Elisabeth Harnois
Elisabeth Harnois is the ethereal blonde who starred in the short-lived prime-time soap opera Point Pleasant (2005-06), in which she played Christina Nickson, Satan's daughter and a mysterious catalyst for drama in a small coastal town. Harnois began acting in film and television as a child, and as a young woman appeared as Alice in the series Adventures in Wonderland (1992). Point Pleasant debuted in 2005 with high expectations, thanks in part to its connections to the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan). Harnois's career in television includes guest roles in Charmed (2000), the daytime soap opera All My Children (2000-01) and, in half a dozen episodes in 2006 and 2007, One Tree Hill (starring Chad Michael Murray). Her feature films include Strangers with Candy (2005, starring Amy Sedaris), Pretty Persuasion (2005) and Chaos Theory (2007, starring Ryan Reynolds).
