Elisabeth Shue

Elisabeth Shue was born in 1963 in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S. Shue grew up with her three brothers William, Andrew and John. In 1984, she came to prominence for her role as Ali Mills in The Karate Kid. In 1985, she transferred to Harvard University and dropped out of it to pursue a career in acting. Ten years later, she returned to Harvard University and received a bachelor’s degree in political science in 2000.

Because of her trademark sweet-natured, Shue starred in some 80s classics such as The Karate Kid, Adventures in Babysitting and Cocktail. The success of these films laid the foundation to support Shue in her acting career. Now she is still shaping various images in movies and TV screens. She gradually got rid of the image of the girl next door and appeared in front of the audience as a mature woman. We believe the next stage of Shue is just around the corner.
