Introduction

Underneath all the hotness and busty sexiness, Carmen Electra (36C-23-35) is just a girl from Cincinnati who had the guts to move to L.A., change her name and spend time alone with Dennis Rodman.

Life Story

Born Tara Leigh Patrick in Cincinatti suburb Sharonville, Ohio, Carmen moved to California at 19 and got discovered by Prince while fronting for a rap group. It was actually Prince who persuaded young Tara to change her name, record an album and date him. Well, he was one for three: The relationship didn’t last much longer than the singing career, but the new Ms. Electra began heating up the soundstages of various TV shows. Then in 1996 she posed nekkid for Playboy, and the whole world—or at least correctional facilities across the country—went Carmen crazy. (Seriously, go to a prison…nothing but Carmen posters. Or so we’ve been told.) This led to a two-year stint in the red one-piece on Baywatch and three more, ahem, spreads in Playboy, including two covers.
