Ashley
Michele Greene is an American actress and model, best known for playing Alice
Cullen in the film adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels. Greene was
born in Jacksonville, Florida, and is the daughter of Michele (n�e Tatum), who
works in insurance, and Joe Greene, a U.S. Marine who now owns his own concrete
business. She grew up in Middleburg and Jacksonville, and went to University
Christian School before transferring to Wolfson High School when she was in
tenth grade.
She moved to Los Angeles, California, at the age of 17 to pursue an acting
career. Greene has an older brother named Joe, who still resides in Jacksonville
with their parents.
Greene is good friends with her Twilight co-stars, particularly Kellan Lutz and
Jackson Rathbone whom she knew before filming of the series began. Greene has
stated that she grew up watching football and is a Florida Gators fan. She was
also seen attending a Green Bay Packers game against the New York Giants with
then boyfriend Joe Jonas and Jessica Szohr at Lambeau Field in 2010. In 2009,
nude self-portraits of Greene were leaked onto the internet. Her attorneys
threatened to sue various websites that published the pictures.
She initially planned to become a model, but was told that she was not tall
enough at 5'5" to be a fashion model and should instead focus on acting in
commercials. After taking commercial and acting classes, she fell in love with
acting and realized that she preferred it over modeling. Greene graduated from
high school early and moved to L.A. to pursue an acting career.
Since then, she has appeared as a guest on such television programs, as Punk'd
and Crossing Jordan. Greene's big break came in 2008 when she was cast as Alice

She reunited with her Twilight co-star Kellan Lutz in the movie A Warrior's
Heart and also stars in thriller film, Summer's Blood, as well as the Dark
Castle Entertainment production The Apparition, which began filming on February
1, 2010. Appearing nude in a bodypainted bikini, Greene posed for SoBe

Edition. She received "The Style Icon Award" at Hollywood Life�s Young Hollywood
Awards this year. Greene was also presented an award from the PETA foundation
