"To be an actress and act crazy is really fun for me, to be able to be acting like you'd never be able to act in your real life and scream and freak out. It's an interesting test for an actor."
Alexandra Anna Daddario (born March 16, 1986 in New York City) is an American actor and model, instantly recognizable for her blue eyes, which are quite mesmerizing.She's perhaps best known for playing Annabeth Chase in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians film series, but has since gained attention for her roles in film and television, such as San Andreas, Texas Chainsaw 3D, True Detective, White Collar and The White Lotus, for which she received an Emmy nomination.
Her brother, Matthew Daddario, best known for playing Alec Lightwood in Shadowhunters, is also an actor, as is her sister Catharine.
In 2022, she married producer Andrew Form, ex-husband of Jordana Brewster.

Tropes
- Ms. Fanservice: In True Detective, where her full nude scene made everyone take notice. Even the President. (There's actually a subreddit devoted just to that scene.) Also in Texas Chainsaw 3D, San Andreas, and Real Life, as she is also a model. And she starred in the 2017 Baywatch movie... (which sees her working with Dwayne Johnson. Again.) She is clearly aware of being potentially typecasted as this kind of character and will occasionally poke fun at this status, mainly through her
◊ Twitter◊:Stuffed my titties into a dress and on my way to the Sydney premiere of Baywatch (2017) #titties - Nice Girl: Her roles in Burying the Ex, When We First Met, The White Lotus, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia all have her playing very sweet and affable people.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Most of the time in her roles. She has these looks naturally, and they're rarely changed.
- Statuesque Stunner: She's 5'8" and very beautiful, so her characters qualify.
