Bio:

Christian Marie Serratos was born on September 21, 1990 in Pasadena, California. Her mother’s earlier path in acting influenced her, and as a young child she would practice by reciting lines from television for her family. She began modeling at age seven with Ford Modeling Agency and just a year later broke into the world of acting and commercials.

In her career thus far, Christian has already been successful in a number of acting roles. In 2004, she landed a starring role of Jillian in the independent film Mrs. Marshall. Since then she has made appearances on a number of television shows including Zoey 101, 7th Heaven, Hannah Montana, and Miss Guided. She also had a co-starring role Cow Belles, a Disney Channel Original Movie that aired in 2006. Currently, she is best known for her recurring role on the Nickelodeon show Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, which ran for three successful seasons, as Ned’s crush “Susie Crabgrass”. She was nominated by the Young Artist Awards for Best Performance in a TV Series for a Recurring Young Actress for that role in 2008. In addition to her roles on film and television, she shot a “Healthy Pets ACT” video for PETA TV along with several other actors and actresses.

Outside of acting, she enjoys competitive figure skating, horseback riding, shopping, and dance, of which she is trained in ballet, hip-hop, and jazz. She also likes spending time with her friends, playing with her miniature poodle dogs, and watching both new and old movies. Her favorites currently are Tristan and Isolde, the Little Princess, Practical Magic, and The House of Yes. In addition, Christian is very passionate about music. She is a talented singer, and has recently been working on a pop/rock album. Her song “Why are Boys Like That” is available for downloading now on her myspace page. Besides singing, she enjoys listening to the music of Queen, Fiona Apple, Christina Aguilara, Regina Spektor, Sublime, No Doubt, Roisin Murphy, and Linda Perry.

On February 21st, 2008 it was confirmed that Christian will be playing Angela Webber, one of Bella Swan’s first friends she meets in Forks, in the Twilight Movie. On her Myspace blog she stated she is “very excited” to have the role, and that since being cast she has read and become a fan of all three books. She has even visited Twilight fan sites, including the Lexicon.

Also, this quote from Seth, the webmaster, was put on the Midnight Sun page, "June 2008 Update: In response to the outrageous number of emails that I have received with questions concerning Midnight Sun, I talked to Stephenie this weekend and she asked me to let everyone know that Midnight Sun is her next project. She has not yet finished writing it (and there is no timeline set up, so we all need to put a lot of effort into being patient for a while longer), but she is definitely still planning on having it published. And, after Breaking Dawn comes out, Stephenie will have much more time to focus on writing Midnight Sun."
