Her mom accompanied her everywhere until she turned 18. [9] Her parents have since moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania. [10] Larter said she was a tomboy until she turned 13. [11]

Career

1990–1998: Early modeling and television roles

She began her modeling career at the age of 14 when a modeling scout discovered her on the street and was asked to star in a Phillies commercial; this led to a modeling contract with the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency in New York. [12] Larter subsequently skipped her senior year to model in Australia, Italy, and Japan, [12] the latter a country she would temporarily settle in at the age of seventeen. [13] While modeling in Italy, Larter met fellow model and aspiring actress Amy Smart and the two "became instant friends", according to Larter. [14]

In November 1996, Larter portrayed fictional actress Allegra Coleman in an Esquire magazine hoax. [15] When speaking about the cover and her subsequent fame, Larter said, "When the door opens for you in Hollywood, you need to run with it. You know?" [16] Larter is currently signed to IMG Models. [17] She landed her first professional acting roles in 1997 when she appeared in several television programs. She appeared in an episode of the Brooke Shields television series Suddenly Susan , and the short-lived series Chicago Sons. These roles were followed by a number of other appearances on Dawson's Creek , Chicago Hope , and Just Shoot Me! [18]

1999–2005: Film debut and breakthrough

In 1999, Larter made her film debut in the coming-of-age dramedy Varsity Blues , which re-united her with Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek and close friend Amy Smart. Smart had persuaded Larter to audition for the movie, [12] in which she played Darcy Sears, a love interest for one of the main characters. Varsity Blues drew a domestic box office gross of US$53 million. [5] Also in 1999, she made supporting appearances in the teen comedies Giving It Up and Drive Me Crazy , and starred in the remake House on Haunted Hill which was made for around US$20 million. The horror film, following a group of strangers invited to a party at an abandoned asylum, was panned by critics, [19] but grossed US$15 million on its opening weekend and went on to earn over US$40 million overall. [5]

Larter starred as Clear Rivers, one of the main characters in the teen supernatural horror film Final Destination (2000). Also starring Devon Sawa and Kerr Smith, the movie's premise followed several teenagers who survive a plane crash but are stalked and killed by Death itself. Final Destination made US$112 million by the end of its theatrical run. [20] In 2001, she appeared in the comedy Legally Blonde with Reese Witherspoon.

I am no longer the little girl who could be easily influenced." [25]

Her first project there was to reprise her role as Clear Rivers in the sequel to Final Destination entitled Final Destination 2 . In an interview with IGN, Larter explained her return to the franchise: "When New Line asked me to come back, I thought it was great. They showed me the script and let me have some input, and it was really terrific." [26] The film made US$90 million worldwide, [27] to a mixed critical reception.

[31] Larter played the characters of Niki Sanders, who suffered from DID, and Tracy Strauss on the show created by Tim Kring. Larter's initial character Niki Sanders, was a wife, mother, and a former internet stripper from Las Vegas who exhibits superhuman strength and alternate personalities who go by the names of Jessica and Niki. "Ali read for the part and just owned it from the second she walked in," Kring said to the Chicago Tribune , "It was a very impressive audition." [31] As of the third season, Larter began to play the new character of Tracy Strauss, who possessed the ability to freeze objects; and later, turn her body into water. [32]

Larter took on the title role in Marigold (2007), alongside Salman Khan. [33] The film was released in August 2007 and revolved around an American actress (Larter) who goes to India and gets caught up in the exotic world of Bollywood. Filming took place in North India and London, commencing in June 2004.

[34] She was paid a seven-figure salary for her part in the film. [35]

In 2007, she appeared opposite Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil: Extinction , portraying the character of Claire Redfield, who in the film, is the leader of a convoy of zombie apocalypse survivors who go to Alaska in search of a safe haven. Her role sent her to Mexicali, Mexico for filming from May to late July, and required her hair to be dyed a light red. [29] Larter explained her character Claire: "She became the leader of this convoy. She's incredibly strong, patient. I think she serves a role for everyone within this convoy, let it be a mother to someone, a buddy, a best friend." [29] Despite negative reviews, the film made a total of US$147 million worldwide. [5] Also in the same year, she appeared with Hayes McArthur in the comedy Homo Erectus and appeared as Evelyn Garland in the biographical drama Crazy , based on guitarist Hank Garland.[ citation needed ]

[36] The film follows an office executive (Elba) whose marriage to Knowles' character is threatened by the aggressive interests of a co-worker, portrayed by Larter. In an interview with Glam, Larter said that she "was excited to get the chance to play a femme fatale. I love playing women that are dark and vulnerable and sort of filled with a little bit of crazy emotion." While the film was released to mixed reviews, Larter was critically praised for her performance. [37] Derek Malcolm of The London Evening Standard felt that the movie was a "dim reworking of Fatal Attraction " and noted: "Larter as the pathological minx is the best thing about it."

[5] It resulted in Larter's third Teen Choice Award nomination and an MTV Movie Award for Best Fight with Beyonce. [40]

[41] [42] [43] Like the previous Resident Evil entries, the film received negative reviews but became a major commercial success, earning US$296 million worldwide. [5] On returning to the role of Claire, she stated in an interview with JoBlo.com: "I guess people liked me as her [...] I'm excited that they brought me back [...] To work with the man [Paul W. S. Anderson] who really created this world and this vision was what excited me about joining this next installment". [44] In 2010, Larter appeared as the title character in a short film for Absolut Vodka entitled "Lemon Drop".

[49] Released the following year at South by Southwest, [50] it was distributed for a VOD and limited release in certain parts of United States only. The film received largely mixed reviews; Gary Goldstein of Los Angeles Times felt that her "fraught, more seemingly complex [character] remains underdeveloped" in what he described as a "weak horror-thriller". [51]

Larter starred in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016), where her role of Claire teams up with Alice (Jovovich) and the Red Queen to save the remnants of humanity. [52] Despite a largely mixed critical response, [53] [54] with a worldwide gross of over US$312 million, [55] the film emerged as her biggest box office success.

Larter first appeared in the media when she portrayed the fictional character of Allegra Coleman in the November 1996 issue of Esquire .
