wiki Biography
Ashley Michele Greene (born on February 21, 1987) is an American actress and model, best known for playing Alice Cullen in the film adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels. Personal life
Greene was born in Jacksonville, Florida, the daughter of
Michele, who works in insurance, and Joe Greene, a U.S. Marine who now owns his own
concrete business.[1][2]
She grew up in Middleburg and Jacksonville, and went to
University Christian School before transferring to Wolfson High School when she
was in tenth grade.[3]
She moved to Los Angeles, California,
at the age of 17 to pursue an acting career.[3][4]
Greene has one sibling, an older brother named Joe, who still resides
in Jacksonville with his parents.[3]
Greene is good friends with her Twilight co-stars, particularly Kellan
Lutz and Jackson Rathbone whom she knew before
filming of the series began.[5][6]
[edit] Career
She initially planned to become a model, but was told that she was
not tall enough at 5'5" to be a runway model and should instead focus on
commercials.[4]
After taking commercial and acting classes, she fell in love with
acting and realized that she preferred it over modeling.[4]
Greene thus graduated from high school early at the age of 17 and moved
to L.A. to pursue an acting career.[4]
Since then, she has appeared as a guest on many popular television
programs, such as Punk'd and Crossing Jordan.
Greene's big break came in 2008 when she was cast as Alice Cullen in Twilight, a film based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. She reprised her role as Alice in the 2009
sequel to Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon,
2010's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
and will reprise on 2011 in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.[7][8]
Greene portrayed Michelle Burkham in the drama film Skateland,
which premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.[9]
She will be reuniting with her Twilight co-star Kellan
Lutz in the upcoming movie Warrior[10]
and also stars in thriller film, Summer's Blood,[11]
as well as the Dark Castle Entertainment
production The Apparition, which began filming on
February 1, 2010.[12][13]
Greene, in nothing but a bodypainted bikini, has appeared in
advertisements for SoBe that ran in the 2010 issue of the Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.[14]

named Greene as one of the "World's Most Beautiful Women of 2010".[15]
She also received "The Style Icon Award" at Hollywood Life’s Young
