Shannon Elizabeth made a name for herself as the foreign exchange student Nadia in the teen sex comedy American Pie, starring in the film's most famous scene, as she performs a sexy strip for Jim (Jason Biggs), only for him to, ahem, blow it and ruin the whole thing. Nudity is always an easy way to ingratiate yourself to the teen audience, and she certainly succeeded, though oddly for an industry as superficial as Hollywood, her career never really seemed to take off. After starring in the first American Pie sequel, as well as Scary Movie and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (we're seeing a pattern here), she pretty much faded into obscurity for a decade until re-appearing for a brief cameo in the fourth theatrical American Pie film, American Reunion. Simply, Elizabeth wowed us in one role and then quickly descended into nothing.
