Lords, who is the middle of three
sisters, was born and raised in Steubenville, Ohio. When she was 12, her
mother, a schoolteacher, moved her daughters to Redondo Beach, Calif. At
18, Lords began studying at the famed Lee Strasberg Institute, and soon
after, was cast in Roger Corman's feature film "Not of This
Earth," a science-fiction cult favorite.
However, it was the campy film "Cry Baby" (directed by John
Waters) that elevated Lords' legitimate profile among casting directors.
She pursued the role vigorously, and was added to an eclectic cast that
included Johnny Depp, Iggy Pop and Ricki Lake. After the film's opening,
Lords was approached with many offers for guest-starring TV roles, and
she appeared in such series as "MacGyver," "Wiseguy,"
"Superforce," "Married ... with Children." Perhaps
her most notable TV credits prior to "Profiler" were her
recurring roles in "Melrose Place" (as Rikki, a cult leader)
and in "Roseanne."
Lords' TV credits also include the
miniseries "Stephen King's 'The Tommyknockers'" (in which she
played a woman who was overtaken by a mysterious force), the movies
"As Good As Dead" and "Intent to Kill." Among her
other feature films are "Serial Mom," "Virtuosity,"
"A Time to Die," "The Nutty Nut," and a succession
of soon-to-be-released independent movies, including
"Extramarital" (which she also produced), "Boogie
Boy," "Blade" and "The Killing Club."
In recent years, Lords has posed for celebrity calendars and posters,
which she also helped design. She is preparing a second musical album
with a techno flavor for Radioactive Records (due next spring) as a
followup to her first album, "1,000 Fires."
In her leisure time, Lords enjoys tennis, swimming, hiking and boxing
("It's a good way to vent and still get a good workout!"), and
also likes gardening and working on her music. She contributes some of
her time and energy to Children of the Night, a charitable organization
dedicated to keeping underage children and teens off the streets of
Hollywood. She resides in Los Angeles. Her birthday is May 7.
