Charisma was born in Las Vegas but she actually moved to LA. Some people wonder if Charisma is actually her given name. In fact it is. She was named after a tacky bottle of avon perfume in the 1970's.
She says that she never wanted to become an actress but hoped to become a teacher. Before she started acting a few years ago she held jobs as a video store employee, aerobics instructor, property management, and waitress. In 1991 she was a cheerleader for the San Diego Chargers.
Her first big break in acting was a role on Baywatch. In 1996 she landed the role of the resident bitch Cordelia Chase in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Despite playing mean and spiteful characters on both Malibu Shores and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charisma says "I'm nothing like my character. I'm a normal human being like everyone else. I really enjoy the outdoors and I spend a lot of time keeping and staying fit."
