Happy Birthday: Autumn Reeser

Born: September 21, 1980 in La Jolla, California, USA

At the age of seventeen, Autumn moved to Los Angeles to study at UCLA and pursue an acting career. To support herself she waitressed in the evenings at Jerry’s Famous Deli, the Gypsy Cafe, and Cafe 50’s in Westwood. Eventually she began interning at a casting directors office, where she learned ‘the ins and outs’ of the film and television business. She quickly landed a manager and agent, and booked her first role, an alien girl on ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ at the age of 20. Her career progressed to numerous guest-starring roles on sitcoms such as ‘The George Lopez Show’ and ‘Grounded For Life’, and dramas such as ‘Cold Case’ and ‘CSI’. Her breakout role came in 2005, as the quirky-cute and socially awkward Taylor Townsend on the final two seasons of The O.C. (2003), which she received high critical acclaim.
