Carmen Electra Biography
Carmen Electra was born
in Cincinnati (Ohio) on April 20, 1972. Of course, back then she was
Tara Leigh Patrick, just a little girl growing up in White Oak, Ohio. At
the age of nine, she was selected for the School for Creative and
Performing Arts. While she was there she took singing lessons, and by
her teenage years, she was dancing in musicals and doing her own
choreographing for the school's theater ensemble. Her goal was to
eventually make it out to Los Angeles and get a record deal, and at age
fifteen, she took her first big step.
She moved out to Minneapolis to stay with her sister and half sister,
and earned money acting as a model for the Target department stores.
Four years later, she packed up shop and moved to L.A., changed her name
to Carmen Electra, and one week later, she met the artist formerly known
as Prince. For all practical purposes, she had just been ‘discovered’.
In 1992, after meeting and auditioning for Prince, Carmen was signed to
his Paisley Park Records label. Despite the fact that Prince took her
under his wing (including promotions for her album in Rolling Stone and
on MTV) her first album was a dud. The video for the single "Go-Go
Dancer" was seldom seen on MTV, and when the 12" single hit
the stores in June (1992) it almost went straight to the bargain bin. In
1995, Carmen reinvented herself and appeared on the Nickelodeon show ALL
THAT. In March of 1996, Carmen posed nude for Playboy and did a Playboy
video, Playboy Cheerleaders, in which she sings the show stopper
‘2-4-6-8.' Also in 1996, Carmen hosted MTV's Loveline - only a glimpse
of things to come. On October 4, 1996, Lisa Berger (MTV's senior vice
president of original programming) announced that Carmen had been
selected to replace Jenny McCarthy on the MTV show Singled Out. The deal
was for at least 65 episodes.
Since that announcement, Carmen was signed on to replace Pamela Anderson
on Baywatch, she has appeared in a comic book, appeared as a national
spokesperson for Budweiser and recently filmed a small role in the
independent feature Dust and Stardust, a movie about making it and not
making it in Hollywood. Carmen currently lives in Los Angeles, and the
last we heard, she was definitely having the last laugh.
