Vanessa Marcil as born October 15th, 1969 in Indio, California. Marcil is a seductive, brown eyed, brown haired actress of Mexican (fathers side) and French/Portuguese/Italian (mothers side) descent. Pop singer Prince attempted to woo her and even featured her in his video, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. However, gorgeous Marcil also carries herself with a Cute N Approachable quality plus an appreciation for acting that started before her first memories, when she was named after Vanessa Redgrave. Therefore, predominately female audiences took to Marcil in the role of Brenda Barrett on General Hospital. Exciting story lines had her as a young heiress involved in perilous love triangles with a married mobster named Sonny Corinthos (not to be her last brush with a Sonny) and then a corporate raider. Marcil received numerous accolades from colleagues for this role including 3 Daytime Soap Awards and a 2003 Emmy. Shes also appeared in Beverly Hills 90210 and since 2003 has starred on the night time drama Las Vegas. There she works with the actor who portrayed the only fictional mobster named Sonny who matters—James Caan— still revered as Sonny Corleone from the 1972 classic, The Godfather. Marcil is divorced from actor Corey Feldman and has a child with former co-star Brian Austin Green.
