Started her career as a model and wanted nothing to do with the film or
television side of the industry until director
Edward Holzman encountered her and asked
her to play a bit part in
Sinful Intrigue (1995). Though
the experience was "fun", as she called it, it definitely reaffirmed
her desire not to stay in the game, but continue with modeling for a
few more years. Originally from Connecticut, Sharon moved to Los Angeles
to model at the age of 16, where she started working almost
immediately.
Sharon body doubled for
Pamela Anderson for a season on
Baywatch (1989) while Pamela was
pregnant with her first child with
Tommy Lee, before marrying
writer/producer/director
Shane Stanley in
1998, where soon after she became the co-host for
Extreme Gong (1998).
