Tia Carrere
Where you’ve seen her:
As Cassandra, the rock-n-roll goddess in
Wayne's World, and in
Rising Sun,
True Lies, and
High School High. She also starred in the syndicated series
Relic Hunter, and has since spent much of her time doing the voice of Nani from Disney's
Lilo & Stitch.
Bushwhacked:
“I'm waxed clean—hairless as the day I was born. But don't say 'Tia has no pubic hair.' That's so clinical. Use a nice euphemism. Say 'She's mowed her secret garden' or 'She's cleared the way to the Promised Land.' Because that's what it is, right?”
Party time:
“The kids all knew me from
Wayne's World. The grown-ups knew me after
True Lies.”
Pray days:
“Some people would call me bossy. I went to Catholic school for 13 years to tone down that
tita-ness in my personality.”
