About Carmen Electra
This sex symbol was used frequently on Baywatch and in Playboy before becoming humorous in Scary Movie and Epic Movie.
Bombshell Carmen Electra has a stellar career that includes work as an actress, singer, dancer, and, of course, a Playboy model. She is most known for her seductive curves, icy blue eyes, and high-profile rock and roll partnerships.
A Little Prince-Ess
The youngest of five children, Carmen Electra was born Tara Leigh Patrick in Sharonville, Ohio. Carmen began to emulate her musician parents as a young child, enrolling in dancing courses and dreaming of Broadway by the age of five. She enrolled in a local arts high school and, as soon as she received her diploma, sped out to Hollywood.
After working as a club dancer for a few months, Carmen’s luck changed when a talent scout for Prince noticed her moves and helped her get an audition with the purple superstar. A recording deal was struck under her brand-new identity, which Prince had given her, but her debut album of the same name was a commercial failure.
Pinup Princess
Carmen received a second chance after undergoing surgery and emerging as a Baywatch-worthy beauty. She won a spot on the popular show and a nude photo shoot in Playboy thanks to her hot new body. She would soon win the hearts of millions of readers of Playboy, and since her first cover shot in 1996, she has appeared on three.
Carmen’s Playboy success turned out to be the ideal launching pad for the showbiz career she had always envisioned. In 1997, she took Jenny McCarthy’s place as anchor of MTV’s Singled Out, and she also got parts in corny movies including Scary Movie, An American Vampire Story, and Starsky & Hutch.
She also obtained work in TV shows and music videos, but Carmen received far more praise for her appearance than for her acting prowess.
She was a full-fledged pin-up sensation by the early 2000s, flaunting her physique on the covers of Maxim, Stuff, and FHM, dancing with The Pussycat Dolls, and frequently making appearances as a guest on Howard Stern‘s show. Carmen kept busy in the late 2000s as a spokesperson for Taco Bell and Max Factor as well as the producer of her own seductive exercise DVD collection, Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease.
Marital Problems
Nearly as much attention has been paid to Carmen’s personal life as to her curves. She wed basketball’s infamous bad boy, Dennis Rodman, in Las Vegas in 1998. Days later, Rodman revealed to the public that he had been intoxicated during the wedding and requested an annulment.
Six months after being divorced, the drama persisted when they were detained following a heated dispute in Miami’s opulent Bentley Hotel. They were both granted parole on a $2,500 bail and told to keep their distance from one another. Ultimately, the accusations were dismissed.
Carmen recently rekindled her relationship with Tommy Lee, the ex-husband of Pamela Anderson, a fellow Baywatch alum. Carmen and Dave Navarro’s relationship didn’t endure, but when they got married in 2003, Carmen made it clear that she preferred rockers to ballers. For the MTV reality series “Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave,” they shot the month before their wedding. The honeymoon of the ostensibly content couple, however, did not endure, and they split up in 2006. The Daily Mail said that there were allegations of infidelity.
Since they split up, Carmen’s love life hasn’t been nearly as newsworthy. In 2008, she became engaged to Rob Patterson of the metal band Otep, and the two eventually separated up in 2012.
“I was really super shy. So even hosting or sitting here doing an interview…If I go back to my childhood, I can’t imagine getting over that shyness.”
