Ashley Scott rose to prominence in the early 2000s, appearing in a string of films alongside major Hollywood names.
One of her most notable roles came in the 2005 underwater adventure Into the Blue, where she starred with Jessica Alba, Paul Walker and Scott Caan as divers who stumble upon cocaine while searching for treasure. The former model became especially memorable for her appearance in a white bikini, showcasing her striking figure.
The Louisiana-born actress also teamed up with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in 2004’s Walking Tall, playing a part in the story of a U.S. Army soldier who returns home and confronts corruption after becoming sheriff. She later appeared in the 2007 thriller The Kingdom alongside Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman. Now 48, Scott still looks remarkably similar, as seen in her recent social media posts.
Born in Louisiana in 1977 and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, Scott began modeling after becoming a finalist in the 1993 Elite Model Look competition. As a teenager, she traveled internationally for work, serving as a Giorgio Red spokesmodel and landing bikini shoots in Miami along with assignments in Paris and London.
Her film debut came in Steven Spielberg’s 2001 movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence, where she played Gigolo Jane. She then landed a bigger role opposite Johnson in Walking Tall before gaining further attention in Into the Blue. In 2007 she appeared in The Kingdom, and in 2009 she starred in 12 Rounds with wrestler-turned-actor John Cena.
Scott also built a strong television career. She played Asha Barlow opposite Alba in the Fox sci-fi series Dark Angel in 2001, and later starred with Skeet Ulrich for two seasons of Jericho, which followed a Kansas town after a nuclear disaster. In 2015 she joined the first season of Lifetime’s UnREAL as Mary.
She also voiced Maria in the 2013 video game The Last of Us and reprised the role in the 2020 sequel. In 2019, she appeared in the psychological thriller Secret Obsession with Brenda Song and Dennis Haysbert.
Scott was married to producer Anthony Rhulen from 2004 to 2008, and later wed British singer Steve Hart of the band Worlds Apart. The couple welcomed daughter Ada Bella Ray Hart in 2010 and another daughter, Iyla Vue Hart, in 2015. She now lives in Los Angeles with her children.
Recently, she shared a serene Instagram selfie wearing a white robe and reflected on her wellness routine, writing that spending time at a banya has been a healing practice and praising the powerful energy of women gathering together.
