Claim to fame:Nurse Jade Soong Chung on
General Hispital (1985), Cassandra Wong in Wayne's
World (1992)
It was after she co-starred with Mike Myers and
Dana Carvey in the comedy Wayne's World in 1992
(a role she chose over Baywatch), that American
audiences really took notice of the Hawaiian beauty.
As Wayne's dream girl, aspiring rock star Cassandra,
Tia Carrere made it clear that she's worthy of
a schwing or two.
Tia contributed several songs to the film's soundtrack,
which wasn't such as stretch for the vocalist.
She had musical experience as the former vocalist
of a rock band and a jazz orchestra. She even
released her debut album, Dream, which didn't
end up doing too dreamily, expect for in the Philippines.
Tia then joined Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes
to star in Rising Sun, and reprise her role of
Cassandra in the 1993 sequel to the hugely successful
Wayne's World. In 1994, Tia appeared as Juno Skinner
in True Lies, Treacherous and Hostile Intentions.
