Biography |
Angelica Bridges was 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.
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. |
