Megan Fox, in full Megan Denise Fox, (born May 16, 1986, Rockwood, Tennessee, U.S.), American actress who was best known for her roles in action films, notably both the Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. By the age of 13, Fox had begun acting and modeling; she won several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Classmates at her Christian high school ridiculed her for her ambition to become an actress, so she finished her schooling by taking correspondence classes and later moved to Los Angeles.
