></span></p>
<p>Bardot became the first Australian act to debut at the #1 position with both its debut single, &#8220;Poison&#8221;, and self-titled debut album. Further singles &#8220;I Should&#8217;ve Never Let You Go&#8221; and &#8220;These Days&#8221; followed and in August, the group embarked on its first national tour. Bardot performed at the 2000 ARIA Awards at which they were nominated in three categories.</p>
<p>In July 2001, the group released &#8220;ASAP&#8221;, the first single from their second album. Bardot now had more control over their music and image. The single peaked Top 5, as did follow-up single, &#8220;I Need Somebody&#8221;, their most successful single since &#8220;Poison&#8221;. The second album, Play It Like That debuted at #16, achieving gold status. Monk co-wrote the album track &#8220;Feel Right&#8221; with fellow bandmate Sally Polihronas. In 2002, final single, &#8220;Love Will Find A Way&#8221; completed Bardot&#8217;s string of consecutive Top 20 hits and the group embarked on its second national tour. In May, the group disbanded.</p>
<h3>Solo music career</h3>
<p>Soon after Bardot&#8217;s split, Monk began work on her solo career, re-signing a solo contract with Warner Music. She travelled overseas to work with some well-known producers including hit maker Rob Davis (famous for co-writing Kylie Minogue&#8217;s &#8220;Can&#8217;t Get You Out Of My Head&#8221;) and this resulted in two tracks, &#8220;Inside Outside&#8221;, Monk&#8217;s debut solo single and the album track &#8220;Don&#8217;t Push It&#8221;. Sophie performed her new single for the very first time in September on the grand final edition of the AFL Footy Show at Rod Laver Arena. &#8220;Inside Outside&#8221; was released 28 October 2002 and after a week of busy promotion, debuted in the Top 5, spending a total of 12 weeks in the ARIA Top 50, receiving gold status. Monk also co-wrote the B-side &#8220;Luv Me&#8221; (in dedication to her long-term boyfriend of the time) with producer Shane Monopoly. Adding to her growing profile was her role as model and spokesperson for Expozay Swimwear. Second single, &#8220;Get The Music On&#8221; became another Top 10 hit, spending 10 weeks in the Top 50. The single&#8217;s B-side &#8220;Shake&#8221; was also co-written by her.</p>
<p>In May 2003, Monk released her debut solo album, Calendar Girl, which surprised many by mixing contemporary pop-dance and funk with classical opera interludes, Monk having been classically trained growing up. Despite heavy promotion including TV advertising and in store appearances, the album debuted at #35 which was seen as a disappointing result. The album&#8217;s final single, the ballad &#8220;One Breath Away&#8221;, was re-recorded and mixed for single release, peaking at #23 in July, spending only 9 weeks in the Top 100. Despite beginning work on new material in early 2004, including songs with dance act Rogue Traders, Monk parted ways with Warner Music. The material created during these sessions has yet to surface.</p>
<h3>Acting career</h3>
<p>Monk has since established herself in Hollywood. Although most of her roles have been reasonably small, she did play Marilyn Monroe for a high-budget telemovie The Mystery Of Natalie Wood (2004) and starred in the music video &#8220;Always&#8221; for rock group blink-182. In February 2006, she starred in her debut feature role as the flirtatious and seductive &#8216;best man&#8217; Andy in the spoof comedy Date Movie. A scene in the film sees Monk act out a parody of the infamous Paris Hilton burger advertisement, somewhat ironic now since her ex-fiancee started dating Hilton in 2008.</p>
<p>June 2006 saw the release of the Adam Sandler film Click, a story about a universal remote control. The film debuted at #1 on both the US and Australian box office charts. Monk plays a small role in this film; Stacey, David Hasselhoff&#8217;s flirtatious, bimbo secretary who she described in an interview as &#8220;&#8230; kind of a floozy that kind of just works there because she gets around a bit. Another serious character.&#8221; She has also appeared in a sex scene with Vincent Chase of HBO&#8217;s Entourage in the episode &#8220;The Day Fuckers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Monk has wrapped up work shooting a role in the dark comedy Sex and Death 101, written and directed by Daniel Waters. The film will also star fellow Australian actor Simon Baker, and Winona Ryder, and received a straight-to-DVD release on 5 March 2008. She has also scored a part in, what is described to be her biggest role yet, the upcoming Warner Bros. comedy Spring Breakdown. Monk describes her character as &#8220;&#8230; the head of the evil girls. I&#8217;m like the evil bitch that everyone wants to be like and they all end up hating her.&#8221; She has confirmed that she is recording three songs for the film Spring Breakdown and that one of the songs &#8220;Candy&#8221; will be released as a single to coincide with the film&#8217;s release. Monk will appear in the upcoming 2008 horror film Pearblossom along side Scout Taylor-Compton. She is also set to star in an upcoming comedy titled Spring Break 83 in which she plays a character named Brittany.</p>
<h3>Personal life</h3>
<p>Monk was born in England, but her parents moved to Australia&#8217;s Gold Coast, Queensland. She also spent time at Somerset College and Macgregor State High school. Prior to, during and after her experience as a member of Popstars, Monk dated an Australian man who she split with shortly before moving to the United States.</p>
<p>Monk has had a tabloid reported private life, including a period dating actor Jude Law. Monk started dating Benji Madden in 2006, but in January 2008, media outlets reported that the couple had split up. Monk had returned to Australia alone, almost a year to the day since Madden proposed. On February 12, 2008 it was officially announced by Monk&#8217;s Sydney agent, Yoon Kim, that &#8220;Sophie and Benji have officially split. The decision was mutual and they remain amicable.&#8221; Three months later, Monk was linked to Ryan Seacrest.</p>
