On February 13th, 1968, a girl of Chinese, English, and Hawaiian
ancestry was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her father, Herbert, was a
salesman and her mother, Juanita, worked many odd jobs to help support
the family. She has one older brother, Glenn. She is a former Miss Teen
USA, and modeled in Japan and Italy for several months before deciding
to relocate to L.A. and try her hand at show business. She received her
break on TV's
Growing Pains (1985) in 1987
and never looked back.
