A former model who had difficulty distinguishing herself from the legion of blonde starlets seeking Hollywood fame in the '90s, Smart made her biggest impression as a high-school brain involved with a quarterback in
Varsity Blues. Her recurring role on
Felicity as another spirited lady friend (who ended up pregnant) further exposed her to the teen set. But a series of poor projects (the middling miniseries
The '70s, the inane comedy
Road Trip) did little to prove that she could do much beyond look good. Although she remained the requisite pretty girlfriend in features that centered on male characters vying for her attention (
The Butterfly Effect,
Starsky & Hutch,
Just Friends), she found meatier parts on the small screen, with a recurring romantic role on
Scrubs and a criminal turn on
Smith.
