With long, curly red hair, porcelain skin and a loud, infectious laugh, actress Rachelle Lefevre is hard to overlook. But until she appeared as the bitchy bloodsucker Victoria in the 2008 smash hit Twilight, she’d been a relative unknown. Now with the hotly anticipated second film in the series, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, hitting theaters November 20 and two more films in the works, Lefevre is about to find herself in the glare of the spotlight.

“When I first got to LA, everybody said I was too ‘girl-next-door’ for edgier roles,” she says. “I ended up playing a stripper, an escort, a vampire and an off-her-rocker troubled poet. I keep playing roles that are not even close to the girl next door.”

A little while ago we posted adorable photos of Ashley, Kellan, and Rachelle for a photoshoot for Self Magazine. Now Self has a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot along with extra pics.

Rachelle spoke to Access Hollywood about New Moon tickets selling out, her departure from the saga, and her film Barney’s Version.
