Kristanna Loken was born in 1979 and though Kristanna Loken is unmistakably of Norwegian origin, Kristanna Loken was raised on an organic fruit farm in upstate New York. It was acting, however, that would prove to be her most successful venture. The same year as the modeling competition, Loken was cast as Danielle "Dani" Andropolous on the long-running soap opera, As the World Turns. This was followed up by short stints on comedies like Unhappily Ever After, Boy Meets World and Just Shoot Me. Kristanna continued to take on bit parts on other shows like Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and finally landed a decent role on Pensacola: Wings of Gold in 1997. This learning progressed when Kristanna Loken was cast as "Taja" on Mortal Kombat: Conquest in 1998. Despite this failure -- as well as the bomb that was Gangland, co-starring rappers Ice-T and Coolio -- Kristanna Loken never gave up. This beautiful Norwegian finally has the chance to prove herself on a bigger stage with the release of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
