Christa Campbell - biography; photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: Real Name: Christa Campbell; Date of Birth: Best Known From: Actress; co-host of "Thunderbox".[br]Born 1973 in Grand Junction, Colorado, USA. There are places in the world where starving people still practice the [br]familiar rain dance — they beat their drums to simulate thunder, bang [br]firebrands together to create sparks that simulate lightning, and spray [br]water into the air with their mouths to simulate rain. Sometimes the [br]rain comes, sometimes it doesn't. The most enthusiastic practitioners of this sort of sympathetic magic are not to be found in the pages of National Geographic, however, but in Femme Fatales, [br]where certain obscure people starved for attention beat their own [br]drums, toot their own horns, and otherwise imitate the trappings of [br]celebrity with the hope that fame and adulation will rain down on them [br]in abundance. Sometimes the fame comes, sometimes it doesn't. For Christa Campbell, long an obscure model/actress whose biggest role to date is still “Young Bettie Page” in an old E! True Hollywood Stories, the fame dance might be starting to work. Which is nothing short of amazing given the paucity of her resume on [br]the one hand and the little drum-beating she's done on the other — all [br]she did, it seems, is show up at premieres and pose in front of [br]paparazzi as if she were a big star. (One of the fundamental principles of salesmanship preached in Boiler Room: [br]“Act as if ” — i.e., act as if you're a big deal, and others might [br]believe you.) And while this hasn't exactly resulted in a downpour of [br]fame for Christa, auspicious dark clouds have nonetheless been [br]gathering: in an episode of Rank, the once-famous Brooke Burke sought to discover Hollywood's most eligible bachelor by asking the opinion's of some of Hollywood's hottest young starlets — Christina Ricci, Eliza Dushku, and, as if she were in the same rank, Christa Campbell. But then, why shouldn't [br]she be in the same rank as Eliza or Christina? She's obviously [br]beautiful, she's relatively young, she can probably act as well (or as [br]badly) as any other over-rated Hollywood nymphet, and she's no stranger [br]to the megalomania of superstardom. (Among her self-admitted defects, [br]she has a tendency to get a pretty big head.) She may not have the [br]charisma of a Reese Witherspoon, but why couldn't she be the new Shannon Elizabeth or Denise Richards? Or at least be the new Nikki Cox? To borrow the end of every episode of History's Mysteries, we may never know the answer to why some actress/models like Christa Campbell, Angelyne [br](the busty blonde on the ancient Hollywood billboard) and others [br]continue to languish in the Phantom Zone of obscurity while others go [br]on to fame and fortune. But if Christa's primitive fame dancing can [br]fool E! into thinking she's a bigger star than she really is, she might [br]be able to fool someone else — someone who could give her a bigger, [br]better part in a film than she's been getting. It could happen. It won't — we'll sooner see her story added to a new edition of Frazer's The Golden Bough — but it could happen. (If it can [br]happen, it had better happen soon, before she gets too old for anyone [br]to care, for when the meat-beating stops, all the drum-beating in the [br]world won't help her.) [br] [br]
