Literally thousands of aspiring actresses move to Hollywood dreaming to become the next big starlett. Only a few of them are lucky enough to make it through the tough barriers. Krista Allen was fortunate enough to be one of the lucky ones. Krista was born in Ventura California on April 5, 1972, and was raised near Houston, Texas.
Her mother and father divorced when she was very young, but the experience didn't leave any scars on her, or her siblings. Both of her parents eventually got re-married. When Krista was a teenager, she began to model locally in Texas, competing in various beauty pageants, which led to the title of "Miss Texas". She also modeled professionally for companies like Monthomery Ward and Budweiser. She was given the title of "Texas Budweiser Girl" and was featured in their national ads gracing billboards, catelogs and even a calendar! She eventually became a celebrity in her home town and the state of Texas.
While working as an aerobics instructer, Krista studied at the University of Texas to become a kindergarten teacher. Driven by her ambitions to become a star, Krista packed her bags, and with barely $1000 in her pocket, took off to Hollywood. A brief stop in Las Vegas won her $2500. After only a week in LA, she won a recurring role on the soap opera "The Bold and The Beautiful" as a bikini waitress named Shelly. Krista admits that it wasn't her best work, but it was a good starting point. After B&B, Krista came upon what was to be the career move that could make her a star worldwide. Alain Siritzky was creating a new 7 part movie series, based on the exotic character "Emmanuelle". This time Emmanuelle took a group of Aliens under her wing to teach them about human sexuality.
Krista read for starring role of Emmanuelle and won it! Suddenly the shy girl from Texas was star of the show.

First, she was cast as an extra in the movie "Liar Liar" that had Krista in a scene opposite movie superstar Jim Carrey. Though she was only in one 2 minute scene, she definatly caught the attention of viewers. That same week, Krista auditioned for the role of Billie Reed on "Days of Our Lives" -A role made popular by it's previous portrayer, Lisa Rinna.

Though the 2 split up, they remain close to eachother and of course, to their son. Also during the year, her character on Days was being seen less and less. This, plus Krista's drive to try other things, prompted her to not re-sign with the show when her 3 years were up. She left "Days" and her role of Billie in October. Before she even left Days, Krista was cast a lead role in the made-for-tv sci-fi movie "Avalon, Beyond the Abyss".
