Widely known for her role on
NBC's prime-time series Sunset Beach, Susan Ward actually began her career as
a model long before she was an actress. Born on April 15, 1976, she was raised
in Monroe, LA, and signed with the Ford modeling agency in New York when she was
just 13.
Acting lessons would come along as well, although after high school
Ward decided to continue with her formal education. Before her network stardom
on Sunset Beach, she had other dramatic television roles, beginning with a part
on the daytime series All My Children. In 1996, she had a starring role on the
short-lived Aaron Spelling teen series Malibu Shores, featuring Keri Russell.
Ward also made appearances on episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess, The X Show,
and Men, Women, and Dogs. In 1997, she broke into the big-screen world with a
small part in Poison Ivy: The New Seduction. She then starred in her first feature
in 2000's The In Crowd, a creepy and dramatic teen thriller. Mainstream cinema
experience continued with supporting roles in comedies like the Farrelly brothers'
Shallow Hal starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Jack Black, and also in the role of Wendy
in Going Greek, both in 2001. Perhaps finding more resilience as an actor in comedy,
she would make a major motion-picture splash in 2002 starring in Tom Sheppard's
Would I Lie to You?
