Her parents divorced when she was nine years old, and she has two half-siblings from her father’s second marriage, named Jenna and Harvey. Elisabeth went to Columbia High School, located in Maplewood, New Jersey, and later enrolled at Wellesley College, but transferred to Harvard University in 1985. However, her studies didn’t last long, as she decided to quit and focus on pursuing a career in acting.

Elisabeth’s career actually started when she was still in high school; she began appearing in commercials, and as a result was seen in TV advertisements for Burger King, and DeBeers diamonds, among other brands and companies.

At an early age, she worked closely with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lea Thompson, and other future stars. She made her acting debut in the television film “The Royal Romance of Charles and Diana” in 1982, and continued with other minor roles, such as Margie in “Somewhere, Tomorrow” (1983), while in 1984 she secured her first notable role, as Ali in the action-drama film “The Karate Kid”, co-starring Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio.

Rise to Prominence

Elisabeth continued quite successfully into the second half of the ‘80s, starring in several blockbuster films, including the adventure comedy crime film “Adventure in Babysitting” (1987) and the sci-fi adventure comedy “Back to the Future II”.

Nothing changed in the early ‘90s, as Elisabeth continued on her way to stardom, first with the supporting role in the romantic comedy film “The Marrying Man” (1991), starring Kim Basinger, Alec Baldwin and Robert Loggia, then the role of Lori Craven in the Golden Globe-nominated romantic comedy film “Soapdish” (1991), while in 1995 she starred alongside Nicolas Cage in the romantic drama film “Leaving Las Vegas”, for which she earned an Oscar nomination.mThe following year she starred in the thriller drama film “The Trigger Effect”, next to Kyle MacLachlan and Dermot Mulroney, and in 1997 in the action-adventure film “The Saint”, alongside Val Kilmer. Before the decade ended, Elisabeth starred next to Woody Harrelson in the mystery crime drama film “Palmetto” in 1998.
