Kristen "Kristy" Nöel Swanson (born December 19, 1969 in Mission Viejo , California ) is an American actress of Swedish descent.

Life

Kristy Swanson was born to Rosemary and Robert Swanson and has a brother, Robert Swanson Jr. At the age of nine she got her first advertising contract. She left school at the age of 13 to begin an acting career. As a teenager , she appeared in over 30 commercials. Her film career began in 1986 with the movie Pretty in Pink . That same year she had a supporting role in the hit high school comedy Ferris Makes Blue .

Because her cinema career did not get off to a flying start in the late 1980s, she tried her luck at television. She has worked in various productions, for example she played the role of Jody Campbell for two years in the soap Under the California Sun and three times the role of Kimberley in the B. L. Stryker feature film series . At the beginning of the 1990s she made some B-films , such as Mannequin 2 - The Magic Goes On or Highway to Hell . But she has also appeared in top-rated films such as Hot Shots . The lead role in Buffy the Vampire Killer later earned her some fame, largely because of the sequel to the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer , although there the role of Buffy Summers was re-cast with Sarah Michelle Gellar . She worked with Charlie Sheen for the third time in the film Highway Heat . She didn't want to make the real breakthrough, and her role in The Phantom with Billy Zane didn't change anything.

It wasn't until 1998 that she was able to reap laurels with the series Alone Against the Future . It was this role that made her appear on Big Daddy . In 2000 she got her own television series Grapevine , which was canceled after five episodes due to low ratings. In the same year she was in the comedy Dude, where's my car? to see.

In 2002 it graced the cover of the November issue of Playboy . There was also a series of photos with her in this booklet.

Private life

Swanson gave birth to a son on February 15, 2007. Father is the former figure skater Lloyd Eisler . The couple married on February 7, 2009 in San Luis Obispo .
