Carmen Electra

Carmen Electra (born Tara Leigh Patrick; April 20, 1972) is an American actress, model, media personality, and singer. Often spotlighted for her looks, she has been considered a sex symbol and pop culture icon since the late 1990s.

Born and raised in Ohio, Electra began her career as a singer after moving to Minneapolis, where she was discovered by musician Prince, who produced her self-titled debut studio album (1993). She began modeling in 1996 with appearances in several issues of Playboy magazine, before relocating to Los Angeles, where she had her breakthrough portraying Lani McKenzie in the action drama series Baywatch (1997–1998).

Electra achieved recognition for her work in parody films, such as Scary Movie (2000), Scary Movie 4, Date Movie (both 2006), Epic Movie (2007), Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie (both 2008). Her other film credits include Get Over It (2001), Starsky & Hutch (2004), Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005), and I Want Candy (2007). Electra hosted the MTV dating show Singled Out (1998) and co-starred with her then-husband Dave Navarro on the MTV reality series 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave (2004). She has also occasionally worked as a dancer, most notably with The Pussycat Dolls, as a featured guest of the group on VH1 Divas 2004.
