A headstrong beauty who started landing parts straight out of high school, Sackhoff snagged what seemed to be her breakthrough role in 2001 as the rebellious daughter of a professor on the highly anticipated drama The Education of Max Bickford, but the show lasted only one season. A handful of small parts followed before the athletic blonde signed on to an unlikely hit: a 2003 miniseries based on the kitschy '70s sci-fi franchise Battlestar Galactica. Sackhoff seduced fan boys with her sexually charged turn as a renegade fighter pilot and returned to the role for the subsequent series.Katee Sackhoff Fast Facts:
