She made a lasting impression in her horror debut, Scream. Before joining the horror film, she was apart of cult classic indie films. Scream proved to be a major success, which resurrected the entire horror genre, or at least the slasher sub genre.
Following Scream, she was known early on to being outspoken, provocative, free spirited, and showed off her assets at the MTV VMAs while being with shock rocket, Marilyn Manson. She starred in a decent sci-fi film, Phantoms, that starred Ben Affleck. Then came her most memorable more in the quirky cult classic, black comedy, Jawbreaker.
In 2001, she was thrust back into mainstream media and gained more attention for replacing Shannen Doherty on Charmed, from Season 4 to the show's final 8th season in 2006. It was in 2006 when she was primed for stardom when she teamed with Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino in Grindhouse: Planet Terror/Death Proof. Sadly, it underperformed. That same year she had a small yet memorable role in Brian De Palma's, 'Black Daliah'.
Around 2008 she was slated to star in Robert's reboot of Red Sonja. That production obviously never came to fruition. And it's rumored her affair with Robert destroyed future career choices. Around 2009-10, she joined Nip/Tuck playing a femme fatale character. Rumor has it she was fired from the show. It seems from 2010 that she relied on guest roles and Lifetime movies, where her appearance was more so judged than her acting talent. All in all, she should be living a comfortable life with her Charmed residuals and support from her fan base.
