Alicia Silverstone was born on October 4, 1976 in San Francisco, California.

At the age of 6, Alicia received a series of modeling jobs. Soon thereafter, she appeared in a Domino's Pizza television commercial and then, who could forget her guest appearance as Kevin's (Fred Savage) dream girl on ''The Wonder Years''?

She took an intensive acting class at the age of twelve (sources range from twelve to thirteen) from Judi O'Neill. While in Los Angeles for a showcase, Carolyn Kessler saw her and became her agent and later a good friend. She then moved to Los Angeles, where she attended Beverly Hills High School for a short time

Alicia landed her first movie, ''The Crush,'' at the age of 15. She starred as the man-hungry Adrian Forrester opposite Cary Elwes, and won ''Best Villain'' and ''Breakthrough Performance'' at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards.

1999 started out well for Alicia Silverstone with Blast From The Past. Most critics liked the film and called it Alicia come back movie.

On screen, Silverstone's 2002 heist comedy "Scorched" and rock satire "Global Heresy" made little impact, but that same year she received many positive critical notices for her stint on Broadway as Elaine Robinson in the popular stage production of the classic 1967 film "The Graduate," opposite Jason Biggs and Kathleen Turner.
