Biography
A native of New York, NY, it is no surprise that Krista began dreaming of a career in the entertainment business at a very early age. However, a career as a model or actress was a subsequent thought to her first love -- dancing. At the age of 6, Krista’s parents enrolled her in dancing and though many of the following years were dedicated solely to this, a modeling agent soon noticed the 9-year-old Krista and booked her first gig in front of a camera.
Though she had been given a taste of what it felt like to be the object of everyone’s attention, acting was never a thought for Krista until she entered high school. Krista auditioned hoping to land a dancing spot in her school’s production of Fiddler on the Roof and, to her surprise, she received the female lead. This role only fired Krista’s passion for acting and she hasn’t looked back since.
Krista’s work in the industry has been a mixed bag. She modeled for Redken, which showcased her face to a national audience, she appeared on magazine covers, on runways, and in a number of print and commercial advertisements. Krista also did a photo spread for Penthouse; she became the magazine’s Pet of the Month in April 2006 and the 2007 Pet of the Year Runner-Up. She has also dipped her toes in many small-screen productions, including music videos for 50 Cent, Bon Jovi, Usher, Counting Crows, and as Jesse McCartney’s love interest in his “Beautiful Soul” video.
On the television front she has appearanced on Sex & the City, Law & Order, The Sopranos, Ed, and she played host on Dance-On Dance-Off and Bikini Pool Shark. Krista has even been lucky enough to appear in several motion pictures, including Mona Lisa Smile (2003), The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), The Last Kiss (2006), and Kettle Fish (2006).
In 2007, Krista accepted polar-opposite roles in two independent films: Rockaway, in which she plays a prostitute, and Bad Biology, in which she plays an elegant woman.
