The actress best known for playing Ruthie in Wild Child and portraying Alexa in Get Real had a string of notable roles early in her career. She brought the character Josie Medieros to life in Blue Moon, and in 2010, she appeared in the film Holy Rollers. That same year, she made the decision to step back from acting, announcing a hiatus so she could fully focus on college — a move that showed her dedication to personal growth beyond the screen.
Before fame found her, this talented performer was already making waves as the Pepsi Girl during the late ‘90s and early 2000s. In fact, her journey into the spotlight began at just seven years old with a series of Pepsi commercials that launched her career. Born into a supportive family, she is the daughter of Amy and Barry Eisenberg. She shares a close bond with her sister Kerri, and interestingly, she has an older brother who’s also made a big name in Hollywood — none other than acclaimed actor Jesse Eisenberg.
Throughout her time in the industry, the actress maintained a grounded presence, balancing early success with a desire for normalcy and education. Her story stands out not just because of her roles, but because of the thoughtful choices she made along the way. And even though she stepped away from the camera, her impact remains — especially for fans who followed her journey from the Pepsi ads to the silver screen.
She made her first appearance on the big screen in the 1998 movie Paulie, where she played a young girl who shared a special bond with a talking parrot. It was a memorable debut, and really marked the beginning of her journey in acting. Her performance stood out, especially for someone so new to the industry, and it’s safe to say that her role in Paulie helped lay the foundation for what would come later. She brought heart to the story, and audiences couldn’t help but root for her character. Looking back, it’s clear that this was the moment she started making her mark—she showed early promise, and the film remains a sweet part of her career history.
