Amber dropped out of her strict Texan Catholic school at the age of 17, disillusioned with religion after the death of her best friend.
She headed to New York to start a career in modelling, but soon packed her bags and moved to LA to get into acting. TV appearances, including a cameo as a salesgirl in The O.C. reaffirmed that performing – not posing – was where she wanted to be.
Her first title role was in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane. The horror film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2006, but it didn’t see the light of day until 2008. By this time, she was already well-known for her part in the gang comedy The Pineapple Express. Talk about taking on a fruity role to make you famous.
