Executive summary: Enid from Ghost World As a 4-year-old, Birch made commercials for oatmeal, with Wilford Brimley playing her grandfather. At 5, she made her film debut in Purple People Eater with Neil Patrick Harris and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In her first sitcom she was one of the tots in the daycare comedy Day By Day. She later played one of Ed Begley, Jr.'s kids on the TV series of Parenthood.
As a kid, she got good reviews opposite Elijah Wood in Paradise, and played Harrison Ford's daughter in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. In more grown-up roles, she played Kevin Spacey's daughter in American Beauty, and the alienated student in Daniel Clowes's Ghost World.
She was 17 when she filmed her topless scene for American Beauty, but in California that is legal, so long as the Child Labor Board approves. Thora Birch's mother played the nurse in the porn classic Deep Throat, and both her parents co-starred in the sex western Bad Girl of the West and the tasty Candy Goes to Hollywood.
