Following in her mother's footsteps, Kristanna Loken took up modeling at a young age. In 1994, she placed third at the Elite Look of the Year contest in Ibiza, Spain. This paved the way for several excellent opportunities in fashion, but it was acting that really attracted her. Her role as Danielle Andropoulos in the soap opera As the World Turns that same year, was the first short-lived TV stint for the teenage beauty.During the next few years, she took on roles in the comedy Unhappily Ever After, and the TV series Pensacola: Wings of Gold and Mortal Kombat: Conquest. Loken's recurring role in the drama Philly (a courtroom series that starred Kim Delaney) in 2001, helped audiences forget her big-screen debut in two film flops: Gangland (2000) and Panic (2001).Thanks to Kristanna Loken's role, which combined pure evil with maximum sex appeal, in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003), she was able to land starring roles in Ring of the Nibelungs (2004), BloodRayne (2006) and a role in the TV series The L Word.Then, in 2007, Kristanna Loken had a reoccurring role in the Sci-Fi channel's Painkiller Jane and in '08 she could be seen in In the Name Of The King.
