Kristanna Loken

Landing a contract with Elite soon thereafter, it wasn't long before the girl began to eye an acting career. Getting off to a solid start with a recurring role on the popular soap opera As the World Turns in 1994, Loken went on to appear in such TV series as Pensacola: Wings of Gold and Mortal Kombat: Conquest before graduating to features with the 2000 action film Gangland. Subsequently appearing in the following year's Academy Boyz, she continued to turn up on the small screen in numerous episodes of the popular series Philly. Although Loken's status, to this point, had remained a relatively low-key affair, it was her casting as the villainous T-X in the eagerly anticipated sequel Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003 that found her gaining instant worldwide recognition. Beating out such heavy contenders as the buff Joanie Laurer (formerly known as WWF star Chyna), Loken eagerly accepted the opportunity to relentlessly pummel Schwarzenegger as few could claim. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
