Beginning her classical dance training
at age five and entertaining hotel guests
on the Vegas strip by nine, Charisma
displayed an early and uncanny ability
to captivate an array of audiences.
Little would she know, at age 28, she
would find herself working on a critically-acclaimed
cult classic reaching millions of devoted
fans on a weekly basis.
Her story begins on July 23, 1970 in
the ultra-hip city of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Christened with a name fitting for her
flashy birthplace, Charisma admits despising
the "absolute curse" of a
unique name lifted from an ill-conceived
Avon perfume.
"When people first hear my name,
because I'm an actress, I get the feeling
they don't believe it's my real name
or I must be attention-grabbing."
In fact, she goes on to say the misconstructions
regarding her name became so hard to
deal with, "It took me until I
was 13 to go by my real name."
