PLACE: Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United State

Fox is of Irish, French and Native American ancestry and was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to Darlene Tonachio and Franklin Foxx, who dropped an “x” from his surname. She has one older sister. Fox’s parents divorced when she was young and she and her sister were raised by her mother and her stepfather. She said that the two were “very strict” and that she wasn’t allowed to have a boyfriend. She lived with her mother until she made enough money to support herself. Fox has also spoken of how poor she was when she was growing up and how she had to make her own toys.

Fox began her training in drama and dance at age five, in Kingston, Tennessee. She attended a dance class at the community center there and was involved in Kingston Elementary School’s chorus and the Kingston Clippers swim team. When Fox was 13 years old, she began modeling. At 10 years of age, after moving to St. Petersburg, Florida, Fox continued her training. Fox attended Morningside Academy, a private Christian school, for her middle school years and finished her high school education at St. Lucie West Centennial High School, though at 17 she was tested out of school via correspondence.

At 16, Fox made her acting debut in the 2001 film Holiday in the Sun, as spoiled heiress Brianna Wallace and rival of Alex Stewart (Ashley Olsen). The film was released Direct-to-DVD on November 20, 2001. The following year, Fox landed the lead main role as Ione Star on the television series Ocean Ave. The series lasted two seasons, from 2002-2003 and Fox appeared in 122 one-hour-long episodes. Also in 2002, she guest-starred on What I Like About You, appearing in the episode “Like a Virgin (Kinda)”. She was an uncredited extra in Bad Boys II in 2003. In 2004, Fox guest-starred on Two and a Half Men in the episode “Carmel Filters and Pheromones”. In the same year, Fox made her film debut in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen co-starring opposite Lindsay Lohan, playing the supporting role of Carla Santi, a rival of Lola (Lindsay Lohan). Again in 2004, Fox was cast as a recurring role on the ABC sitcom Hope & Faith, in which she portrayed Sydney Shanowski, replacing Nicole Paggi in the role. Fox appeared in 36 episodes from seasons 2 to 3, until the show was cancelled in 2006.

In 2007, Fox won the lead female role of Mikaela Banes in the 2007 live-action film Transformers, based on the toy and cartoon saga of the same name. Fox played the love interest of Shia LaBeouf’s character Sam Witwicky. Fox was nominated for an MTV Movie Award in the category of “Breakthrough Performance”, and was also nominated for three Teen Choice Awards, in the category of “Choice Movie Actress: Action Adventure”, “Choice Movie: Breakout Female”, and “Choice Movie: Liplock”. Fox has signed on for two more Transformers sequels. In June 2007, Fox was cast in a minor role in How to Lose Friends & Alienate People, starring alongside Jeff Bridges, Simon Pegg and Kirsten Dunst. She portrayed Sophie Maes, a love interest of Sydney Young (Simon Pegg). The film premiered on October 3, 2008, but was considered a box-office failure. In 2008, Fox appeared alongside Rumer Willis as the character Lost in Whore. The film centers around a group of young hopeful teenagers who have come to Hollywood in the hopes of an acting career find that the business is harder than they had ever imagined. The film was released October 20, 2008.

Fox will have her first lead role in a film, playing the title character in Jennifer’s Body, written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. She will play Jennifer Check, a mean-girl cheerleader cursed by a demonic possession who begins to feed off the boys in a Minnesota farming town. The film is set to be released on September 18, 2009. In addition to Seyfried, Fox also stars alongside Adam Brody. Fox reprised her role as Mikaela Banes in the Transformer sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. There was some controversy surrounding Fox’s appearance while filming the sequel of Transformers when Michael Bay, the movie’s director, ordered the actress to gain 10 pounds. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen premiered on June 8, 2009 in Tokyo, Japan. The movie was released worldwide on June 24, 2009.

In April, 2009 Fox began filming Jonah Hex, in which she will portray Leila, a gun-wielding beauty and Jonah Hex’s (Josh Brolin) love interest. The film, currently in production, is set to be released on June 18, 2010. The movie stars Josh Brolin and Will Arnett, and Fox described her role in the film as being a cameo. In early April, 2009 Fox signed on to star as the lead female role in the up-coming 2011 film The Crossing. The film is still in pre-production. The plot centers around a young couple who get caught up in a drug trafficking scheme during their vacation to Mexico.

Awards for Megan Fox

Honestly, as many nasty stories that leak out about Megan Fox from the staff of her film production crews about her having no talent and being nearly impossible to work with due to her terrible attitude, it is surprising she was ever nominated for anything but here's the list.

• Back in 2005, Megan Fox was nominated for the Young Artist Awards fro her work in the television comedy Hope & Faith in 2003.
• In 2007, the National Movie Awards in the UK nominated her for best female performance for Transformers. Needless to say, she did not win it.
• In 2007, she was also nominated for several Teen Choice Awards for her work in Transformers, but failed to win anything.
• In 2008, Megan Fox was nominated for an MTV Movie award. She failed to win the trophy for Breakthrough Performance for Transformers (2007).
• Next (and these are fun), Megan Fox was nominated for two Razzie Awards in 2009. One for her work as the leading character in Jennifer's Body and as worst actress for her supporting role in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (the sequel to Transformers).
• In 2010, Megan Fox was nominated for a People's Choice Award in the United States. Why? She was nominated for half the award -- as best on screen team for her work with Shia LaBeouf. She did not win it, either, even with his star power assistance.
