Raised on an organic fruit farm in upstate New York, Kristanna Loken was raised by her mother Rande, a former model, and father Chris, a novelist and screenwriter. Her time was spent riding horses and studying dance, and when she was 15, Kristanna decided to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a model. Loken not only established herself in the modeling world, but immediately began landing television work, including a recurring role on the long-running daytime soap opera As the World Turns (1994), followed by a regular role on the ABC-TV series Aliens in the Family (1996).

In 2000, Loken made her film debut in the independent movie Gangland (2000), followed by two more independent films, Panic (2001) and Academy Boyz (2001).

From 2001 to 2002, she played the recurring guest role of A.D.A. Lisa Walensky in several episodes of the ABC-TV series Philly.
