She recently starred in a short film, 18, which debuted at AFI, about a young woman who must decide whether to remove her mother from life support.

What shes playing: Doubleday stars as Sheeni Saunders, an intellectual teen who captures the fascination of Nick Twisp (Michael Cera), a cynical, sex-obsessed 14-year-old who meets Sheeni while on vacation. When Nick realizes she is not interested, he comes up with an alter ego named Francois who has a mustache, a deeper voice and an edgy attitude to help him in his pursuit of Sheeni.
