This is one those chicken and egg stories (a bit like 'Ruby Rubacuori' in the 'Bunga Bunga' scandal in Italy), where the fame came after the oops. Nonetheless, she has developed a certain amount of both minor celebrity and disgrace in France, and indeed further abroad.

Zahia Dehar was born in Ghriss, Algeria, but moved to Champigny-sur-Marne in France with her mother and younger brother at the age of 10 even though apparently none of the family spoke French. Initially she tried 'reality TV' as her path to stardom (amongst other things) by appearing in '12 coeurs' (12 Hearts) a astrological dating program in 2008, but latterly she has developed a career as a fashion model, and appeared on the cover of the Spanish version of 'V' magazine in 2011. She has also had some success as a clothes and perfume designer.

Working with the German designer Karl Lagerfeld, she created both a lingerie line and self-named perfume. The lingerie line premiered at the January 2012 Paris Fashion Week fashion show and both the clothing and the perfume caters to high-end customers, with the garments for example on sale for over €500 each ...

Oops:

When she appeared in the TV show '12 coeurs', the show was being reprimanded for being shown illegally before the watershed for 'adult' shows.

But her major oops was spectacular ... Now in France the age of consent is 15, but importantly, prostitution is illegal until the age of 18 and above. So what you could give freely, you can't ask a fee for, and therein lies her path to fame .... apparently she decided to take the shortcut route to money and opted for the 'fee' approach to enjoy her favours.

Her place of work was a Paris nightclub called the Zaman Cafe, where aged 17 she was apparently a member of a prostitute ring that not only included girls under the age of 18, but also transgender members Still, all may have ended there, but after a police investigation into under age prostitution began in 2009, her name swam into police focus. Allegedly amongst her clients were not one, but two French International footballers (there were actually four footballers caught up in the scandal, but only two were named as her clients), and both of the footballers (Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema), as her clients, were 'investigated' and then were questioned in April 2010, and charges were laid in July 2010.

Obviously the affair took up much press attention in France and internationally as well .... the players all continued to play for both clubs and country (imagine if this had happened in England!! ). Like the eponymous 'Ruby', she stuck to her story (which incidentally saved her and the footballers), and she even gave an interview to the weekly Paris Match in which she admitted having been paid for sex by the players, but said she had not told them her age.

As far as I can tell the whole matter was eventually dropped after a year, when French prosecutors finally concluded that they could not prove that the footballers had known Dehar’s age at the time of their encounters. So apart from a vast amount of publicity it seems that no one was prosecuted ..... how very French.

Trivia:

• She insisted that she not be called a prostitute, but an “escort girl”.
• She has posed topless.
• In April 2010, the show '12 coeurs' was back in the limelight again because of Ms Dehar's notoriety.

Pictures:

Almost unbelievably she has a thread here (I didn't even know her name until today), but I am still posting a large number of illustrative pics (all post the age 18 watershed ) as there are few if any dupes, but as usual, any follow ups must go to her thread! - them's the rules







For once I have also posted most of these pics in her thread as it needs a boost ...

Jennifer Miller was born in Silver Spring, Maryland, but her activities centre around Manhattan, New York City. She has evolved into what is described as an 'American performer, underground movie star, writer, painter, director, preacher, and poet' ..... she would have thrived in the Warhol era of the 1960's, but has found fame more tricky in the current climate. Her closest moment was as writer and star of 'The Adventures of Electra Elf and Fluffer', a low budget Public-access childrens adventure television show, about a superhero Elf (Ms Miller), and her sidekick dog ... it ran for 20 episodes between, 2005-2008.

She continues to strive in the 'underground' scene by writing the "Diary of an Art Star" column for Artnet, and she also wrote the "I Did It for Science" column for nerve.com for two years. She was also the host of the 'Anti-Slam' on Manhattan's Lower East Side, an 'open mike night' that ran for twelve years until fall 2007, and in which she gave poetry readings. Others did strange things ... she is also a writer for 'Toxic Pop', and is the founder of 'Art Star Scene Magazine', which is devoted to promoting musicians, artists, poets, etc. through art, and has produced a large number of books.

She has appeared in a number of low/no budget movies but was 'Tina the script girl' in the mainstream release 'Terror Firma', which included porn star 'Ron Jeremy' in the cast. She was music video director for singer Moby's single "New York, New York." .... anyway you get the picture.

Oops:

She apppears to have dabbled in the murkier areas of human relationships as she is sometimes described as a former 'sex surrogate', and former 'professional submissive'.

A DVD '4 Short Films' produced by ASS Studios (Art Star Scene Studios - founded in 2011 by 'Courtney Fathom Sell', and 'Reverend Jen Miller'), has been rejected twice by Amazon (after one previous appeal from the producers), due to 'objectionable' content, even though according to Mr Sell 'it features no nudity or graphic violence' and was rated 'PSG13' .... Mr Sell thinks its all based on a misinterpretation of the company’s acronym.

Before her stint as 'Electra' in 'The Adventures of Electra Elf and Fluffer', and 'Electra Elf: The Beginning Parts One & Two', she appears to have taken another direction and she co-wrote and starred in a number of what can charitably be described as 'tasteless' movies that involved much nudity etc e.g 'Elf Panties: The Movie', and 'Lord of the Cockrings' - the latter is decribed by IMDb as

A bizarre sexual spoof of Tolkien's LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy where a nerdy New Jersey computer programmer named Scroto Baggins is chosen to save Middle Earth from its untimely doom.

She seems to have returned to these themes in her later works, for example 'The Sinful Bitches' in 2011, and is credited as being in the current production of 'Satan, Hold My Hand' to be released sometime in 2013. Still you can't say that this polymath hasn't left a stone unturned in her search for success .... but you can't help thinking that her attempts as 'Electra the Elf', should have come before 'Lord of the Cockrings'.

Trivia:

• 'The Adventures of Electra Elf and Fluffer' was produced by 'Penetration Films', and as 'a fluffer' in adult movies is a person who keeps male stars erect between scenes, they must have thought it was so funny.
• She often wears elf-ears and speaks 'elfish'.
• She also uses the names 'Rev Jen', 'Reverend Jen', 'Saint Reverend Jen'.
• 'Terror Firma' had a budget of $500,000 and takings of just $1,434.
• At the end of the video for the single "New York, New York", Moby is seen kissing Miller's dog, 'Rev. Jen, Jr'.
• She runs a 'Troll' museum from the front room of her 'rent controlled' apartment.

She has no thread, so here's the best of what's out there .... no follow ups needed I suspect, unless she is disrobed.

Pia Zadora (b. Pia Alfreda Schipani) in Hoboken, New Jersey. She was born into a theatrical family and was a child performer, appearing as a child actress with Tallulah Bankhead in 'Midgie Purvis'. She also played the youngest sister (Bielke) in the Broadway production of 'Fiddler on the Roof' between 1964 and 1966. She was also a child actress in movies, starting with 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' in 1964.

But by 1972 her career had effectively stalled but while touring with a musical production aged 18, she met a gentleman called Mr Riklis, an apparently rich businessman 30 years her senior .... well we all know how young show girl and rich older man turns out .... yes, she married Riklis on September 18, 1977. He then set about creating her a career ... not long after their marriage, she made her breakthrough as the 'Dubonnet Girl', appearing in print and television commercials for the apéritif wines, which he both owned and distributed for.

Her husband then financed the movie 'Butterfly', starring Zadora. Her acting in the film won her the 'Razzie Award for Worst Actress', but she also surprisingly won her a 'Golden Globe Award' as 'New Star of the Year' .... apparently after a well publicised press junket paid for by Riklis, hosted at his own Riviera Hotel. However her film career failed to take off. Perhaps the highlight of her 12 movie film career was in 1988, when she appeared as a beatnik in John Waters's cult film 'Hairspray'.

She then turned to singing, and urged on by Frank Sinatra, it has to be said that she made a reasonable success of this, and gained some critical acclaim for several successful albums. These were old standards, backed by a symphonic orchestra, which gave her some hits in Europe. However after the start of her divorce proceedings in 1993, her career came to pretty much a complete halt. In 2011 she apparently attempted a brief comeback but that was fitful and seems to have petered out again.

She sold the family house to Korean businessman Corry Hong for $17.65 million in 2005/2006 .... so she's not broke. She was also married to writer-director Jonathan Kaufer between August 1995 and November 2001. In 2005 she married Michael Jeffries, a detective with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, who she met while reporting a stalking incident, and currently resides in Summerlin, Nevada.

Oops:

Riklis and Zadora attracted much criticism when they bought and then demolished one of Beverly Hills' best known landmarks, 'Pickfair Manor' (the former home of silent movie legends Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford), ostensibly to build a larger home on the site. After various explanations for this activity (termites being one), she later claimed in September 2012 on BIO's 'Celebrity Ghost Stories' that 'Pickfair' was razed due to a troubling apparition which appeared to herself and the children. This last tale has to be taken in the context of her attempted comeback.

Her husband adorned the new house with a nude oil portrait of Zadora, which greeted visitors. Many thought this was at least bad taste. However she also appeared in a Penthouse spread in 1983, and the picture for her 1984 "Rock It Out" single was taken from this shoot.

On June 2, 2013 she was arrested on domestic battery and coercion charges after a disturbance at her home in Las Vegas, where she currently resides. Oddly this wasn't with her husband, but with her teenage son, and an older stepson. Apparently the son had refused to go to bed when told to do so .... he called the police after a long dispute, and she allegedly scratched the 16-year-old's ear as she tried to take his cell phone away when he dialed 911, this is according to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police report.

He also told the police that his mother and his father were drinking alcohol in their home before the incident. He said that she had got upset and grabbed the garden hose when he refused to go to bed, and "started squirting everyone, insisting that Jordan go to bed and Mike Jr. leave." She then went into fighting mode and scratched her husband's face and was "punching and scratching" her 32-year-old stepson, the police report said. It all seems to have fallen quiet, but several hours later, at 4:30 a.m she started fighting with her son over his cell phone.

When police arrived, they were not allowed inside the home but realising that her husband was a police officer ... they entered through an unlocked door in the rear. Challenged by a male and identifying themselves, they were told "Why don't you fucking come back here and get me!" by the unknown male. Thinking that they were going to be attacked, the police officers retreated from inside the home and waited for SWAT officers to surround the house.

Zadora later told police she did not come out because she thought her husband, a detective "would take care of it." After a couple of hours of sleep, and with the SWAT officers still surrounding her house, she said she called 911 and operators told her to go outside, which she did. She was then arrested.

Trivia:

• Forbes Magazine reported that while at the helm of a string of his companies, her husband Riklis left his creditors unpaid for over US $2.9 billion in debt. According to Forbes, less than 10% of this had been recovered as of 2007.
• On the basis of her multiple "awards", the Golden Raspberry Awards later named her Worst New Star of the Decade (1980–1989).
• She made her first records in the 1960s, which included "Bye Bye Boy", for which she was billed as "Little Pia".
• Height : 5' (1.52 m)
• Her son's godfather is Don King.

Lu Jiali, born in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, in China, was both a model and entertainer, before later founding her own modeling agency company. Things may have ended there, but she was ambitious, and wanted some of the wealth and opportunities that the new capitalist economy in China were offering.

Oops:

So Lu used her agency as a cover to introduce the models, actresses and artists on her books, to top communist officials, and to offer escort services as bribes for various activities e.g. Her boyfriend was allowed to secretly “borrow” money from the Shanghai social security fund, to finance his businesses. However she was fully aware how unscrupulous these corrupt men were, so when she rented two presidential-class suites at a luxury hotel in Shanghai, she also installed tiny cameras in the rooms to record all the activities. Just as insurance against any future 'issues'.

As well providing compliant ladies for these hypocritical 'men of the people', she also apparently was the 'mistress' of:

1. Yang Zhongwan, the director of the Shanghai Nuclear Power Company;
2. the chairman of a Shanghai investment company;
3. Zhu Junyi, the former director of the Shanghai Social Security Administration / Labour Bureau;
4. Qin Yu, the former Shanghai City Government Office deputy secretary-general and later Baoshan district mayor;
5. the Shanghai City Party deputy secretary-general;
6. the Shanghai Electricity Company chairman;
7. Qiu Xiaohua, the State Statistics Bureau director.

This was all to help the business interests of 'boyfriend' Zhang Rongkun, a 'billionaire' who she had met in 2001. He had made his fortune, mostly illegally, through his connections with Zhu Junyi. Zhang would also offer Lu as a "sex bribe" to a number of officials in Shanghai to further his interests if required.

But things began to unravel when Yang Zhongwan, the former director of Shanghai Nuclear Power Office fled to Cambodia after a corruption scandal broke. Police investigations started to come across her name, and when Zhu Junyi, the director of the Shanghai Labor Bureau, was sacked for abusing his power, and her name cropped up again, her position started to look vulnerable. Then, when Qiu Xiaohua, the Director of the National Bureau of Statistics, was investigated for corruption, it was discovered that he was also among those corrupt officials who had been bribed by Ms Lu with sex ... she was potentially in the mire.

Even so, it was only when she tried to practise her filming trick overseas, that the authorities were forced to act .... in 2006, Lu offered sexual favors with an actress, to a former Shanghai senior official in Paris, but this activity was exposed by a local French newspaper. Zhang Rongkun's connection was thus uncovered and the whole scandal came to light.

The public security bureau issued an arrest warrant for Lu in 2006. She not unnaturally fled with a large sum of money, and is believed to have moved overseas, but not before having reportedly turned the 'secret' videos over to Zhang Rongkun in order for him to negotiate to reduce his penalty.

She is still on the run.

Trivia:

• Zhang Rongkun’s personal fortune increased so quickly, that he was ranked No. 48 in a list for richest Chinese in 2005.
• Lu also pocketed tens of millions of yuan from her job as a mistress to Zhu Junyi.
• Sexual blackmail is common in China where many officials have been found with their pants down. e.g. Yang Qianxian, the former head of customs in Xiamen was sentenced to death for corruption in 2000. This after he had received sexual services from a woman arranged by the Yuanhua group smuggling ring. He Minxu, the former deputy governor of Anhui province, was blackmailed by his mistress to the tune of 3.3 million yuan (US$530,000). He was also sacked in 2006 for taking bribes.

One of the party bosses on the job

[VintageKell]

Anjanette Abayari was born in Passi, Iloilo in the Philippines, but her family migrated a few years later to the US, where she later became a naturalized American citizen, living in Los Angeles, and was a Oakland raider cheerleader. She first returned to the Philippines in 1991, and as a US citizen of Filipino descent she entered the Binibining Pilipinas (Miss Philippines) contest by claiming her hometown was Iloilo City in the Philippines. She won and was crowned as Binibining Pilipinas-Universe and used this fame to move back to the Philippines in 1996 and star in Filipino movies, making over 26 titles to-date.

Oops

She would have been entered in the Miss Universe Contest, but she was dethroned before the contest because she was an American Citizen and not a Philippine citizen and so not qualified.

She then had a few drug problems .... she was caught and was imprisoned in Guam for possession of methamphetamine hydrochloride ("shabu") in November 1999. She was placed on the Philippine immigration bureau's blacklist, and banned from re-entering the country. She went back L.A. for her drug rehab following her release from prison in Guam and put on probation.

Quote:

During her 'exile' "Luckily, I was able to save for the rainy days, even if most of my possessions (a Rolex, etc.) were sold." ... her career was stalled as she could only get work in the Philippines.

Trivia:

• Alou Gonzales, that year's Bb. Pilipinas-Maja International replaced her as Miss Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
• She was allowed back to the Philippines in 2003/04 after her lawyers told the immigration bureau that she had "learned her lesson from her bitter past'' when they appealed to the agency to allow her to re-enter the country of her birth where, according to them, she plans to stay permanently
• She was dating Jay Gabat, the then Mr. Asia-Universe, who was based in L.A.

Nadya Denise Doud-Suleman (b.Natalie Denise Suleman) ia an American of Iraqi 'Assyrian' descent (meaning shes a Christian). In 1996, Suleman married Marco Gutierrez (s. 2000, d. 2006) and after they couldn't have children she began IVF treatments in 1997, when she was 21 years old.

In 2001, Suleman gave birth to her first child, and her second was born in 2002, she received additional IVF treatments, which resulted in three additional consecutive pregnancies (including one set of fraternal twins) and a total of six children (four sons, two daughters) were born by 2008. By this time she was unemployed and on public assistance programs. So far, so trailer park ..... but she continued receiving IVF treatments and in 2009 she had Octuplets. She was dubbed "Octomom".

From February 2009 she appeared on many television shows, and she struck a deal for a reality TV show in the UK. Fox aired their own two-hour special titled, 'Octo-Mom: The Incredible Unseen Footage'. She featured in the February 2010 issue of Star, and later on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' and 'Idol Gives Back', in which she denied claims that she had received plastic surgery, and stated that she refused to 'star in pornographic movies'.

March 2012, Suleman posed semi-nude for the U.K. magazine, 'Closer' but by April 2012, it was reported that she was back on welfare and had filed for bankruptcy, with $50,000 in assets and up to $1 million in debts. In June 2012, she announced that she would be recording a new single with recording artist 'Adam Barta' and released a single called "Sexy Party" ... I don't know for sure, but suspect that she is still struggling financially.

Oops:

Her continued IVF treatments were in a manner deemed controversial, and the doctor who performed it later lost his licence after a California Medical Board investigation. When it was found that he had transferred twelve embryos into Suleman's uterus, which the board found to be an "extreme" departure from standard of care.

Two public relations companies ended their involvement with her after receiving death threats. From the start criticisms over her lifestyle and number of children were voiced.

In Summer 2012, Suleman appeared in the adult film 'Octomom Home Alone' and in December 2012, 'Home Alone' received four AVN Award nominations, and won for Best Celebrity Video.

"Sexy Party" caused a controversy when Barta was seen holding her breasts surrounded by crucifixes on a bed on the CD artwork.

In a June 2011 interview, she purportedly told 'In Touch Weekly': "I hate babies, they disgust me... Obviously, I love them — but I absolutely wish I had not had them." She later claimed that she had not give an interview with the magazine .... but a recorded audio tape surfaced three weeks later.

She checked herself into Chapman House Treatment Center in Los Angeles on October 23, 2012 for 28 days or more for rehabilitation for anxiety, exhaustion, and stress. She had been taking Xanax under a doctor's care for her problems

She now works as an adult entertainer dancing in men's clubs .... a stripper.

Quotes:

The Children: "I know I'll be able to afford them when I'm done with my schooling. If I were just sitting down, watching TV and not being as determined as I am to succeed and provide a better future for my children, I believe that would be considered to a certainly degree selfish".

The Video: "It was such a positive experience for me and helped me embrace my sexuality.." She also described the scenes as "empowering and liberating."

Trivia:

• Assyrians were the original inhabitants of what is now Iraq, before the Arab Invasions of the 7th century and were one of the first communities to convert to Christianity.
• Her father identified himself as a former Iraqi military man and said he would be returning to his native Iraq as a translator and driver in order to financially support his daughter and her fourteen children.
• She received $8,000 to pose topless for a British tabloid in March 2012.
• She is a fitness fanatic who runs 40 miles a week.
• She claims to have received thousands of death threats over the years since the octuplet birth.

Erin McNaught is from Canberra, Australia and later joined a band named "Short Straw" in which she played bass guitar and back-up vocals. After starting a career in modelling she won the Miss Australia title in 2006. She then represented Australia at the Miss Universe 2006 competition (she failed to make the final twenty). She carried on modelling with television jobs, but in 2007 she took acting classes and secured a part in the long running TV soap opera 'Neighbours', playing the role of 'Sienna Cammeniti'. In 2010 she was employed by MTV and fronted their 'MTV Hits Weekly Hot30 Countdown' show.

In 2012, McNaught took part in twelve season of Dancing with the Stars and was partnered with Gleb Savchenko. She was the first celebrity to be eliminated from the competition. In celebration of her thirtieth birthday she appeared naked on the cover of the June 2012 issue of Maxim Australia.

Oops:

Minor in reality but a big 'no no' in the Pageant world. After winning the Miss Australia in 2006; topless photographs of her surfaced, and a judge and the event co-ordinator called for her to have her title stripped from her. It was later decided that she should keep the title, but only after much bad publicity.

She later got into more trouble for her boyfriend issues and love triangles involving pro-surfer Kelly Slater and Roosters player Braith Anasta.

Trivia:

• She's had thirteen body piercings.
• When she was shooting a story for TV show Cybershack: she fell from a dirt bike she was riding, and got her hand trapped in the bike's spinning wheel. The severed finger was reattached in emergency surgery.
• She stated that her involvement in 'Miss Universe' had "pigeonholed [her] as a pageant type" which made her feel as though she needed to act a like a "goody two-shoes".
• She was apparently quite upset after the wine brand 'Cockatoo Ridge' printed her photo (which she agreed to), under the slogan "She likes a cockatoo"...

How I forgot about this gal is beyond me ....... Koo Starkers!

Koo Stark, (b. Kathleen Dee-Anne Stark), was born into a show business family in New York and she attended a private school in Manhattan. She moved to London at the age of 16, and became an actress ..... she was mostly in minor roles in a hit and miss career. The highlights ('low-lights' are discussed below), all seem to have been 'near misses' ... In 1963, she was offered the role of 'Rost' in cult TV series "Doctor Who" - the episode 'Attack Of The Cybermen', but she allegedly had a disagreement with the production team over her fee and was replaced by Sarah Berger. Then she was cast in 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' in 1977. But in what became known as the "missing Biggs-scenes" on Tatooine, she played one of Luke's friends called "Camie" ... but the scene was left on the cutting room floor! She was 'Miss Scarlet' in the short lived TV series 'Cluedo' in 1991, so it wasn't always the bridesmaid. She also had a stage career which included a spell in a production of 'Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?'.

In 1989 she appeared in an episode of another cult sci-fi TV show 'Red Dwarf' as Dave Lister's titled wife, 'Lady Sabrina Mulholland-Jones', in an alternate world. She also had an uncredited role in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' .... She later became a 'freelance photographer' and split her time between New York and London. However she was reportedly forced to claim housing benefit in London after the collapse of her finances, and work dried up.

She became famous for her 18 month relationship with Prince Andrew of the British Royal Family, but eventually married another gentleman, then after divorcing, she had a child by another partner. She suffered health issues and afterwards founded the charity cancer organization called, "Keep Abreast."

Oops:

Aspiring actresses should always consider the long term when accepting roles, especially when taking their clothes off (tastefully or otherwise), but they so rarely do. After all a girls gotta eat! So in 1976 she appeared in the soft-porn film 'Emily' and another similar film 'Cruel Passion' (aka 'Justine') in 1977. Now this may have passed unnoticed amongst all those cutting room floor scenes that have littered her career, but when she started being seen with Prince Andrew, the UK (and World) press were all over her career ..... out came the nude scenes, blinking into the glare of massive bad publicity, and within a twinkling of the eye, her chance of becoming "Princess Koo" was over. To be fair on Prince Andrew, he hadn't wanted to break up and they have remained friends and, on his own instigation, he became her daughter's godfather.

She told an interview that she had lived in Blake’s hotel in Kensington, and that the first bill was such a shock that she thought she would never be able to afford to leave. In the end she got a national newspaper editor to agree to pay her hotel bill in return for letting the paper publish her photography.

She became embroiled in a legal argument with her landlord, Earl Cadogan, over who should pay to get rid of asbestos in her Kensington flat.

The UK press reported in late September 2008, that she had been evicted from her home, and was on the verge of bankruptcy. The reports stated that she was living in a hotel in west London by the good graces of the hotel management, until her financial situation could be resolved.

It was later stated that she had been made bankrupt over her stay at the five-star 'Jumeirah Carlton Tower' hotel in London's upmarket Knightsbridge with total debts of around £250,000 - this following a protracted court battle with her former fiancé, and American banker (heir to the Forbes publishing and shipping fortune), who was the father of their child. She was said to be suing for “breach of promise and emotional distress” after their engagement was called off, while he wanted custody of their daughter.

She had an eco-friendly Toyota Prius, which was impounded after a 'mix-up' over parking fines. She left it at the pound as it was 'covered in vermin pee and poo', and declined to retrieve it.

In October 2012 she appeared in West London Magistrates’ Court accused of stealing a painting worth £40,000 from a former partner. She appeared under her real name of Kathleen Stark, where it was alleged she stole the painting from the flat of the father of her child. She denied stealing the Anthonie van Borssom oil painting, which depicts a moonlit coastal landscape.

She was told to reappear at West London Magistrates’ Court before the case was finally sent to Crown Court. On the 20th June 2013 at Isleworth Crown Court, in west London, she appeared to face the charges but just before the case went to trial, the prosecution and defence reached an agreement for her to return the oil painting and she was then formally cleared of one count of theft.

Trivia:

• Is the daughter of film producer Wilbur Stark and New York television host Kathi Norris.
• She has been a practising Buddhist since 1994.
• She changed her name to Koo because she had a thing for pigeons (coo!).

Shannon Claire Spruill born on the Wiesbaden United States Air Force base in Wiesbaden, West Germany. In 1976 they moved back to the US ending up on the Scott Air Force Base in St. Clair County, Illinois. However the gypsy life continued with the family in the UK and then Germany again.

Spruill graduated from Georgia State University in March 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film and Video production, with minors in Acting and Music and she went on to work in Media Production before becoming an actress.

Most of her 18 film roles were connected to her later career in wrestling but she was uncredited in 'Santa Clau's 1985, and as 'Gina' in "I surrender All" in 2001

Its fairly safe to say that her acting career was via an unusual route ... her first role seems to have been for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as 'Daffney', the mentally deranged, besotted girlfriend of David Flair. In 2000 Daffney and Crowbar defeated WCW World Cruiserweight Champion Chris Candido and his girlfriend Tammy Lynn Sytch in a mixed tag team match and were declared co-champions.

She has remained in wresting both as performer and manager ever since.

Her contract with TNA expired and was not renewed as on March 15, 2011. She then announced that she had filed a workers' compensation claim of over $26,000 against TNA for injuries (and medical bills), suffered while wrestling for the promotion, believing she had been put in an unsafe working environment and that she did not believe she could ever wrestle again, due to the accumulated injuries she had suffered during her career. Yes really, wrestling wasn't safe. The lawsuit was settled out of court during a mediation session scheduled just prior to the two sides going to court for a hearing, on March 8, 2013.

In July 2011, she was arrested in Hillsborough County, Florida for "driving under the influence with property damage". Her bail Bond was set at $500. She later pled guilty to the charges and was sentenced to one year probation and a fine of $1,580.

Trivia:

• One of Daffney's hallmarks was a high piercing scream when she was lurking at ringside. The gimmick was based in part on 'Mallory Knox', the character played by Juliette Lewis in the film 'Natural Born Killers'.
• Daffney was notable for her constantly changing hair color, wide selection of T-Shirts with slogans on them, and her propensity to scream loudly and shrilly for no apparent reason.
• In December 2008 Spruill started playing the role of Alaska governor Sarah Palin in skits involving the Beautiful People.

She doesn't have thread, but features on a few specialist wrestling threads as single posts. I guess any follow ups (Biographical or Pictorial), should go there
