Born on a ranch in North Hollywood, California, Spice rode her horse to kindergarten, grew up playing in her father's medical offices, eventually hitting the road as a musician, singer, and dancer under contract to 20th Century-Fox Records.
Overcoming a seven-year drug and alcohol problem, at the age of 26, Spice turned to God, nutrition and exercise with the eventual promise of helping others to turn their lives around. As she got older, she changed the course of her career and began studying acting for stage and film. After hearing about roles for female warriors, wrestlers, and super-heroines, she began to kickbox and bodybuild, slowly creating a niche for herself.
Now 52, Spice calls herself an “action actress” and has worked in such feature motion pictures as Star Trek V, Cherokee Kid, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Guyver, A Simple Plan, and For The Love Of The Game. She has also guest-starred on numerous TV shows including, Roseanne, My Two Dads, Women In Prison, Mama's Family, The Bold And The Beautiful, Step by Step, The Smart Guy, Diagnosis Murder, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. "In fact," says Spice, "I can't remember playing a role where I wasn't asked to perform some kind of physical feat." Shortly after filming her role as an erotic dancer in the Robert Downey Jr./Mel Gibson movie, “The Singing Detective,” Spice appeared in a 7-UP commercial where she picked the spokesperson up in her arms and carried him out of a department store. Spice has been stunt-doubling Deidre Hall (Marlena) on “Days of our Lives” for over 8 years now, and recently made an appearance playing the jail cell bully, Veronica, who ends up fighting Marlena. In July of 2004, Spice will begin work on a new Clint Eastwood film, “Million Dollar Baby,” and then will be starring in a film playing a Detective that will have a huge fight to the death with Raven, the wrestler!
Stunts came into play almost 20 years ago when Spice was asked to double an actress playing a Judo instructor opposite Rock Hudson. Since then, she has doubled for the likes of Louise Fletcher, Meg Foster, Katherine Ross, Clare Carey, Deidre Hall, Cindy Pickett, Linda Kozlowski, Eileen Brennen, Becky Ann Baker, Kelly Preston, and many more. Spice also Stunt Coordinates, and you can see her latest creation in the controversial Miller Lite commercial where to two beautiful girls duke it out over the taste of beer! Although Spice has crashed cars, dove through glass windows, taken stair falls, executed 30-foot ratchets, 50-foot high falls, and hung from helicopters 300 feet above the ground, she is perhaps best known for her ability to pick a 300 pound man up over her head in a fireman's carry.
Gracing the cover and pages of over 100 magazines, both here and abroad, Spice has also made a name for herself as a nutritional author with her popular book, "Diet For A New Age.” She writes an ongoing column in both Ms. Fitness Magazine and Natural Muscle Magazine, and also shares in a successful business venture with her husband (manufacturing a popular line of vegan food products called "Spice Of Life Meatless Meats & Jerky"). She holds a Masters degree in Fitness Science and is currently going after her PhD in Holistic Nutrition. In December of 1998, she was voted into the Marquis Who’s Who in America-West, and this year became one of only three women & seven kids in the U.S. to take a Black Belt in the Martial Arts style of Arjukanpo. Spice's goal is to continue to set an example for the women of the new millennium: spiritually focused, mentally alert, physically capable.
As she likes to say, "Stay strong & sweet!"
Spice is married to Gregory Crosby -- screenwriter and the first born grandson of actor/singer Bing Crosby. They were blessed with their first child, Luke Gregory Crosby, born February 1, 1995 and love Whippet dogs!
