Early life and background
Megan Denise Fox was born on May 16, 1986, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and grew up in the nearby town of Rockwood. Her parents separated when she was very young, and she and her sister were raised by their mother and later a stepfather after the family relocated to Florida. Fox attended Kingston Elementary School and later studied at St. Lucie West Centennial High School; she completed her final year of high school via correspondence after moving to Los Angeles at 17 to pursue an entertainment career.

Fox developed an early interest in performance after seeing classic films as a child. She began dancing at the local community center at age five, participated in school chorus and the swim team, and started modeling at 13 after winning an award at the American Modeling and Talent Convention in 1999. Her upbringing included strict household rules under her mother and stepfather’s beliefs, which she has described as limiting social activities and dating during her school years.

She has several tattoos and began tattooing herself at 18. Over the years she acquired multiple designs and later removed her first tattoo, a portrait of Marilyn Monroe, in 2011.

Career
Fox’s screen career began in the early 2000s. Her first film appearance was in Holiday in the Sun (2001), and she had early television work that included a 2003 appearance on What I Like About You. Her first feature film role of note was a supporting part in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004). She also joined the cast of the ABC series Hope & Faith in its later seasons, portraying Sydney Shanowski through the show’s conclusion in 2006.

Her breakout came in 2007 when she was cast as Mikaela Banes in the blockbuster Transformers.

She later starred as Jennifer Check in Jennifer’s Body and played April O’Neil in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Her filmography includes both studio tentpoles and genre projects, and she continued to receive attention for on-screen performances as well as for her public persona.

She began dating actor Brian Austin Green after meeting him on the set of Hope & Faith; the two were engaged in 2006 and married in 2010. Their marriage and subsequent family life attracted significant media attention, as did later developments in their relationship.

Her physical appearance and persona have been a visible part of her public identity: she is listed at approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall (163 cm) and 52 kg (114 lbs), with blue eyes and dark brown hair. Early modeling and later film roles contributed to her reputation as a high-profile public figure and sex symbol.
