Early Career
Yustman started her acting career extremely young when she took on a minor role in the movie Kindergarten Cop as “Rosa” which came out in 1990
.
Since then, she graduated from Woodcrest Christian High School in Riverside, California. Of course, as beautiful as she is, it also lead to her being crowned the homecoming queen. She eventually turned to modeling and got a few acting roles through the years before she hit it big.
Some of the roles she appeared in were Danielle Steel’s Remembrance (1996 – TV), Dear God (1996) and Quintuplets (2004).
She eventually was cast in Jennifer Lopez’s South Beach in 2006 where she played Arielle Casta.

Bigger Roles
Odette Yustman The Unborn
Although, Odette Yustman had numerous roles on TV shows and movies, none of them were featured roles. That soon changed in 2008 when she was the leading lady in the action monster thriller Cloverfield in which she played Beth McIntyre.
Later in 2008, she was the leading actress in the scary movie The Unborn.
Her career seems to be taking off more and more as you continues to get these major roles in these movies.
Personal Life
Although, rumors have surfaced on who she is dating, she is actually engaged to actor Trevor Wright. (Darn!)
She grew up in California but as of 2007, she resides in Atlanta, Georgia.

She is a brunette and has brown eyes as you can see in all the pictures.
