After the show's smashing debut in the summer of 2003, Rachel Bilson became a much-talked about new star and was featured in such magazines as Zink, Stuff, CosmoGirl, and YM.
Thanks to the popularity of The O.C., the show lasted for four seasons before it came to an end. During the show's successful run, Rachel Bilson made Maxim magazine's Hot 100 List in '05 and '06. She was also named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 2006.
The O.C. wasn't the end of Rachel Bilson's budding television career. In 2007, she was cast in the highly anticipated prime-time comedy Chuck alongside actor Zachary Levi.
She also received a role in the time-traveling thriller Jumper, which hit the big screen in '08. In it, she acted alongside boyfriend Hayden Christensen.
