Charisma means a special charm or allure that inspires allegiance or devotion. This is obviously the only way to describe the beauty that is picked up by the camera everytime Charisma steps in front of it.
  Charisma was born in Las Vegas and stayed there until she was 15 years old, when her family moved to Mexico and San Diego to take classes at the School of the Creative and Performing Arts. After graduating high school, Charisma took a detour through Europe. Upon returning to the states, she moved to San Diego where she held many various jobs to put herself through junior college.

Her job experience at that time included working in a video store, teaching aerobics, and waiting on tables - the job that ultimately led to her acting career. Charisma Carpenter had absolutely no plans to pursue a career in acting, but as luck would have it for the fans of hers,
fate intervened in the restaurant where she was working in Los Angeles. Carpenter was discovered by a commercial agent, and from there her career in front of the camera began. She started by appearing in 20 commercials, including one for Secret antiperspirant which ran for two years. Charisma's first big break on television came as a guest shot on the popular series "Baywatch." Shortly thereafter, she auditioned for Aaron Spelling, who cast her in the role of Ashley in the NBC series "Malibu Shores."
