Biography - the story behind Rebecca Gayheart
|

Rebecca Gayheart was born in Hazard, Kentucky, on August 12, 1972, although she was raised in Pinetop, Kentucky. 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 her high school education after having initially spent a summer there modeling. She completed the rest of her high school years at New York's Professional Children's School, and then moved on to study at the Lee Strasberg Institute.
Midway through her second term at the school, Rebecca became a cast regular on the daytime soap opera Loving (1983) in which she played a student obsessed with her professor.
Her modeling career started in advertisements, in which Rebecca Gayheart began modeling underwear in Sears and JCPenney catalogs, but it was her turn as the Noxzema girl that merited her national recognition.
For the next few years after that, Rebecca worked steadily in television. Her credits include Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990), the alien-esque series Earth 2 (1994 -- this show placed Rebecca in the hearts of many fans in Germany where the show was a huge hit), and the NBC miniseries Invasion (1997).
By 1997, Rebecca began starring in big-screen movies such as Nothing To Lose starring Tim Robbins and the emotionally unstable Martin Lawrence, and Scream 2 alongside Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox-Arquette and David Arquette, in which she played a sorority sister named Lois. Her part in the film was short-lived, but memorable enough to get her cast in more movies.
In 1998, Rebecca starred in Urban Legend and in 1999, she starred alongside Rose McGowan and Pam Grier in Jawbreaker, and then nabbed a leading role in the disappointing movie Puppet, directed by Felix R. Limardo.
In 1999, Rebecca Gayheart returned to television and starred in the short-lived drama entitled Wasteland, but the show was canceled soon after it aired.
Rebecca kept up her attempt to make it big in film by then starring in the Quentin Tarantino vehicle From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter (2000), and although it received some praise, it didn't do very well at the box office.
In 2001, Rebecca starred in three movies: Hairshirt, co-produced by and starring Neve Campbell, Doppelganger and Harvard Man, with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Eric Stolz.
On the afternoon of June 13, 2001, Gayheart was driving northbound on Bronson Avenue in Hollywood. Nine-year-old Jorge Cruz, Jr., on his way home from nearby Grant Elementary School, was crossing the street in the middle of the block, jaywalking far from the nearest crosswalk. A number of cars stopped for him, but when Gayheart drove up behind them, apparently not understanding why the cars were stopped in the middle of the block, she pulled into the two-way left turn lane in the middle of the street to go around the stopped traffic. Furthermore, police estimated her speed at approximately 40 miles per hour, while the speed limit in the area was 25 miles per hour. She apparently never saw Cruz crossing, and her car struck the boy, who died the next morning of the injuries he sustained in the accident.
She subsequently pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to a one year suspension of her license, three years probation, a $2800 fine, and 750 hours of community service. Her community service included public service announcements about the dangers of jaywalking and the dangers of failing to stop when other drivers have stopped.
Rebecca's most recent big screen film was Pipe Dream (2002), also starring Mary-Louise Parker and Jill Hennessy. In 2003, Rebecca returned to television in Showtime's Dead Like Me, featuring Jasmine Guy and Mandy Patinkin.
