Nicole Houston "Nikki" Reed was born May 17, 1988 in Los Angeles.
She gained notoriety for her role in Thirteen for which she co-wrote the screenplay.
But to a new generation of fans she's now best known for her part as Rosalie Hale in the film adaptation of the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
Reed and director Catherine Hardwicke finished the script for the semi-autobiographical film Thirteen in six days, a relatively fast time for a Hollywood script to be written.
Producers asked Reed to play a role in the film because they had trouble casting it, considering it an "uncomfortable" role for most young actresses.
She went on to take a role in The O.C.
According to wikipedia, "Reed has written another script set in New Zealand between the 1960s and the 1980s." There's no further details on what that may be about - or what form it will take.
On February 12, 2008, it was announced that Reed would be portraying Rosalie Hale in the movie version of Twilight, which was directed by Catherine Hardwicke (whom she'd worked with on Thirteen).
She is close friends with her Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.
