MiniBio

She’s the actress best known for playing Summer Roberts on the popular TV show The O.C., a role she portrayed from 2003 to 2007. That performance really put her on the map, and fans of the series still remember her standout moments. After The O.C. wrapped up, she continued building her career with a recurring role in the CW series Hart of Dixie, showing off her range in a different kind of small-town drama. She also stepped into the world of film, appearing in the 2008 sci-fi movie Jumper—a project that turned out to be pivotal not just professionally, but personally too.

Before all the fame and red carpets, she got her start in high school, where she dove into theater and performed in various musical productions. It was clear early on that she had a natural flair for performing, and that passion eventually led her to pursue acting more seriously. From 2003 to 2006, she was in a relationship with Adam Brody, her co-star from The O.C., which drew plenty of media attention at the time.

Then came Jumper in 2008—a turning point. Not only did it expand her film resume, but it’s also where she met Hayden Christensen, the Star Wars actor who would become a major part of her personal life. The two began dating shortly after meeting on set, and their relationship spanned several years. In October 2014, they welcomed a beautiful daughter named Briar Rose, a moment that brought them immense joy. However, by September 2017, the couple decided to go their separate ways.

In 2020, she was linked to comedian and actor Bill Hader, sparking new interest in her dating life. Through every chapter—on screen and off—she’s remained a compelling figure in Hollywood, balancing her career and personal journey with grace.

Trivia

After graduation, she made her way to Los Angeles, where she quickly became part of the renowned Groundlings comedy troupe. While performing with the group, she also took on the role of instructor for new members, all while auditioning for television and film roles. Her first on-screen appearance came in 1993 with a guest spot on the series *SeaQuest 2032* (NBC, 1993–96). Over the next few years, Harris steadily built her resume, with a small role in *The Disappearance of Kevin Johnson* (1996), a recurring part as Simone on the family sitcom *Sister, Sister* (ABC, 1994–99), and a memorable cameo in Christopher Guest’s *Best in Show* (2000).
