Rebecca was
born in Hazard, Kentucky, on August 12, 1972 although she
was raised in Pinetop, Kentucky where the population is just
over 800 people. Rebecca comes from a long line of diverse
nationalities including those of Italian, Irish, German, and
Cherokee descent.
Rebecca moved to New York
at age 15 to pursue a career in modeling and acting and finished

in the hearts of many fans in Germany where the show was a
huge hit...
