has an estimated population of 6,000. She grew up on her family's ranch as a
tomboy enjoying such activities as horseback riding, fishing and catching frogs.
Angelica began taking dance lessons by the age of 3. As one of those children
wanting to be a star and perform, Angelica was doing radio commercials and
voice-overs for the local Harrisonville radio station by the young age of 9.
After a great start, by the age of 12, she entered herself in NBC's nationwide
search for talent, which was making a stop in Kansas City, Missouri. Out of the
thousands of hopefuls, she was only one of the twenty young actors who signed to
a trial option agreement for possible future work assignments.
Angelica began modeling at 14, appearing in 'Teen' magazine and at 16, won the
'Miss Missouri Teen' title. After High School, she auditioned for a singing
group that toured internationally. She got one of the positions as a lead
singer. This was a big break, as well as great exposure, for the group got to
perform at 'The Shanghai TV festival,' which was seen by over 300 million people
a night.
In 1992 Angelica was crowned 'California Young Miss of America.' John
Casablancas, founder of the internationally prestigious 'Elite Modeling Agency,'
spotted her while she was performing a show at Universal Studios in Orlando,
Florida. He immediately signed her to a contract. Her career took off!
Angelica traveled the world over the next few years as an 'Elite Model.' She
also garnered a two-year contract with 'Clarol' to be the 'Ultress Girl.' She
has appeared on over a dozen magazine covers.

'IBM,' 'Bally's,' 'Pontiac' and 'Pepsi.' Angelica is best known for her 'Brut
Cologne' commercial (as Troy Aikman's girlfriend).

soap, 'Days of Our Lives.' Since her big break with the soap, she has had guest
roles on 'Cybill' (CBS), 'Pacific Blue,' NYPD Blue' (ABC), Silk Stalkings, and
the CBS daytime soap, 'Young and the Restless.
She went on to read for a part on 'Baywatch.' Angelica was able to prove her
swimming skills. Currently, she has landed the role of Lieutenant Taylor
Walsh, a South Bay Lifeguard that the Chief sends down to interview for the
