Eisley bares an uncanny resemblance to a young Jolie, and shares the same dark hair, piercing eyes, porcelain skin and full lips as the Oscar-winning actress. Her Hollywood resume includes starring as Subject 2/Eve in Kate Beckinsale‘s Underworld: Awakening and appearing as main character Ashley Juergens on ABC’s teen drama The Secret Life of the American Teenager (opposite The Descendants Shailene Woodley).
