Biography
Reid began her career at the age of six on a 1982 game show for children called Child's Play. As a child she had roles in a number of commercials for McDonald's, Crayola, and Jell-O. She grew up in New York City while attending the Professional Children's School alongside such celebrities as Ben Taylor, Jerry O'Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Macaulay Culkin. Although her breakout role would have to wait for American Pie in 1999, cult followers of the 1998 film The Big Lebowski already knew her as Bunny Lebowski.
Her engagement to MTV DJ Carson Daly ended in 2001.
On the night of Thursday, November 4, 2004, Reid was embarrassed by a wardrobe malfunction at a highly publicized photo shoot at
P. Diddy's 35th birthday party at Cipriani's Restaurant in New York when her dress fell, exposing her left breast.
The photographs were subsequently distributed far and wide. A comparison is often made to Janet Jackson's accidental exposure during her performance at
Super Bowl XXXVIII.
