Previously known as a shy tomboy youngster who was the only girl on her Little League baseball team, people of her surroundings probably had never thought of Amy Smart to become a public figure in the entertainment industry. Raised in Topanga Canyon, California with her brother, Adam Baird, since the day she was born on March 26, 1976, this lovely blonde is the daughter of a salesman named John and Judy Smart, an employee of the local J. Paul Getty Museum. Her involvement in show business began when one of her friends dragged her to modeling field. "Vinessa Shaw suggested me as a replacement in a photo shoot," she recalled. "And I got the job. Suddenly I was getting assignments to travel places like Italy, France, Mexico and Tahiti."
Gained more confidence within her, Amy then turned her attention to performing arts as she was inspired by Vinessa who also developed an acting career.

"And that's so fascinating to me." After two years of learning, she started to enter some auditions and managed to appear in the 1994 MTV Rock The Vote campaign, playing a strung-out supermodel.
