Evan Rachel Wood is a popular American actress who began her career as a child actor, continuing to surprise directors and audiences with her diverse, challenging film roles and musical talent. Net worth: $10 million.
Childhood and first film roles
Born into an acting family of Jewish and French heritage, Evan Wood grew up at Theatre in the Park, which was run by her father Ira David Wood III. She took part in her father's stage performances in early childhood many times. For instance, she made her stage debut before her first birthday. Although Rachel doesn't remember this, she knows from her family stories that her first performance was A Christmas Carol by Dickens, where she played Ghost of Christmas Past.At age 7, Rachel landed her first film role as little Susie in the drama Bitter Blood. Her filmography grew rapidly with new roles, and by age 10, she had appeared in 10 films and TV series.



Actor's career. Best roles
Wood got her first taste of working with A-list celebrities in the film Practical Magic, where 11-year-old Evan shared the screen with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock.


For example, Evan and British actor Jim Sturgess played Lucy and Jude, characters inspired by different Beatles songs. Their love story unfolded against the historical and cultural backdrop of the '60s. The film is filled with fascinating allusions—for example, in one scene Jim and Evan recreated the famous photo of Yoko Ono and John Lennon from a Rolling Stone cover down to the smallest detail.

That same year, Evan Rachel Wood was invited to join the cast of True Blood's second season alongside Anna Paquin and Alexander Skarsgard. The series follows vampires living among humans after scientists invented synthetic blood alternatives, and remained popular throughout its entire run.
Aristocratically pale Evan was just made for the role of Gothic vampire queen Sophie-Anne Leclerq. During the series' run, the actress became deeply attached to her character and later said many times that she'd love to play another strong, self-confident woman.


In 2016 Evan Rachel Wood landed the lead role in HBO's ambitious new series Westworld. She transformed into an android named Dolores, who's virtually indistinguishable from a real person. Every day is identical to the last because she works at a themed entertainment park where her memory gets wiped each night—until the program malfunctions.


In 2018 she worked on Westworld's second season while also filming the drama 'Viena and the Fantomes' with Dakota Fanning and Zoe Kravitz. The actress keeps an incredibly busy schedule, often juggling multiple projects at once.

Evan Rachel Wood's private life
The actress's youth was quite wild. At 17, Evan met Edward Norton on the set of Down in the Valley, and soon tabloids were buzzing about their passionate romance despite the significant age difference.
She loved his provocative image, felt completely comfortable with him, and took it as a compliment when people said she was as edgy as Manson. During this time, Wood underwent a dramatic transformation: the natural blonde dyed her hair dark and started appearing in public with Gothic looks. Many saw the influence of Manson's ex-wife, dancer Dita von Teese, in this image transformation.


Evan Wood is frequently photographed and filmed, so journalists have lost count of the actress's tattoos. Two of the six tattoos that journalists have documented are reminders of her past relationships with Manson and Jamie Bell.
