Early life

Swain was born in Santa Monica, California, the daughter of Cindy (née Fitzgerald) and David Swain, Sr., an electrical engineer.¹ Swain grew up in Malibu with four siblings and was a straight-A student at Malibu High School. In 1993, Swain was a stunt double in the film The Good Son. Her sister is the actress Chelse Swain.

Career

In 1995, Swain was chosen from 2,500 girls to star in the controversial remake of Lolita; the film was released in 1997. Shortly after, Swain starred as the rebellious daughter of John Travolta in the action film Face/Off. After Face/Off, she starred in many independent and low-budget films including the award winning Southern Gothic suspense movie Plain Dirty, in which she played the lead role as the battered wife Inez.

In 2002, Stuff magazine named her #79 of the "102 Sexiest Women In The World."

In February 2007, she was the cover girl on Stuff. That same month, she appeared in the straight-to-DVD horror movie Dead Mary. In the late 2000s, she appeared in the Nickelback video for "Rockstar". She lip syncs the lyrics while lying in a bathtub filled with bubbles. She has also appeared in the videos for Shaun Mullins' song "Lullaby", the Sky Parade song "Losing Control", and the video "We Are All Made of Stars" by Moby.

Personal life

Swain is a spokesperson for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). At the age of 21, she became the youngest model to pose nude for PETA. In the Lolita-esque ad, set in a classroom, she stands at a blackboard writing, "I'd rather go naked than wear fur". The caption below reads: "Kindness Is a Class Act." She has erroneously been reported to be a vegan or vegetarian in the past, but this was probably an incorrect assumption based upon her support of PETA's anti-fur campaigns. Swain says:

“

Everybody thinks people who promote PETA don't eat meat, but I think animals were made to be eaten. I take my part in the food chain very seriously. I eat meat, the rarer the better. I just don't think animals should be slaughtered for their fur.2
