She first gained widespread recognition for her role as Jackie Burkhart on the popular TV series That ‘70s Show, a performance that truly put her on the map. From there, she transitioned successfully into film, starring in a string of hit movies such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Friends with Benefits, Ted, Bad Moms, and the critically acclaimed Black Swan. Alongside her live-action work, she’s also made a lasting impact through voice acting—most notably as the voice behind Meg Griffin on the long-running animated series Family Guy.
Interestingly, her journey in entertainment began at a young age. She enrolled in acting classes when she was just nine years old, where she not only honed her craft but also met her future manager—a pivotal moment that helped shape her career path. Before reaching superstar status, she was in a high-profile relationship with former child star Macaulay Culkin, which lasted from 2002 until 2011. Later, her personal life took another turn when she married her That ‘70s Show co-star Ashton Kutcher in July 2015.
Family has always been central to her life. She and Kutcher welcomed their first child, a daughter named Wyatt, on October 1, 2014. Then, over two years later, they expanded their family again with the birth of their son, Dimitri, on November 30, 2016. Through every phase—acting milestones, personal relationships, and motherhood—she’s remained a prominent figure in Hollywood, consistently evolving while staying true to herself.
She first stepped into the world of cinema with her big screen debut in the 1995 film Piranha, marking the beginning of what would become a solid acting career. Before she became widely recognized for her leading role on That ‘70s Show, she made several appearances on popular TV series, gradually building her experience and visibility. Over time, she showed up in memorable roles on shows like Days of Our Lives, Baywatch, 7th Heaven, and Walker, Texas Ranger. It was clear from early on that she had the talent and drive to succeed, and each role brought her one step closer to stardom. Her journey through these series helped shape her craft, setting the stage for the breakthrough moment she’d eventually have on That ‘70s Show.
