Career
File:Ashley Greene 2009, 2.jpg in January 2009]]
She initially planned to become a model, but was told that she was not tall enough at {{convert|5|ft|5|in}} to be a fashion model and should instead focus on acting in commercials. After taking commercial and acting class, she fell in love with acting and realized that she preferred it over modeling. Greene graduated from high school early and moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
Early in her career, she appeared as a guest on such television programs, as Punk'd and Crossing Jordan. Greene's big break came in 2008, when she was cast as Alice Cullen in The Twilight Saga series of films, based on the novel series of the same name by Stephenie Meyer. The series consists of the films Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which were respectively released in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.{{cite web | author=Jocelyn Vena | title=Ashley Greene Says 'New Moon' Script Tops 'Twilight' | url=http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1605673/story.jhtml | publisher=MTV | date=February 23, 2009 | access-date=March 30, 2009 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090312080100/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1605673/story.jhtml| archive-date= 12 March 2009 | url-status= dead}}{{cite web |title=Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Elizabeth Reaser, Nikki Reed, and Billy Burke Sign on to BREAKING DAWN; Plus Three New TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE Posters|url=http://www.collider.com/tag/the-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn/|website=Collider |date=May 19, 2010 |access-date=May 20, 2010 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100526013340/http://www.collider.com/tag/the-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn/| archive-date= 26 May 2010 | url-status= live}}
