Thora Birch
After having a successful career as a child star by co-starring in various films and short-lived television series'. She also played daughter to Harrison Ford in both Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. What many consider to be her first adult role came in Sam Mendes's American Beauty (1999) as the troubled Jane Burnham. She was only 17, and thus a minor in the United States, when the movie was made, therefore her parents had to approve of Birch's brief nude scene in the movie. Her parents and child labor representatives were on the set for the shooting of the scene.
Since then, she has acted in various independent films and TV movies.
The name Thora is the female version of Thor, the norse god.
