Though Julianne was discovered as a dancer, the Sandy, Utah-born talent actually moved to Los Angeles to act and ultimately became Young Hollywood’s fastest-rising triple threat. After appearing in the star-studded Golden Globe-nominated Burlesque in 2010, Julianne landed three headline-grabbing female leads in a row: 2011′s Footloose (as Ariel Moore), which has grossed over $60 million worldwide; Adam Shankman’s Rock of Ages (as Sherrie Christian), alongside Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand and Mary J. Blige in 2012; and 2013′s film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ romantic thriller Safe Haven (as Katie Feldman), co-starring with Josh Duhamel. Julianne has also completed production on Diablo Cody’s Paradise starring opposite Octavia Spencer, Holly Hunter and Russell Brand, which is due in September 2013. She will also star in Cody’s romantic dramedy, Time and a Half. She was named Female Rising Star of 2011 by ShoWest.
