enVY Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Personal quotes "I am very proud to have done that. Ricky Martin was so sweet, like so not what I ever expected. And, it definitely helped me get back on my feet financially." - on starring in Ricky Martin's video for "She's All I Ever Had.""The pageant was such a fluke. I mean, I was living in an orphanage, and my foster mother bet me $150 to go out for this thing. Nobody, including myself, thought that a foster kid could be a beauty queen." - on being Miss Teen USA 1993"Ever since I was a little girl, I envisioned this exactly happening to me. Not necessarily doing a movie about strippers but being young and having somebody like a director like Michael see me and see something in me and take a chance. And have a process like we have had." - on her film Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2000) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ TAYLER Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 What a girl and what a life story, a screenwriter would have been laughed out of the studio if they'd come up with that. Yet truth is often better than any fiction that she might end up playing out on screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
