Kristanna Loken
Where you’ve seen her:
This gorgeous, 5'11" former model honed her acting chops on such lowbrow fare as
Mortal Kombat: Conquest and
Aliens in the Family, but thankfully, justice has been served on the most delectable platter, as she now gets to kick Arnold’s ass in
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
It’s a gas, gas, gas:
“When I got the [
T3] job, my manager said, ‘Kristanna, just enjoy this last year of anonymity, because afterward you’re not going to be able to pump your own gas.’ I feel ready. Why not?”
Packs a punch:
“My Krav Maga [Israeli form of martial arts] instructor told me, ‘Kristanna, you’re going to find yourself doing things you normally wouldn’t do.’ I just kind of went, ‘Oh, all right.’ Sure enough, one day I was locked out of my house and decided,
I’m just going to punch through the window and get in.”
Birthday suitor:
“In the back of my mind I kept thinking,
I’m fighting Arnold and I’ve got to be naked in front of the world. So that was enough incentive. I would work, like, 20 hours and work out constantly in my gym and my trailer because of the ‘birthing’ scene, as I call it.”
