Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nev., Carpenter moved with her family to Mexico
when she was 15. She had studied classical ballet since the age of 5 and pursued
dancing as part of her high school curriculum by commuting between Mexico and
San Diego to take classes at the School of the Creative and Performing Arts.
Carpenter did not initially intend to pursue a career in acting, but fate
intervened when she was discovered by a commercial agent while waitressing in
Los Angeles to save for her college education. Since then, she has appeared in
more than 20 commercials.
Her first break in television came with a guest appearance on the popular series
Baywatch. Shortly thereafter, she landed an audition for Aaron Spelling, who
cast her as a regular in the series Malibu Shores. Charisma, is perhaps best
known for her role as Cordelia on Buffy & Angel. Charisma does a spread
for Playboy in June and it is HOTT!. Carpenter currently resides in Los
Angeles, Calif. with her two Golden Retrievers. A fitness enthusiast, her
outdoor interests include rollerblading, rock climbing, hiking and sky diving.
