Who am I? I was born in 1972 in San Diego. "My Latin roots are very strong. All my life, because I'm blonde and blue-eyed, people who aren't Hispanic can't believe I am. And people who are Hispanic always think I'm not, because I don't look like them. Being Latin is part of who I am and I bring that part to every role." My father was Cuban and my mother was of Native American, Italian and German descent.
I was a member of the Polyettes at Long Beach Polytechnic High School, which was the school's dance team that performed during half-time at football games. I left home at 16 and for the next 5 years lived in such varied locales as Japan, Australia, Mexico, Morocco, and Paris. When I returned to California I tried out for a movie and to my amazement and despite having no previous acting experience, I was cast as the female lead in the film opposite a very strange man. The picture above is actually the first time anyone saw me on the big screen. I was set to play Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat but I broke my wrist and had to pull out (thank goodness). I became a full fledged star four years later with a title roll on a very funny movie. I am very superstitious and I have a reputation of being late. I will ONLY wash my face in Evian water. I broke my nose in Hawaii surfing on my birthday in 2003. Stuff magazine ranked me as the third sexiest woman in the world in 2002.
I have been known to say some weird things like: "I didn't realize it [my first movie] was a fairly large film that I was a part of. Halfway through I was going, 'Is there any place that my mom and dad can see this film?' and they're going, '[Well], at the theatres.' I had no idea. Durrrrrrr. I'm blonde. I'm allowed." And "I would kiss a frog even if there were no promise of a Prince Charming popping out of it. I love frogs. I'd lick him."
Some of the names of the characters I have played are: Julianna Gianni, Jenny Everdeane, Christina Pagniacci, Lotte Schwartz, Celine Naville, Mary Jensen, Tina Carlyle, Natalie Cook, and Freddie Clayton.
Who am I?

Freddie Clayton - Feeling Minnesota
