Shannon Elizabeth Fadal (born September 7, 1973) is an American actress and model. Elizabeth came to prominence in the 1999 comedy film American Pie.
She was born in Houston, Texas, and was raised in Waco. Her father is of Syrian and Lebanese descent, while her mother is of French, English, and American Indian (Cherokee Indian) descent. In high school, Elizabeth was very much interested in tennis, and at one point even considered a professional tennis career. She worked as a model before she began a career in film. In August of 1999, she appeared nude in Playboy Magazine.
She married actor Joseph D. Reitman on June 15, 2002, but separated in March 2005, and filed for divorce in late June.
One year before their divorce, she was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher's crew members. It has been speculated by some that it was the result of this (where her husband Joe helped participate in fooling her into thinking she was caught on a sex tape) that was the cause of their breakup.
