Christa Campbell - biography; photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: Real Name: Christa Campbell; Date of Birth: Best Known From: Actress; co-host of "Thunderbox".
Born 1973 in Grand Junction, Colorado, USA. There are places in the world where starving people still practice the
familiar rain dance — they beat their drums to simulate thunder, bang
firebrands together to create sparks that simulate lightning, and spray
water into the air with their mouths to simulate rain. Sometimes the
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,
where certain obscure people starved for attention beat their own
drums, toot their own horns, and otherwise imitate the trappings of
celebrity with the hope that fame and adulation will rain down on them
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
the one hand and the little drum-beating she's done on the other — all
she did, it seems, is show up at premieres and pose in front of
paparazzi as if she were a big star. (One of the fundamental principles of salesmanship preached in Boiler Room:
“Act as if ” — i.e., act as if you're a big deal, and others might
believe you.) And while this hasn't exactly resulted in a downpour of
fame for Christa, auspicious dark clouds have nonetheless been
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
she be in the same rank as Eliza or Christina? She's obviously
beautiful, she's relatively young, she can probably act as well (or as
badly) as any other over-rated Hollywood nymphet, and she's no stranger
to the megalomania of superstardom. (Among her self-admitted defects,
she has a tendency to get a pretty big head.) She may not have the
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
(the busty blonde on the ancient Hollywood billboard) and others
continue to languish in the Phantom Zone of obscurity while others go
on to fame and fortune. But if Christa's primitive fame dancing can
fool E! into thinking she's a bigger star than she really is, she might
be able to fool someone else — someone who could give her a bigger,
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
happen, it had better happen soon, before she gets too old for anyone
to care, for when the meat-beating stops, all the drum-beating in the
world won't help her.)
