You may not know her name, but you'd definitely know her face. She played the girl ready to have sex "right now" in Can't Hardly Wait, Whitney in Bring It On, and a member of Cordelia Chase's posse in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Actress Nicole Bilderback has been in so many of your favorite teen movies and TV shows, making her debut in Clueless , which celebrates its 20th anniversary. In the classic teen comedy, Bilderback played Summer, who was part of Cher Horowitz's cool clique.
More recently, Bilderback has had guest roles in TV shows like The Mentalist, Cold Case, Hidden Palms, and the original Heroes. In 2012, people thought the Korean actress was the Jane Doe suing the IMDB for revealing her age to be 40, but it wasn't her. Bilderback was able to make fun of this in a cute Funny Or Die video parody. According to an interview with Asiance Magazine, the Texas native came out to LA as a teen and booked her first jobs right away — commercials for Disneyland and Radio Shack. "After Clueless, a lot of other jobs were easier," she said. "Just having it on my resume, it was the big talk of the town at the time, all of young Hollywood wanted a role in that movie. I mean it was a huge deal. I had no idea."
