Carmen Electra really knows how to turn it on! Born in Sharonville, Ohio, Electra is no longer the small town girl she once was. After moving to Los Angeles in 1994, Electra met Prince and he persuaded her to change her name from Tara Patrick to Carmen Electra. Recently Young Hollywood caught up with Carmen Electra at the Young Fabulous and Broke party at Project Beach House in Malibu where she talks about when she struggled being young, fabulous and broke.

In 1995, Electra started appearing on television, and went on to become one of the hottest television personalities of our time appearing on shows like MTV’s Singled Out and Baywatch. In 1997, she appeared in her first film and has since gone on to be featured in over 20 films, including Good Burger, the horror spoof Scary Movie, and Starsky and Hutch.

In addition to becoming a celebrity, Electra has also had her fair share of high-profile relationships including Dennis Rodman, Tommy Lee and Dave Navarro. Her marriage to Dave Navarro spawned the reality show, Til’ Death Do Us Part, but the couple divorced a few years after.

Electra has also been involved in multiple charities, such as Head to Hollywood, which offers support to brain tumor survivors. While Electra may be the ultimate bona-fide Hollywood sex symbol, she’s more than just a pretty face. She’s had an electrifying career, is involved in philanthropic activities and we can guarantee there's more to come!
