Krista Allen.

Krista Allen was born April 5, 1972, in Ventura, California, but was raised in Houston, Texas. Her parents divorced when Krista was young, but they both eventually remarried. As is no surprise, Krista won several beauty competitions as a teenager, and was crowned "Miss Texas." Her stint as a beauty queen led to her work as a model, with titles such as the national "Budweiser Girl." In addition to her modeling work for the popular beer, which consisted of billboards, catalogs and calendars, Krista also became the "World Gym" spokesmodel while working as an aerobics instructor. Although it was clear from the start that Krista had the makings of a beauty queen, she was an education major at the University of Texas and interned as a kindergarten teacher. But her original plan took a detour when Krista headed to California to further her modeling career.

22-year-old Krista got a break three days after arriving in Los Angeles, with the help of her manager. He encouraged her to audition for the popular soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, and she won the part of bikini waitress, Shelley. After her brief stint on The Bold and the Beautiful, Krista was faced with a different role: she was cast as Emmanuelle for a 7-part movie series based on the exotic character of the same name. Krista looks familiar to you, it's probably because she has appeared in a multitude of TV shows, such as Silk Stalkings, Diagnosis Murder, Married... With Children, Pacific Blue, High Tide, Weird Science, The X-Files, Spin City, and has had recurring roles in Charmed and CSI (including the pilot episode).

On a personal front, Krista wed movie producer Justin Moritt in 1996, and the couple welcomed their son, Jacob Nolan, on July 12, 1997, while Krista was fulfilling her duties as Billie on Days of our Lives. Unfortunately (or however you want to look at it), Krista and Justin called it quits in 1999, and she no longer used his last name (she was sometimes credited as Krista Allen-Moritt). After the release of the eighth edition of the Emmanuelle series, Krista was seen in bit parts in the films Sunset Strip, Totally Blonde and Face Value. And what a face it is.
