Megan Fox, in full Megan Denise Fox, (born May 16, 1986, Rockwood, Tennessee, U.S.), American actress who was best known for her roles in action films, notably both the Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

Fox spent her early childhood in Tennessee, where she was raised in a Pentecostal home. She began taking drama and dance lessons at age five. Her parents later divorced, and her mother remarried and moved with Fox and her older sister to St. Petersburg, Florida. By the age of 13, Fox had begun acting and modeling; she won several awards at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Classmates at her Christian high school ridiculed her for her ambition to become an actress, so she finished her schooling by taking correspondence classes and later moved to Los Angeles.

Fox made her screen debut in the direct-to-video Holiday in the Sun (2001), a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen vehicle. In 2002–03 she appeared as Ione Starr on the TV show Ocean Ave. From 2004 to 2006 Fox had a supporting role as Sydney Shanowski on the TV sitcom Hope & Faith. Her breakthrough role came when she was cast as high-school heroine Mikaela Banes in Michael Bay’s blockbuster film Transformers (2007) and its first sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). She provided Banes’s voice for the video games Transformers: The Game (2007) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), as well as the voice for Superman’s girlfriend Lois Lane in the TV movie Robot Chicken: DC Comics Special (2012).

Eager to move beyond comic books and video games, Fox starred as a man-eating zombie in the black comedy Jennifer’s Body (2009), and in Jonah Hex (2010) she portrayed a prostitute with a heart of gold. In 2014 she appeared as the intrepid and ambitious broadcast journalist April O’Neil in the live-action big-screen reboot Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; she reprised the role two years later in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. In 2016–17 Fox had a recurring role on the TV series New Girl, playing Reagan (the latest “new girl”), a pharmaceutical sales representative. She later hosted Legends of the Lost with Megan Fox (2018), a television miniseries that explored popular ancient sites. Fox’s movie credits from 2019 included Zeroville, a mystery dramedy that was directed by and starred James Franco. In 2020 she appeared in the family film Think Like a Dog and the action thriller Rogue. In Till Death (2021), Fox was cast as a woman trying to evade two killers after being handcuffed to her dead husband.
