I
was born on August 6th, 1968 in Chicago, Illinois. Looking back now,
I guess I can say I was just like any other little girl with big dreams
of becoming a "movie star." I was always the entertainer and comedian
in the group. I insisted on having an audience no matter where I was.
Some of my interests as a child included gymnastics, ballet dancing
and animals. My favorite past time used to be dancing around the house
in made-up costumes and shoes that were five times too big for me.
Back then I think everyone just thought I was hyper active and very
annoying. As I grew older those dreams slowly faded away and I became
more of the nerd next door. Junior high and high school were not the
high light of my life. For some reason I just did not fit in with
the popular groups. Believe it or not, I was fifteen the first time
I kissed a boy. If I wanted a date for a school dance- I was the one
who had to ask. My senior prom date was my best friend! So to answer
everyone's question -"were you popular in high school?" The answer
would definitely be NO! In spite of my awkward teenage years and not
being voted "Prom Queen", I did however become a pom-pom girl and
was voted "Best Legs" in high school! So cheer up everyone because
the story gets even better. After graduating from Hugh Hefner's alma
mater - Steinmetz High, I met my first true love - Bob. This was my
first experience with a total control freak. (Advice for all you guys
out there..this is not how you keep a girlfriend!) Since Bob and I
had completely different ideas about being in a relationship things
did not work out. With that said, I decided to move to Kailua, Hawaii
with my girlfriend, some clothes and my pink 10-speed bicycle. Being
that we had very little money, we could only afford a very small termite
infested one-bedroom apartment. This was definitely not my break into
stardom. The only job I could get was on the Marine base as a waitress.
After a few months of "sawdust" coupled with being bored out of my
mind I decided to move back to Chicago. Not long after my return to
the Windy City, I found my second true love- Sean. After he signed
a contract with Atlantic records we moved to Los Angeles. At first
I loved L.A., but that wore off real quick. Eventually I found some
new friends and a job at The Hard Rock CafZÿ as a waitress. Staying
up late and sleeping all day led to somewhat of an irresponsible lifestyle.
Shortly thereafter, Sean and I broke up, leaving me in a state of
confusion as to what to do with my life. I knew that there had to
be something else waiting for me in this city of madness. Realizing
that if I wanted to get serious about a career, I would have to give
up a few things that I enjoyed. At this point in my life I decided
I wanted to become a model. So I set out to do just that and signed
with my first modeling agent. Within a month Playboy discovered me
and wanted me to be in the Books of Lingerie March/April 95 edition,
which led to my cover for the October 95 issue of Playboy Magazine.
Shortly thereafter I made my break into acting. I know it might not
sound like a big deal to you, but being able to act as a dead person
in Body Shot meant a lot to me at the time. Moving on to bigger and
better things! I started getting cast in movies such as; Midnight
Tease, Concealed Weapon, Caged Heat 3000, Starquest, Alien Terminator,
Showgirls, Criminal Hearts, Friend of the Family, Bad Boys, and I
like to Play Games. Basically things are still the same, but now I'm
getting better parts and more roles than before. If I'm not auditioning
for a movie role, I'm attending acting classes, doing showcases, or
modeling for Playboy, Image 2000 and various magazine companies. Other
than that, I enjoy working out, spending time with my friends, working
on my web site and answering my email. At the end of the day I like
to curl up with Mrs. C (my Basset hound), Isabelle (my Pekinese),
and my two Persian cats, B and Gizmo.
