Thora was the eldest child of former adult film actors Jack and Carol Birch, who have managed her career since the start. As a child during the late ‘80s, Birch began appearing in advertisements for “Burger King”, “Quaker Oats” and “California Raisins” among others, then made her film debut in “Purple People Eater” in 1988, in a role which brought her a Youth In Film Award.

In 1996 she was cast in the leading role in the action-adventure film “Alaska”, after which she took a break from acting. She returned three years later, portraying the role of Jane Burnham in “American Beauty”, and being nominated for a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award, and earning several accolades including the Screen Actors Guild Award and Young Artist Award. Thora next appeared in supporting roles in “The Smokers” and “Dungeons and Dragons”, and in 2001 landed the lead role alongside Keira Knightley in the horror film “The Hole”.

The same year, she was cast opposite Scarlett Johansson in another lead role in “Ghost World”, and her performance brought her a nomination for a Golden Globe Award. Thora’s Emmy Award nomination came in 2003 for playing in “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”. She again appeared in horror films in “Dark Corners” and then in the 2008 slasher “Train”, portraying the leading role. Her net worth continued to rise.

During 2017, Thora is set to star in four films, including “The Etruscan Smile” and “Above Suspicion”.

Thora manages to keep her private life away from the public eyes, so there aren’t many details known. However, when it comes to her love life, she has had two public relationships, one with singer Fred Durst and the other with Bill Maher.
