Sophia Bush

Early life
Bush, an only child, was born and raised in Pasadena, California to Charles William Bush, one of the top advertising and celebrity photographers working in the United States today, and Maureen, a photography studio manager. Bush attended Westridge School for Girls (Pasadena) and the University of Southern California and was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, where she served as Social Chair. She attended USC for three years before getting the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill (2003). In 2000, she was the Tournament of Roses Parade Queen.

Career
Bush made her first big screen appearance in the comedy Van Wilder as Sally (the freshman who seduces Van and doesn't know who Air Supply is). Since then, she has made appearances in several television shows including Nip/Tuck, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and Punk'd after being tricked by her friend Brittany Snow.
She was cast as Kate Brewster in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines but was replaced by Claire Danes as the director thought she was too young. In 2003 she won the role of Brooke Davis in One Tree Hill. The show is one of The CW network's biggest hits and is exported all around the world. It was here she met future ex-husband Chad Michael Murray, whom she would divorce a few months later. Sophia Bush recently received the Rising Star Award of 2007.
In between working on One Tree Hill, Bush has been cast in many films, such as Supercross, Stay Alive, John Tucker Must Die and a remake of The Hitcher.
Sophia recently got a "Rising Star" award at Vail Film Festival for her work in The Hitcher.

Personal life
On April 16, 2005, Bush married actor Chad Michael Murray, her One Tree Hill co-star, but they announced their separation on September 26 after five months of marriage. Bush sought an annulment in February 2006. In December of 2006 Bush and Murray's divorce was made final.
