Early
life
Cavallari was born in Denver,
Colorado, the second of two children of Judith Spies (née Eifrig) and Dennis
Cavallari.[2][3]
When her mother divorced her
father, her older brother, Mike, moved with their father to Laguna Beach,
California, while she moved with her mother to the village of Barrington,
Illinois, a suburb an hour northwest of Chicago. She attended Barrington Station
Middle School, and graduated on to Barrington High School. After difficulties
adjusting to a new life with a stepfather and stepbrother, Cavallari moved to
California to live with her father. There, Cavallari was enrolled at Santa
Margarita Catholic High School for her sophomore year. After she attended a
Driver's Education course through Laguna Beach High School, her father enrolled
her in Laguna Beach High School.
Career
Reality
television
Cavallari was in her junior year of
high school when the first season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County began
production. At the time, she was involved in an on-and-off relationship with
senior Stephen Colletti. Cavallari's romance with Colletti caused a rivalry with
another cast member, Lauren Conrad. The love triangle became one of the series'
central plot lines. [1]
In May 2009 Cavallari confirmed
that she would be joining the cast of the popular MTV reality series The
Hills.[4] She appeared in the mid-season finale that aired on May 31, 2009, and
appeared as a regular in the remainder of the fifth season. She inked a deal
with MTV to appear as a series regular throughout two more seasons of the series
following the fifth.[5] The sixth and final season aired summer 2010.
Cavallari was on the 13th season of
Dancing with the Stars and partnered with two-time champion, Mark Ballas.
Despite having high scores, Cavallari was the third to be eliminated, shocking
the audience, judges, and fellow dancers alike. One of the judges, Len Goodman,
commented that he expected to see Cavallari dancing in the final. The cumulative
average of Cavallari's dances were higher than of contestants who had lasted
twice as long as she did.
Acting
After her stint on Laguna Beach,
Cavallari headed to Los Angeles and briefly attended the Loyola Marymount
University. She signed on the UPN reality television series Get This Party
Started, which premiered February 7, 2006. The series was canceled after airing
two episodes due to extremely low ratings. She guest starred on one episode of
another UPN series, Veronica Mars. She has appeared in numerous television roles
such as CSI: NY, Cane and Adventures in Hollyhood. In 2006, she signed on as
Crystal in the horror film Fingerprints. She also played a small role in
Wristcutters: A Love Story, an independent film, directed by Goran Dukic in
2006.
In 2008 she had a supporting role
as Summer in Spring Breakdown alongside Amy Poehler. The film was released
straight-to-DVD on June 2, 2009, and received mixed reviews. She also starred in
the independent film Green Flash alongside Torrey DeVitto. In 2009 she starred
in the independent American high school comedy film, Wild Cherry, as Trish,
which also starred Rumer Willis. She also starred in the straight-to-DVD film,
National Lampoon's Van Wilder: Freshman Year, as Kaitlyn. The film was released
July 14, 2009, to mixed to negative reviews.
Sep 1, 2010 - Starred next to Jaron
Lowenstein (Jaron and the Long Road to Love) in his Music Video, "Beautiful to
Me."[6]
Activism
Cavallari has been involved in the
"Until There's a Cure", public service advertising campaign, to raise awareness
and funds for AIDS and HIV research and vaccine development.[7] In 2006
Cavallari appeared in ads for PETA,[8] and has also appeared as a celebrity
spokesperson for "We Are Ellis Island", a campaign for the restoration of Ellis
Island.[9] In February 2009 she posed for the NOH8 Campaign in support of gay
marriage.[10]
In January 2010 she traveled to El
Salvador to do charity work. She told US Magazine, "It really put everything
into perspective and made me appreciate everything I have, seeing how happy and
excited the kids were was the best feeling in the world". [11] In March 2011
Cavallari traveled to Kenya, Africa, to do charity work with the non-profit
organization, One Kid One World. [12]
Personal life
Cavallari has previously dated her
Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County co-star Stephen Colletti and her The Hills
