Additional info: "It all started when I arrived on June 1st, 1972 in New Orleans Louisiana. From the very beginning I wanted to do things my own way. At three years old I would go to the pool and promptly remove my bathing suit (imagine that!) Okay, so I was a nudist toddler! We moved to a small town outside of Atlanta when I was ten. From here through high school I spent time in both New Orleans and Atlanta, the best of both worlds. The serenity and beauty of the country and the decadence of New Orleans!

In junior high and high school I tried many sports. Tennis, soccer, swim team, cheerleading. I learned to fish and we spent some time camping. What a peaceful way to start the day! After high school I went to West Georgia University to study a career in journalism. Quickly disenchanted by the salary and the long hours of studying I moved back to New Orleans to "find my path". I found instead a yearlong party with some very fun friends.

While visiting a few in Houston, I met a talent scout for Playboy who was also an amateur photographer. He asked if I wanted to pose for a fitness ad for World Gym. Being the shy girl that I am I replied " When do we shoot?". While shooting he asked if he could send my picture in to Playboy for a possible go as a centerfold. Not thinking too much about it I agreed. Two weeks later I received a call asking me to fly to Los Angeles for a test shoot!!! Never having been to LA was one thing but now I am going to stay at the Playboy mansion!! OHHHHHH Yea!!

Within the month I was approved as Miss May 1994. My experience with Playboy opened a world of possibilities. Late October of 1995 I packed my stuff and drove across country from New Orleans to that crazy tinsel town that I reside in today, LA. Three and a half years have gone by so let's see if I can re-cap the whirlwind experience between then and now for you.

Granted I had modeled for Playboy and even done a World Gym ad but now it was time to try modeling La style. One of my first jobs was for Venus Swimwear magazine. I was flown with nine other models to the Dominican Republic for a seven-day photo shoot. What a blast! Now I am hooked! The girls were all adorable and although we were at breakfast at 4:30 each morning and did not wrap until sunset each day it was a ball! Our "down" time consisted of jet-skiing (of course), and riding dirt bikes through town. The most beautiful sunset I have ever seen was from a villa in the mountains of the Dominican.

Leaving no stone unturned I decided to fully explore the print world. As well as appearing in numerous issues of Book of Lingerie I have also been on the cover of Frederick's of Hollywood, Venus Swimwear, Swimwear Illustrated, Salling catalogue of Denmark, Flirts catalogue, and a Molson beer poster! Modeling has taken me to places such as Hong Kong, Jamaica, Hawaii, Denmark, Canada. What a great way to see the world- for free! Modeling was great fun, but I started to get a little restless, so off to discover a new way to whet my appetite!

Realizing the world of possibilities I turned my attention to television and film. My first role was a feature film called Cover ME. First project and here I am doing a movie that stars Paul Sorvino! Okay I have seen the Godfather a few times! The perfect role to highlight my segue into acting- I played a centerfold -big stretch! Like I said the perfect way to start! The role was quite fun, I open the film the first 5 minutes or so and then I die. Isn't that the way all actors debut. Only one place to go from here: I got a role on Baywatch ! Another big stretch! After Baywatch I landed a role in two different episodes of Married with Children. That was a ball! This was my first introduction to a live audience. We had rehearsal Monday through Thursday and performed twice on Friday. Each of us little people was allowed to give a guest a pass to be in the audience. No pressure - first live audience - and people I know are watching! Things turned out great and married still remains one of my fondest memories to date. Guest starring appearances on Renegade, Silk Stalkings, Viper, High Tide, soon followed. These shows were all a lot of fun but the real fun came when I tried my hand at hosting.

The gossip show hired me to do an episode alone and one with two other playmates. This introduced me to yet another type of television. The day goes like this. Show up on location get script for all six segments - have thirty minutes to review it- and action! Somewhat hairy the first few tries, but so much fun! The segment with the other two playmates was shot at the playboy mansion. No fun to be had there right! We spent the episode playing pool and hanging out while delivering lines of course! Next hosting gig was for Real TV- if you have ever seen the show it is an extreme look at real life and amazing sports not at all up my alley.

Now I am ready for movies. My second film after Cover Me was for Andy Sadaris filming Day of the Warrior. We spent two weeks in Shreveport Louisiana filming the action scenes and the rest of the film was shot in Los Angeles. Put ten actors in a small hotel on a fun film and you have yourself the makings of a good time! Andy was great to work for and the cast got along like a co-ed fraternity. My second film Savage Beach was shot in part in Maui Hawaii. Oh, if I must go! We once again had entirely too much fun to be working. On this film part of our action scenes involved an on the water chase on jet skis- absolutely hated that. The last film I worked on was titled love stinks. The cast included Bill Bellamy, Tyra Banks, French , and many others. My first comedy! Which brings us to date on my current project, Black Scorpion. This TV series is a scifi action comedy that I have loved being a part of. My role is Babbette, the corrupt mayor's secretary. This is my first recurring role!! Think Batman and Robin- Zena! You will have to look for the red wig to find me- Babbette is a little outrageous! Black Scorpion will air on the Sci Fi channel Monday nights at 9pm starting January 2000!!"
