Biography
Tara Leigh Patrick was born on 20 April 1972 at Sharonville, Ohio. It was a suburb in Cincinnati. Her mother was Patricia, a vocalist, and her father's name was Harry Patrick, and he was a guitar player. In her childhood she attended the School For Creative And Performing Arts and Princeton High School, and also Walnut Hills High School for a brief period.
Later Tara shifted to California, where she met a singer from Minneapolis, called Prince, who persuaded her to change her name to Carmen Electra. She signed a recording contract with Prince's company Paisley Park Records. Unfortunately, Carmen's singing career was short-lived, and died with the release of her very first album. She received offers for various television programs from 1995.
In 1996, in the May issue of Playboy magazine, she appeared nude. Appearances in high-profile television shows like Baywatch followed. She remained a member of the cast from 1997 to 1998. Next she was featured in Singled Out, a show on MTV.

She had a cameo in the comedy American Dreamz in which she was featured as herself. Critics unceasingly deride her acting prowess, but her popularity does not wane.
Meanwhile, Carmen performed regularly with the dance ensemble The Pussycat Dolls. She also crafted a series of DVDs called Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease, which are a combination of classic striptease with mild workout moves. She is the current spokesperson for Ritz Camera Centers and is featured in their advertisement campaigns.
