Biography
Born in Los Angeles, California, in 1981, Rachelle Jade Bilson was always treated like a princess.

Throughout her childhood years, she learned how to wrap her older siblings and friends around her little finger, becoming that cute, sly girl that no one could help but love. In doing so, she proved she had a natural flair for dramatics even before hitting the stage or standing in front of a camera.
