designer and her mother, Robyn, was a homemaker. She is of German,
Greek, Turkish and Welsh descent. She told InStyle, "I'm a mutt. I
have so much of everything in me, and half of it I don't even know.
German on one side; Greek, Turkish and Welsh on the other. My mom is
very olive-skinned; I get my blue eyes from my dad." She credits her
brother, Todd, as one of her most important inspirations, and mother
and grandmother as her role models.
As a child, she competed in many beauty pageants, and she won the Miss
Junior America pageant in 1987. Her first big break in show business
was her role on the television program Saved By The Bell, as nice girl
Kelly Kapowski, a role she continued playing in the short lived Saved
by the Bell: The College Years. This was very different from her next
major role, as a duplicitous vixen, Valerie Malone, on Beverly Hills
90210.
She later starred in the sitcom Two Guys and a Girl and the short-
lived action show Fastlane, as well as guest-starring on Just Shoot
Me!. Her transition to film has not gone well so far, as most of her
movies, including Love Stinks, have been critically panned. In 2002,
she appeared in the film Hollywood Ending by Woody Allen. In 2005, she
released a short (21 minute) film she had directed called Just Pray.
It placed at several film festivals and was the first major effort
from her new production company, Tit 4 Tat Productions.
