Angelica Bridges -
Angelica Bridges born November 20, in the small town of Harrisonville,
Missouri. A small-town girl, Angelica was a tomboy throughout
her childhood, preferring horseback riding and fishing rather
than playing dress-up. If she did play dress-up, it was in dance
outfits while taking dance lessons since the age of 3. Dreaming
of someday becoming a star, Angelica started out in media with
radio commercials and voice-overs.
The 12-year-old ambitious lass headed to Kansas
City, Missouri, to enter a talent search held by NBC. Angelica
may never have needed her looks to succeed (her prior experience
was limited to radio), but now her looks and talent got her to
the next level: she was among the 20 to sign a contract for future
assignments.
Next up for Angelica: modeling. She began to model
at 14, and even appeared on the cover of Teen Magazine and was
crowned "Miss Missouri Teen" at age 16. After having
tried her hand at music after high school (Angelica was lead singer
of a band, which performed at the "Shanghai TV Festival"),
Angelica pursued modeling more intensively.
While performing in Universal Studios, the founder
of the Elite Modeling Agency caught eye of 1992's "California
Young Miss America", and signed her to become an Elite model.
Moving from radio to television, Angelica showed off her model
body in television commercials for products such as Diet Coke,
Pontiac, Toyota, Doritos (pre-Ali Landry), Hanes, IBM, Bally's,
Pepsi, American Express (as a modern-day Ginger Rogers), and most
notably, Brut Cologne, as Troy Aikman's girlfriend. Angelica was
also known as the "Ultress Girl", having signed a 2-year
contract with Clairol.
After appearing on television in a string of commercials
and gracing several magazine covers, Angelica broke into acting
with a recurring role on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, in
1996. The green-eyed redhead already had a role in the 1995 comedy
California Heat on her resume.
Television guest-appearances began to pour Angelica's
way, such as on Night Stand, NYPD Blue, Cybill, Silk Stalkings,
and Conan (as Red Sonja). In 1997, Angelica did her requisite
Baywatch duty, as Lieutenant Taylor Walsh on the T&A series.
Her Baywatch gig didn't last long, and Angelica continued to do
the television rounds, with a recurring role as Omegis in Mortal
Kombat: Conquest, and appearances on Pamela Lee's V.I.P., and
the comedies Suddenly Susan and That '70s Show.
As a child, Angelica was a tomboy, preferring horseback riding and fishing rather
than playing dress-up. |
In 1999, the model/actress was cast in a bit part
in the film, Mystery Men, and will next be seen in the films Tomcats,
Do It For Uncle Manny and The Month of August.
