Rachel Bilson out for a dog walking

Getting her exercise in with a nature outing, Rachel Bilson took her faithful pup Thurmen Murmen for a walk at Griffith Park in Los Feliz on Wednesday afternoon (October 29).
And though the former “OC” starlet seemed to be holding up well, her pet pooch was so worn out that Rachel had to carry him back to the car.
In related news, Miss Bilson is awaiting the release of her new movie “New York, I Love You,” along with “Waiting for Forever,” an indie romance directed by James Keach.
According to IMDB, the movie is “about a young man Will Donner (Tom Sturridge) who’s happily unemployed and heads to Hollywood to spend the rest of his life with a 25-year-old actress who also happens to be his childhood girlfriend Emma Twist (Bilson).”

Rachel Bilson

It actually took me a second to figure out that this photo shoot was of Rachel Bilson. She hardly looks like herself. Some shots remind me of Mandy Moore from a few years ago. In Style really did her justice. She looks beautiful in every single shot. Click on the thumbnails below to enlarge each picture.

Rachel Bilson

Rachel Sarah Bilson (born August 25, 1981) is an American actress. After growing up in a California show business family, she made her television debut in 2003 and subsequently became well-known for playing Summer Roberts on the prime time dramedy series The O.C. Bilson made her film debut in the 2006 film The Last Kiss, appeared as "Lou" on the NBC show Chuck, and will star in the 2008 thriller Jumper.

Bilson was born in LA, California to a Jewish American father, writer/director/producer Danny Bilson, and a Philadelphia-born Italian American mother, $ex therapist Janice Stango. Her father comes from a show business family; her great-grandfather, George Bilson, was the head of the trailer department at RKO Pictures, while her Brooklyn-born great-grandmother, Hattie Bilson, was a screenwriter and her grandfather, Bruce Bilson, is a film director. Bilson's parents divorced during her childhood, and in 1997, her father remarried Heather Medway, an actress and the mother of Bilson's half-sister Hattie (born December 19, 2001).

Bilson has been noted as having a "self-destructive, rebellious period" during her teen years. When she was thirteen, she and a group of her brother's friends were involved in a car accident, a head-on collision with another car. As a result, Bilson was unconscious for a few days, had a scar above her right eye, and sometimes suffers from migraines and memory loss; she has stated that the experience "changed" her, encouraging her to "stop... getting into trouble" and stopping her from "going down that road".

Bilson graduated from Walter Reed Middle School in 1996 and from Notre Dame High School in 1999. During her time at Notre Dame, she appeared in productions of Bye Bye Birdie, Once Upon a Mattress and The Crucible, and appeared on stage together with Katharine McPhee, who attended the same school and would later be a finalist on American Idol.
