Occupation Actress/Model
Years active 1997–present
Moon Bloodgood (born September 20, 1975) is an American actress and model. She starred as "Lt. Blair Williams" in the Warner Bros. film Terminator Salvation alongside Christian Bale and Sam Worthington for director McG. Bloodgood previously starred in the films Eight Below for Disney and Pathfinder for 20th Century Fox.
Bloodgood was born Korinna Moon Bloodgood in Anaheim, California, to an American father of Dutch and Irish descent and a South Korean mother. Her father was stationed in Korea when he met her mother. Bloodgood is a former member of the Laker Girls. In 2009, she appeared for the fourth time on Maxim's Hot 100 list, at #20, her highest appearance. She was #99 in 2005, #53 in 2006, and #40 in 2007.
In Day Break (2006-2007), she portrayed Rita Shelton, the girlfriend of a detective who is framed for murder and arrested in the span of a day but continually finds himself reliving that same day. In 2007, Bloodgood starred as Livia Beale in the American science-fiction television series Journeyman on NBC.
She had a role in the movie Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which opened in February 2009. She starred as Blair Williams in Terminator Salvation, the fourth film in the Terminator series and reprised her role in the video game and the prequel series of short film Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series.
Terminator Salvation was garbage. As much as we wanted to love it, we just couldn't. However, its one redeeming factor was the opportunity it afforded many of us to see Moon on the big screen for the first time.
With a career previously focused on TV acting, (she even once played a stripper on CSI) it was only a matter of time before Moon was cast in a big movie role. At a career-turning point of 33 years old, we're hoping Terminator hasn't confined the Korean/Irish/Dutch actress into only further short stints on the likes of Burn Notice.
