Erika Christensen has Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Welsh, and Irish ancestry. The actress became famous as the drug-addicted daughter of Michael Douglas in Traffic. She was soon invited for her first ever fashion show by Giorgio Armani: "It was my first fashion show and in fact, it was my first time in Europe." Erika Christensen received the Spirit Award as part of the 10th annual Diversity Awards in 2002; these awards are intended to raise awareness of different cultures and ideas in the entertainment industry.

Erika was brought up a Scientologist by her parents. She became interested in acting at a young age and was home-schooled; she got her diploma at age 16 but Erika never took her SATs. But after acting in The Perfect Score, where high school kids steal the SAT, Christensen says she would like to take the exam for fun, "Recently, an I.Q. test popped on my computer, you know one of those pop up things and I took the test and I did pretty well. So I was really excited."



Erika Christensen shows off her pink and clean tongue, and her generous cleavage. Christensen has gone topless in her film and TV roles; once in Swimfan, where she played an obsessive and seductive high school student, and on the TV show Six Degrees. "I take off my top, which was very cold because I was on Fifth Avenue at 4 o'clock in the morning. You only see the back on the show," said Erika, but plenty of cab drivers waiting for the morning rush could see a bit more. "It was the most dramatic seminude scene I have done because it was in public."

Erika Christensen dropped all her clothes and exposed her curvy figure for art photographer Marc Baptiste's book "Nudes". Other actresses and models who posed nude in this book were Devon Aoki, Kelis, and Gabrielle Union. "I love my body," Erika told the New York Daily News. "Got me some meat on my bones!"

But sweet Erika does not like her derriere: "I'm very uncomfortable exposing my behind. I think I deserve better than I got." Eirka is also conscious about her height of 5'6": "She has always wanted to be taller," says her grandmother Evelyn Christensen. "I'm 5'2", and her other grandmother is even shorter!" But how does Erika Christensen fit her curvy body into clothes designed for skinny models?



Erika stays fit because of her passion for dancing and the occasional workout; in her downtime she says, "I love to dance and sing. I love to travel, although a lot of that comes with this territory as well. I study my religion, visit my family in Seattle, go to the gym, all that good stuff." Her first job as a teen was a national ad for fast food giant McDonald's. Erika likes low-fat vegan chocolates and confectioneries from Givere Chocolatier.

Erika Christensen will be seen in a spate of movies in 2009-10: Veronika Decides to Die, Mercy, The Tortured, and Parenthood. Erika has two brothers and is said to resemble the actress Julia Stiles; she has her own production company called Endless Entertainment.
