Biography for Carmen Electra

Tara Leigh Patrick (born Apr. 20, 1972 (38 years ago)), professionally known as Carmen Electra, is an American glamour model, actress, television personality and dancer.

Early years

Patrick was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the daughter of Patricia, a singer, and Harry, an entertainer and guitarist. She attended Ann Weigel Elementary School and then studied dance at Dance Artists dance studio under Gloria J. Simpson, in Western Hills, a neighborhood of Cincinnati. Her mother died of a brain tumor in 1998 (12 years ago). Her older sister Debbie died from a heart attack, also in 1998 (12 years ago). Carmen graduated from Princeton High School in Sharonville. She has Irish, German, and Cherokee ancestry.

Career

Patrick started her professional career in 1990 (20 years ago) as a dancer at Kings Island theme park in Mason, Ohio in the show "It’s Magic", one of more popular shows in the park's history.

She moved to California in 1994 (16 years ago), where she met Prince while auditioning for an all-girl rap group. Prince persuaded her to change her name to Carmen Electra and record a solo album. Soon after, she signed a recording contract with Prince's company Paisley Park Records, marking the start of a short-lived singing career.

In 1995 (15 years ago), Electra started appearing in television programs. In May 1996 (14 years ago) she was featured in a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, the first of several. This exposure led to higher profile television appearances, including Baywatch (cast member from 1997-1998, as Leilani "Lani" McKenzie) and MTV's Singled Out. She returned to Baywatch for the 2003 (7 years ago) reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding.

Personal life

Electra had a short relationship with Prince. She was also romantically involved with rap star B-Real of Cypress Hill from 1995 (15 years ago) to 1998 (12 years ago). When B-Real and Electra were guests on The Howard Stern Show, it was revealed that B-Real had bought Electra's breast implants.

Electra achieved publicity during her on-again/off-again marriage to basketball star Dennis Rodman from 1998 (12 years ago) to 1999 (11 years ago). Their wedding took place at Little Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada. She subsequently had a brief affair with Tommy Lee, Mötley Crüe drummer and ex-husband of Pamela Anderson.

On Nov. 22, 2003 (7 years ago), Electra married Dave Navarro, lead guitarist for the rock band Jane's Addiction. The couple documented their courtship and marriage in an MTV celebrity reality show called 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave. On Jul. 17, 2006 (4 years ago), she and Navarro announced their separation, and Electra filed for divorce on Aug. 10. It was finalized on Feb. 20, 2007 (3 years ago).

However, Electra's spokeswoman has insisted that "They are just friends." In Jun. 2007 (3 years ago), talk show host Jimmy Kimmel asked Electra if her relationship with Jett was romantic. Electra replied, "We're just friends," and said that she collected tabloid articles claiming she and Joan were dating because she found them amusing.

She is currently engaged to Rob Patterson.
