Lisa's Biography

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 Café 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.

As for more recently, while I'm still attending acting class weekly, I'm no longer pursuing the acting as hard as before. That's not to say if a great role presented itself to me, I wouldn't jump on it. I'm still keeping my foot in the door..that's for sure. But my new love is definitely photography. If you wnat to see some of it, check out my photography section in the members area. I've also been shooting the MOM's as well as Misha. I find it an amazing feeling to be good at something and respected for something other than my body and the size of my boobs. After all, one has to hang up the g-string at some point right?? (not that I'm going to yet...I'm still the biggest ham on earth!) I just want to be able to gracefully move into the next phase in my life when the time comes. And photography is that outlet.
