OVERVIEW______________________

DATE OF BIRTH 3 June 1985, Brisbane, Queensland, Australian
BIOGRAPHY Tahnee, born Tatania Elise Chambers, was raised in Australian city Brisbane. She is the middle child of Daniel and Cheryl Chambers. Growing up, Tahnee was always close to her older brother, Kyle. School wasn't a pleasant experience for Tahnee. "It was my version of hell" is how she described it. Despite the adversities she faced, she managed to graduate. Within months, she had relocated from Brisbane to New Jersey, attending a community college with an undeclared major. Higher education was not for her and a few years after moving to the USA, she spontaneously tried out for the role of Alice Cullen in the popular Twilight books. It was there she met co-star and now boyfriend, Owen Lancaster. The pair just finished working on their newest movie together, where flames were said to have sparked.

PERSONAL QUOTES

• "I never thought that I could act. It was a spur of the moment decision for me, but I've found that I adore it. I get to live a life that works for me, as well as see new places and meet people I would've never thought I'd meet. The best part is that I get to do something that keeps a smile on my face and just makes me laugh. This is the best career I could've hoped for."
  
• "Twilight is a lot of fun to film for. Being a vampire is a lot of fun. I just wish that I got to bite people a bit more often. I guess I'll have to be content with ripping off Cash Cooper's head. [laughs]"
  
• "I was kind of weary when I got the role of Summer [in Summer's Blood]. I wasn't sure if I would do a good job. I guess I was worried that I'd be trying to look scared and end up looking constipated."
  
• "A lot of people are unnerved by my accent. It wasn't until my first interview that people actually knew I was Australian. I took that as a sign that I was doing my job correctly."
  
• "I want to do a movie where I get to carry a gun. It'd just be something that would give me a rush."
  

AWARDS

• 2009, Won Teen Choice Award: Choice Movie Fresh Face Female for Twilight.
