Thora Birch was born on a Thursday (as in Thor’s Day. Her father Jack, and mom Carol, named her after the Norse God Thor (”Thora” being the feminine), the God of thunder; she has a younger brother named Bolt. She began her career at age 4 with a cereal commercial and later did other commercials as well as some modeling. After working during most of her childhood, she finally got her break with American Beauty, which won 5 Oscar awards. Thora delivered a strong, effective performance as the alienated daughter of parents whose mid-life crises drive them to affairs and destruction; her acting was convincing and inspired, and once again received good reviews. A down-to-earth young woman in real life, she loves Italian food and diet root beer.
A performance you don’t want to miss: “Jane Burnham” in American Beauty (1999).
