Biography |
Nicole Elizabeth Reed is an American film actress, producer
and writer. She is perhaps best known as the screenwriter
and star of the 2003 film Thirteen.
Reed was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of
Seth Reed, a Jewish American set designer and his ex-wife,
who has Cherokee Native American and Italian ancestry. Reed
was raised mostly in the Jewish religion. She wears contact
lenses and glasses.
Reed has described her home life as "complicated". At the
age of fourteen, she moved out of her father's house and
began living on her own. Director Catherine Hardwicke was
Reed's father's ex-girlfriend, and also a close friend of
Reed's family. Hardwicke asked Nikki to co-write a teenage
comedy script. Reed, however, eventually wrote a serious
dramatic script based on the experiences she went through as
a teenager.
Reed and Hardwicke finished the script for the
semibiographical film in six days, a relatively fast time
for a Hollywood script to be written. The film was filmed
and released in 2003 to glowing reviews, giving Reed
recognition in Hollywood as both an actress and a
screenwriter. Following the film's release, Reed also
appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and hosted a number of
award shows, including the Young Hollywood Awards (2003),
and the Independent Spirits Awards Nomination Show, followed
by the West Independent Spirits Awards, both in 2004.
Reed has continued to participate in racy roles that involve
the portrayal of sexually promiscuous teenagers, including
Lords of Dogtown, also directed by Hardwicke. In early 2006,
she appeared on the series The O.C., playing Sadie, a new
love interest for the character Ryan Atwood. Reed has noted
that she disagrees with what she describes as the "trendy
and shallow things" that The O.C. promotes, and that she
appeared in the series because of advice from her agents.
Her most recent film role is in Mini's First Time, which is
scheduled to open on July 14, 2006. In the film, Reed plays
a teenager who, through seduction, involves her step-father
in a plot to murder her mother. Reed has noted that her
character does not "understand the weight of consequence",
and that she enjoyed playing someone who she describes as
"crass" and having a "trucker's mouth".
Reed has written another script, which may soon be produced,
set in New Zealand between the 1960s and the 1980s. |
