Biography |
Terry Farrell is an American actress and former fashion
model, best known for her roles in the television series

David W. Grussendorf, who adopted Terry and her sister,
Christine. Before becoming a model, she played a Christmas
elf at a mall in Cedar Rapids. In 1978, at age fifteen, she
left her hometown for a summer in Mexico City as a foreign
exchange student. That time in her life made her fond of big
cities, so in her junior year of high school, the nearly six
feet tall Farrell submitted her image to the Elite modeling
agency in New York City. Shortly after, at the age of
sixteen, she was summoned to NYC and, within two days of
arriving, had an exclusive contract with Mademoiselle
magazine.
Farrell lives in Hershey, Pennsylvania, with her husband,
former Sprint Corporation spokesman Brian Baker (a.k.a. the
Sprint Guy), their son Max, and their dog Romona. She enjoys
cooking and deep sea fishing. As of January 2007, Farrell
and her husband have moved back to central Pennsylvania and
are taking a break from acting to raise their son. |
