Carmen Electra grew up near
Cincinnati, Ohio, in the town of White Oak and got her first boost when
a scout for Prince
spotted her fronting for a rap group in Los Angeles. She released a
self-titled album for Prince's Paisley Park label in 1992. Starting
March 1997, she appears in cartoon form as the model for a character
who's a singer and a vampire ("but a good vampire", says her
publicist) in a comic book series called Embra.
