No more penis jokes, please:
“I think sex is fun and, for better or worse, funny. I get some of my biggest laughs during sex.”

Where you’ve seen her:
Playing reporter April O’Neil in the two sequels to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She also starred on the small screen in All My Children, Guiding Light, American Gothic, Party of Five, NYPD Blue, and more recently on CBS’ crime drama The Agency.

Well rounded:
“Going from the token virgin to working with turtles to playing a lesbian and an alcoholic has been pretty intense.”

Reality chick:
“In New York there is more of a diversity of lives. Most of my friends aren’t in the business, but in L.A. so much of the city is ‘industry’—not that that’s a negative thing. For me, though, I need to be able to walk around real life.”

Touchy feely:
”I am a sensualist. I like feeling a man’s hand on the small of my back, a man who knows what he’s doing—leading, but not pushing, anticipating but not being aggressive.”

Role reversal:
“When I first started doing soaps, I always played the goody-goody. I said to my mother, ‘Well, it’s kind of fun because I get to play the perfect daughter you never had.’”

Shell shocker:
On her Mutant Ninja Turtle friends: “Splinter was always my favorite. He was a cool person—a rat! The rest of the Turtles were kind of like having a bunch of brothers. They all have different things to offer.”
