Megan Denise Fox (born May 16 1986) is an American actress and model, perhaps best known for her roles on the television series Hope & Faith and in the 2007 film Transformers.

Biography

Personal life

Fox was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and has Irish, French and Native American ancestry. She grew up in a 'very poor' household and has one older sister. Fox began her training in drama and dance at the age of 5, then moved to Florida when she was 10 years old, continuing her training, and finishing school. She began acting and modeling at the age of thirteen upon winning several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

As of 2007, Fox is engaged to actor Brian Austin Green. Some tabloids have stated Fox is no longer married to Green, they have stated she is actually with Ara Minatsaghanian. Minatsaghanian is a semi-pro soccer player. This has yet to be confirmed.

Career

Fox made her film debut in the 2001 film Holiday in the Sun as the spoiled heiress and rival of Ashley Olsen. She then landed guest appearances on Ocean Ave., What I Like About You, Two and a Half Men and The Help from 2003 to 2004. In 2004, Fox starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen alongside Lindsay Lohan. She was subsequently cast in her first recurring role in a television series on Hope & Faith, in which she portrayed Sydney Shanowski from 2004 until 2006.

Fox won the role of female lead, Mikaela Banes, in the film Transformers, where she plays the love interest of Shia LaBeouf's character Sam Witwicky. In June 2007, Fox was reportedly cast in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, also starring Jeff Bridges and Kirsten Dunst. Ironically, the character Fox will portray is that of a young Hollywood starlet getting her first taste of fame.

Fox has appeared in a five page spread for the November 2005 issue of the popular men's magazine FHM and was ranked number sixty-eight on the FHM 100 Sexiest Women of 2006. She also posed for the March 2007 issue of FHM, the June 2007 issue of GQ and the July 2007 issue of Maxim.

Fox is represented by The Gersh Agency.

Tattoos

Perhaps one of Fox's best known characteristics is her array of tattoos on her body:

• "There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART." (left section of torso)
• "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies." (back, near right shoulder)
• Marilyn Monroe portrait (right forearm)
• Tribal waves symbol (left wrist)
• Star and crescent moon (inner right leg above ankle)
