Few actors are lucky enough to have one hit TV series, but Kreuk had the good fortune — and the talent — to land two, both filmed in her hometown of Vancouver. This exotic, raven-haired beauty got her start in 2000 while still a high-school senior, when she responded to a casting call for the Canadian teen soap
Edgemont. The very next year, she became a superstar on
Smallville. Her unique looks and easygoing sophistication kept her in demand, and somehow Kreuk managed to film both shows simultaneously, until 2005 when
Edgemont ended.
