Margo Harshman is an American actress best known for her roles in The Big Bang Theory and NCIS, among others. She studied dancing and gymnastics at the age of three, and at two years old, she was entering beauty pageants, so one could say that she has been preparing for her career as an actress her entire life.
Getting Started
Margo Cathleen Harshman was born on March 4, 1986, in San Diego, California. Her mother, Janelle, died of breast cancer in 2014, after struggling with the illness for 20 long years. Harshman has three older siblings – a brother and two sisters, as well as one younger brother.
She is a petite woman who stands at only 5’ 4” and weighs only 119 pounds. She has brown hair and blue eyes, and she is extremely photogenic, which of course has helped her career tremendously.
Harshman graduated from Foothill High School and showed an intense interest in acting at a very early age. She also showed a very early talent for the profession.
In 1997, she had a role in The Elf Who Didn’t Believe, and she followed that with films that include The Even Stevens movies, Simon Says, Rise: Blood Hunter, College Road Trip, Pretty Little Devils, Extreme Movie, Sorority Row, and many others.
In 2017, Harshman married a man by the name of Austen Hooks, although it is rumored that they have since filed for divorce. Before that, it was said that she also dated a man named Chris Marquette and the actor Josh Keaton, but it is unclear how long she dated either of them. One of her most significant roles was on the TV show Even Stevens, where she played Tawny Dean, as well as the many movies that were based on the series.
