Career

Lefevre, a regular customer, a Canadian television producer, overheard her hostess' insistence that she wanted to be an actress while serving as a waitress at a sushi bar in Westmount, a Canadian television actress. Lefevre's first audition for a role in the sitcom Student Bodies gave her the opportunity. She didn't have a head shot at the time, so she took a Polaroid snapshot. She didn't land the role but received a call back from the casting director, which led to a role in the Canadian television series Big Wolf on Campus in 1999, starring Stacey Hanson. Lefevre continued to shoot McGill but never finished a degree, but never completed a degree.

In 2002, Lefevre appeared in the film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, directed by George Clooney. She appeared in the television series Picking Up and Dropping Off with Scott Wolf, and See Jane Date, and she appeared in the romantic comedy Hatley High in 2003. She appeared in The Legend of Butch and Sundance, a Calgary-filmed television film. Lefevre appeared in the films Noel, directed by Chazz Palminteri and starring Penélope Cruz, and Head in the Clouds, also starring Cruz and Charlize Theron, along with Cruz and Charlize Theron. Lefevre filmed the mystery-thriller The River King in Halifax, opposite Edward Burns, in April 2004.

In 2005, Lefevre appeared on Fox's Life on a Stick, playing Lily Ashton, a mall fast-food restaurant employee, and later appeared on Fox's series Pool Guys. Charmed, playing Olivia Callaway on "Love's a Witch" on season five of Undressed, and appearing on ABC's short-lived series What About Brian for eleven episodes. Annie Cartwright, the female protagonist in ABC's Life on Mars, a David E. Kelley reimagining of the original British TV show Lefevre, was cast as Annie Cartwright. Gretchen Mol appeared in a pilot episode but was replaced by Gretchen Mol when the series was remade.

In the film Twilight (2008), Lefevre played the renegade vampire Victoria, based on Stephen Meyer's book of the same name. Lefevre wrote an eloquent letter to the director, expressing her desire to work with the filmmaker. Lefevre referred to her character as "completely evil, pure instinct, pure malice, and very feline." Lefevre spent lion attacks on YouTube to separate her character's movements from those of ordinary people after reading that the author used the word "feline" to describe her character's agility. In preparation for the wire work in the film, she took trapeze lessons. After reading Bram Stoker's Dracula at the age of 14, Lefevre spent hours designing the costumes for her character and described herself as "obsessed" with vampires.

Lefevre's innocence was often overwhelmed by the scrutiny she received from her involvement with Twilight. "It's the nearest I will ever come in my life to being a rock star," she said at The Canadian Press in November 2008, where over 1,500 fans showed up in Toronto. Over 2,500 people attended a Wal-Mart in Salt Lake City, where Lefevre appeared to promote the DVD release of the film. Nonetheless, Lefevre expressed herself as ecstatic by the fans' intrigue and admiration. She appeared in New Moon, the film's sequel based on Meyer's second book, which she completed in Vancouver in May 2009.

In Eclipse, the third film in the Twilight series, Lefevre did not reprise her role as Victoria, and she was replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard. Summit Entertainment, the film's producer, attributed the change to scheduling conflicts; Eclipse and Barney's Version, an independent Canadian film, opened on August 17, 2009. In a statement to Access Hollywood, Lefevre said she was "stunned" by the decision and was "deeply sad" not to continue her portrayal of Victoria, and she never thought she would "lose the role due to a ten-day overlap." "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is an ensemble performance that must fit the schedules of many actors while still respecting the filmmaker's established creative vision and, most importantly, the story," the studio said in a counter-statement. Lefevre had appeared at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con to raise the New Moon the weekend before she was fired.
