A noted thespian even in high school, the soap opera As the World Turns offered her a contract in 1985, when she was only 16. However, both she and her parents felt it best that she finish high school first.

She conducted many bizarre television interviews and claimed in her autobiography, Call Me Crazy, that she was mentally ill for the first 31 years of her life after being sexually abused by her father. She also claims to have an alter ego that was the daughter of God and half-sibling of Jesus named "Celestia" who has contacts with extraterrestrial life forms.
