Carmen Electra: Actress and Model

Carmen Electra was born on April 20, 1972 in Cincinnati, Ohio as Tara Leigh Patrick. Carmen is an American Model, television personality, actress and singer. She attended Princeton High School for four years and then left to Los Angeles. There she met Prince and was persuaded to change her name to Carmen Electra. Carmen then signed a recording contract with Paisley Park Records. Later in March 1997, she appeared in cartoon form as the model for a character who's a singer and a vampire ("but a good vampire", says her publicist) in a comic book series called Embra.

Carmen then turned to television and appeared in various programs, only to appear soon later in Playboy magazine. This increased her appeal and she starred in Baywatch (with Pamela Anderson) and MTV's Singled Out. Electra became a household name after her marriage with Dennis Rodman, and is now married to Celebrity poker player and rock musician Dave Navarro.
