As a wee one, the lovely Elizabeth Banks competed on Nickelodeon's Finders Keepers and, once Hollywood found her, it had every intention of keeping her. While climbing the ranks, she used her girl-next-door appeal well as office babe Betty Brant in the three Spider-Man films, and then she got naughty as a bookworm with a wild side in The 40 Year Old Virgin.
2008 saw Elizabeth Banks in no less than seven projects, the most noteworthy of which include the silly comedy Role Models, the politically minded W. (in which she played First Lady Laura Bush), and Kevin Smith's hilarious Zack and Miri Make a Porno (in which she played a broke roommate-turned-porn star). She opened 2009 with a role in The Uninvited.
Elizabeth Banks' bathtub romp in The 40 Year Old Virgin scared Steve Carell away, but we remember it fondly. 2008 saw her get wild again as the sweet and sexy Miri, prompting the question: Who wouldn't want to make a porno with her? Through her wholesome looks and on-screen sincerity, she also made Laura Bush likable in W.
In 2009, we'll get to see the more villainous side of Elizabeth Banks when she plays a nurse with suspicious motives in the horror remake The Uninvited. No matter how mean she might act, though, we still find her adorable.
