Biography

Personal life
Greene was born in Jacksonville, Florida to Joe and Michele Greene. She moved to Los Angeles, California at the age of 17 to pursue an acting career. Greene has one sibling, Joe, who still resides in Jacksonville with her parents.

Career

Greene initially planned to become a model, but was told that she wasn't tall enough to be a runway model and should instead focus on commercials. After taking commercial and acting classes, she fell in love with acting and realized that she preferred it over modeling. Greene thus graduated high school early at the age of 17 and moved to L.A. to pursue an acting career. Though her career is still evolving, Greene has starred in the music video for 'Kiss Me, Kill Me' by Mest and has appeared as a guest on many popular television programs, such as "Punk'd" and "Crossing Jordan", as well as in an iPod commercial. Greene's big break came in 2008 when she was cast as Alice Cullen in "Twilight", a film based on the novel of the same name by Stephenie Meyer.
