Michelle, the youngest biological child in the family, grew up with twelve foster children alongside her two brothers. Raised in a Catholic household, she attended East Buchanan High School, displaying an early interest in acting by participating in school plays. After high school, she relocated to Chicago for journalism studies at Columbia College. During this time, she kick-started her modeling career across the US, Europe, and Asia. Michelle left college in her final year to pursue an acting career full-time, moving to New York where she made her debut in several magazines and catalogs as a model before landing her first acting role.
Michelle’s breakout came with the role of Kimberly Woods in the TV series “Boston Public” (2002-2003) and her portrayal in the film “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” (2005) alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer. She also appeared in “Constantine” in 2005, but her scenes were eventually cut. Her other notable roles include appearances in “Eagle Eye” (2008), “Trucker” where she starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, and the critically acclaimed HBO series “True Detective”. In April 2016, Michelle was confirmed to join the cast of “Sidney Hall”, an independent feature film premiering in early 2017 at the Sundance Film Festival.
Michelle married graphic artist Peter White in August 2005, and they have two children. In 2011, she had a mole removed from her calf which was diagnosed as skin cancer.
