Biography
Elisabeth Rohm was born April 28, 1973 in Dusseldorf,
Germany to German lawyer, Everhard Rohm and American mother, Lisa Loverde,
a writer (they divorced when she was 8.) Elisabeth attended Saint Andrew's
- Sewanee school in Tennessee. "I really wanted to go to boarding
school." she says. "I read A Separate Peace, and The Cather
in the Rye, and I had this fantasy of what it would be like." As
a child she had dreams of becoming a competitive equestrian. "From
5 to 11, I was training seriously. I had no life." Rohm began acting
during her freshman year at Sarah Lawrence College.
Elisabeth describes herself as ever evolving. " I'm not a girly girl.
I don't like to paint my nails. I don't want to be wooed. I ride horses
and I'm strong. I've always related to a lot of male characteristics,
but now as I get older, I realize I'm also a woman and I want to be completely
pampered and treated as a princess."
After Graduation, she worked briefly as an agent's assistant before landing
a role on One Life to Live. Her recurring part on Angel lead her to a
full-time job on TNT's drama, Bull, playing Alison Jeffers, one of six
young investment bankers who leave an established firm to start their
own. About preparing for her role on BULL Elisabeth said "I went
to the trading floor at Merril and the anxiety was surreal. I was shaking
and wanted a drink. I saw somebody lose $9 million. He knew it was just
a shitty day-what goes down, must come up. There was this sense of cool,
but utter terror."
One of Elisabeth's great passions is horse rideing. When asked about the
sexual aspect of horse riding. Elisabeth told FHM: " Even the clothes
are suggestive. Once I was wearing jeans and chaps from riding, and I
showed up to work, and George Newbern, who's a friend and my co-star,
was like. "Good God, you might as well just put arrows saying, 'Right
here!' because the opening are on your crotch and butt."
Elisabeth Currently resides in Los Angeles where she spends as much time
as possible with the love of her life, her nine year-old Thoroughbred
named Flash. Elisabeth has also branched out to writing, she recently
competed a novel and is seeking publication, and looking into the possibility
