Career

In 2000 (12 years ago), Perabo was cast in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle as lead character FBI agent Karen Sympathy. Her next film, Coyote Ugly (5 walls), was more of a star-making role. She played Violet Sanford, nicknamed "Jersey," a young woman who moves to New York to pursue her dream of becoming a songwriter.

In 2001 (11 years ago), Perabo starred in an independent Canadian movie called Lost and Delirious, playing a boarding school student who falls in love with a female classmate. The next year, she starred as a French exchange student in Slap Her... She's French, which was shelved in North America for two years, then released under the new title She Gets What She Wants. The movie was released under its original title in Europe. In 2003 (9 years ago), she had a role as the eldest Baker child, Nora, in Cheaper by the Dozen (2003, 9 years ago) which she reprised in its 2005 (7 years ago) sequel.

Other recent movies include The i Inside (2003, 9 years ago), Perfect Opposites (2004, 8 years ago), George and the Dragon (2004, 8 years ago), The Cave (2005, 7 years ago), Imagine Me & You (2005, 7 years ago), Edison (2005, 7 years ago), The Prestige (2006, 6 years ago) and Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008, 4 years ago).
