Laura Vandervoort as Kara was one of the most highly-publicized additions to the cast of Smallville. Unfortunately, her character disappeared to the Phantom Zone by season's end. An episode in season eight will wrap up her storyline. Kara Kent, aka Supergirl, is Clark's cousin from the planet Krypton.
Born in Canada in 1984, Vandervoort's most major role before Smallville was on the Canadian series Instant Star.
