Nikki Cox was born as Nicole Avery Cox on June 2, 1978, in Los
Angeles, California, making her 25 today. Her interest in showbiz
stemmed from a passion for dance.
Ever since she was a young girl,
Nikki wanted to pursue a career in dance, and was discovered by an
agent while taking dance classes. The agent approached the young
inginue and asked her if she wanted to dance professionally, despite
the initial skepticism of her parents.
Nikki strutted her stuff in The
Joffrey Ballet and a Los Angeles Music Center Ballet Tour, and
danced her way into Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, Paula Abdul's
"Forever Your Girl", the MTV Awards, and The Arsenio Hall
Show.
In 1988 she stepped in front of the
camera again, only this time for her big screen debut in the
extra-terrestrial comedy, "MAC and Me". The young actress
then ventured onto the small screen, landing guest roles in
"Mama's Family", "Star Trek: The Next
Generation", "Night Court", "Murphy Brown",
"Baywatch", "Eerie, Indiana", "California
Dreams", and "Blossom".
While beautiful Nikki could be viewed
in households nationwide, she could also be seen on the silver
screen, with her appearance in 1992's "Terminator 2: Judgment
Day".
After landing roles in Made-for-TV
movies such as "The Ryan White Story", "Danger
Island", "Bloodlines: Murder in the Family", and
"Someone Like Me", primetime television would see the
appearance of its newest sexy, self-centered teen -- portrayed by
Nikki.
Her big break came about in
1995, when she was cast as Tiffany Malloy in the "Married...
With Children"-esque sitcom, "Unhappily Ever After".
While getting noticed in the sitcom, soap opera viewers got a taste
of Nikki as the long lost sister of Jagger Cates on "General
Hospital".
After roles in the films "The
Glimmer Man" and "Sub Down", Nikki appeared on
"The Drew Carey Show", "Pearl" and
"Norm" (as a rehabilitated hooker). She landed a role in
the summer 2000 comedy, "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps",
as Ms. Stamos.
As for her personal life, Nikki is
engaged to comedian Bobcat Goldthwait, who provided the voice of Mr.
Floppy on "Unhappily Ever After" (not necessarily a
premonition of their future married life).
Recently joining the slew of WB
babes, such as Katherine Heigl, Katie Holmes, Keri Russell, and
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nikki was cast in her own television show on
the coveted network. On Nikki, the actress stars as a Vegas
showgirl, which gives her the opportunity to indulge in both of her
passions, singing and dancing.
No stranger to offbeat shows, Nikki
couldn't be happier about her new gig and everything it offers --
Vegas, here we come!
