Nikki Reed
Encyclopedia
Nicole Houston "Nikki" Reed (born May 17, 1988) is an American film and television actress, and screenwriter
. She became known in 2003, after the release of the film Thirteen
, for which she co-wrote the screenplay. Reed has since appeared in several films, including Lords of Dogtown
and Mini's First Time
. She also portrays Rosalie Hale in The Twilight Saga
.
and her mother, who is of Cherokee and Italian descent, is Christian; Reed was raised without religion, though she has described herself as "Jewish" and grew up around Judaism
(her brother had a Bar Mitzvah).
Reed has stated that her early home life was "complicated." Her parents divorced when she was two, and she grew up with her mother.
After Thirteens success, Reed returned to Alexander Hamilton High School, but dropped out again after a year. She cited her experiences involving "mothers who were sneaking into the school at lunchtime to confront and harass her about the film" as the reason for her departure. Reed was subsequently home-schooled, and she eventually received her high-school diploma.
finished the script for the semi-autobiographical film Thirteen in six days, a relatively short time for a Hollywood script to be written. Producers asked Reed to play a role in the film because they had trouble casting it, considering it an "uncomfortable" role for most young actresses. The film, starring Evan Rachel Wood
, was released in 2003 with positive reviews, giving Reed some recognition in Hollywood as both an actress and a screenwriter. Following the film's release, Reed also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show
and hosted a number of award shows, including the Young Hollywood Awards (2003) and the Independent Spirit Awards Nomination Show, followed by the West Independent Spirits Awards, both in 2004.
Reed has continued to portray sexually promiscuous teenagers, including her character in Lords of Dogtown
, also directed by Hardwicke. In early 2006, she appeared on the series The O.C.
, playing Sadie, a new love interest for the character Ryan Atwood
. Reed noted she disagreed with the "trendy and shallow things" that The O.C. promoted, and that she appeared in the series only on the advice of her agents. Coincidentally, Reed appeared on The O.C. at the same time as later Twilight
co-stars Cam Gigandet
and Jackson Rathbone
. Reed later commented that her decision to avoid appearances on television or in mainstream cinema was naïve. She explained that her avoidance was due to the thought that if it wasn’t an independent film, it wasn’t right for her.
One of her most distinctive roles was in Mini's First Time
, which received a limited release in the United States on July 14, 2006. In the film, Reed played a teenager who, through seduction, involves her stepfather in a plot to murder her mother. Reed has noted that her character does not "understand the weight of consequence," and that she enjoyed playing someone who she describes as "crass" and having a "trucker's mouth." Reed's character participates in explicit sex scenes, which had to be filmed from the point of view of Reed's back, as she was 16 at the time and thus legally unable to film her scenes in a more explicit manner.
Reed wrote another script set in New Zealand
between the 1960s and the 1980s. Reed has noted that she feels she is a versatile actress, but feels typecast
in roles of "sexy bad girls," noting that producers often tell her that she is too "sexy" for a particular part.
