Isabelle Fuhrman

Isabelle Fuhrman is an actress. She is best known for her roles as Esther in the 2009 horror film Orphan and Clove in 2012's The Hunger Games.

Fuhrman was born in Washington, D.C., but grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. Her mother, Elina Fuhrman, is a journalist who immigrated from Soviet Russia and has worked for CNN. Her father, Nick Fuhrman, is a former political candidate and business consultant.

Fuhrman's acting career began at the age of seven when a casting director from Cartoon Network spotted her waiting for her older sister Madeline Fuhrman and cast her for one of the shows, "Cartoon Fridays." Fuhrman made her big-screen debut just a few years later in the 2007 drama Hounddog. The same year, Fuhrman was chosen to star in the movie Orphan alongside Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard. Fuhrman was cast through an exhaustive nationwide search of young actresses to portray the lead in the Warner Bros. collaboration between Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way and Joel Silver's Dark Castle Entertainment.

Fuhrman's other credits include Grace O'Neil in the pilot episode of the 2006 television series "Justice," and a number of national commercials for such brands as Pizza Hut and K-Mart. Her performance as Gretchen Dennis (also known as Girl Ghost) opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt in a 2008 episode of "Ghost Whisperer" earned her a Young Artist Award nomination. Fuhrman has also appeared in comedy skits on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

In 2011, Fuhrman played Angie Vanderveer in the dark comedy Salvation Boulevard (based on the novel by Larry Beinhart), with an ensemble cast that included Pierce Brosnan and Marisa Tomei, and which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Also in 2012, Fuhrman voiced genetically enhanced assassin Victoria in Hitman: Absolution.

In 2012, Fuhrman played Clove, a career tribute who tries to kill the main character, Katniss, in the film The Hunger Games. Originally, she auditioned to play Katniss Everdeen but was too young to play the part as she was 14 at the time. She was called back to audition for Clove, and successfully got the part.

In 2015, Fuhrman played Tessa Johnson in eight episodes of the period drama TV show "Masters of Sex."
