[edit] Early Life

Cassandra Greene was born in Los Angeles, California to director Robert Greene and his wife, Tricia, the youngest of three children. Cassandra grew up in the L.A. area with her two siblings, Kailey and Westley. She attended public school until she was 17, when she graduated a year early due to skipping the 3rd grade.

[edit] Career

Despite her father's previous attempts to give his children a chance at a normal life by forbidding them to pursue acting until after graduating high school, Cassandra landed the role of Bailey in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants at the age of fourteen.

During her high school years following her first movie, she motioned to stay out of the spotlight by taking minor roles like Maertge in Girl with a Pearl Earring in 2007 and Lucy's Sister in Across the Universe in 2008, but her breakthrough role happened in 2007 when she was signed on as young Briony Tallis in Atonement. This role landed her a landslide Oscar win.

Shortly after graduating high school, she joined the cast of The Lovely Bones as Susie Salmon. Shortly after filming, she branched out into both television and comedy roles, playing Quinn in the show Glee. After finding the genre a refreshing change of pace but not what she was looking for, she began looking for more work, hoping for more praise like she received for her work as Susie Salmon.

Cassandra was offered the role of Jane in New Moon, part of the Twilight series. She turned down the role, citing her fear that the public would think she only received the part because of her brother West's lead role in the movies. The role later went to Aviva Marino.

Her next project will be Push, where she will play Cassie Holmes, a Watcher.

[edit] Personal Life

Cassandra is friends with Juliet Evans, whom she met after she was introduced to her family by her brother West. The two are now starring in Push together.
