At the age of 12, she was discovered by a talent agency and became a print ads model for Dulux Paints and Pringles. At age 14, and after auditioning in different television pilots, she was chosen to play the role of Mary Camden in the TV drama 7th Heaven.
          When she appeared topless on the cover of Gear magazine March 2000 issue (SEE cover page), it created a controversy because she was not yet 18 years old when the photo was taken. The producers of 7th Heaven filed a case against Gear magazine. According to Biel, she regretted doing it and considered it a “learning experience.”
