Vanessa Marcil was born October 15, 1968 in Indio, California. She is an American actress known for her roles in the long-running soap opera General Hospital, Gina on Beverly Hills 90210 and the tv series Las Vegas.

Vanessa acted in a number of theatre productions before landing the role of Brenda Barrett on the soap opera General Hospital in 1992. She got three Daytime Emmy Award nominations (1997, 1998 and 2003) for her portrayal, finally winning in 2003 as Outstanding Supporting Actress. In February 1998, she was named Outstanding Lead Actress at the Soap Opera Digest Awards.

After six years on General Hospital, she left the show in 1998 (returning briefly in '02) to star in the made-for-television movie To Love, Honor and Deceive, and had a recurring guest role on the police drama High Incident produced by Steven Spielberg. Marcil joined the cast of Beverly Hills 90210 in November 1998 as Gina and remained with the show for one-and-a-half seasons. Marcil made her feature film debut in the 1996 film The Rock, in which she starred opposite Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris. In 1999, she starred in two independent films: Nice Guys Sleep Alone with Sean O'Bryan and This Space Between Us with Jeremy Sisto.

In 2001, Marcil was awarded the Sojourn Service Award and has supported Sojourn Services for Battered Women and their children by hosting charity events and making appearances on Wheel of Fortune, playing for funds for the organization. Through her fundraising efforts, she hopes to increase awareness of domestic violence and inspire battered woman to take control of their lives.

Marcil formerly starred in the NBC television series Las Vegas as Samantha Jane "Sam" Marquez. She has been featured in several Men's magazines, including Stuff, FHM, and Maxim. She was named #19 on Maxim's Hot 100 of 2005 list and was featured on the cover of the issue that included the list, as well as #92 in the 2006 FHM Hot 100 list.

In early 2008, ABC offered Marcil the chance for a limited return to General Hospital as Brenda Barrett. She has yet to respond to the offer.

Vanessa Marcil In Stuff Magazine

Here are some pics of Vanessa Marcil in Stuff Magazine. These pics look kinda old, but I dont give a shit. Ill post fucking Shannon Doherty Playboy pics if I ever come around to it. I was fucking lazy as a mother fucker over the weekend…just sat at home all day, drank some beers, and just fucking jerked off to a taped college cheerleading competition.

Marcil was born to Peter (of Mexican descent) and Patricia (of French, Italian and Portuguese descent), and has three siblings. She was named after actress Vanessa Redgrave. She grew up in poverty and her father was an alcoholic and abusive. Marcil herself had problems with alcohol and drugs while she was a teen and went to juvenile hall after being arrested several times. She dropped out of...
Where you've seen her:
She got her big break playing the pill-popping, knife-wielding model Brenda Barrett on General Hospital, and then hit prime time with her turn as Gina Kincaid, the scheming thorn in goody-goody Donna’s side during the dying days of Beverly Hills 90210. Even worse, she had sex with Nicolas Cage in The Rock, but thankfully made up for that with her current gig as spitfire casino host Sam Jane on NBC’s Las Vegas.

Clothes to our heart:
"I think it’s sexy to be in a T-shirt with no bra and little cotton panties."

Laughing matter:
"Funny men are the sexiest men on the planet. I always say hot is fleeting but funny lasts forever."

Ghetto superstar:
"My family didn’t have any money growing up. I’m just a girl from the ghetto; from Indio, California."

Why we like her?
Not only is Vanessa the "Most Beautiful Girl in the World," as Prince so mildly put it, she is also sexy, smart, petite, and the queen of soap operas, both daytime and nighttime ones.

Why is she famous?
She starred in the soap opera General Hospital, the primetime drama Beverly Hills, 90210, and currently stars in the NBC drama Las Vegas.

Vanessa Marcil kidnapped!!!

Vanessa Marcil who plays the part of Sam Marquez in the NBC TV series Las Vegas was kidnapped in the last eposide of Season 4 by a 'whale'. The whale earlier proposed Sam, but Sam only accepted his offer if he agreed to pay off the fine Montecito owed to the IRS. Mike's effort to save Sam were in vain since the private jet carrying her and the whale took off moments ago before Mike could make it.

Meanwhile, someone killed Mary's dad after he was acquiited by the court for the crimes her commited against Mary when she was a kid. DeLinda might have been blown up by a bomb while she was convincing Danny's buddy that he won't have to redeploy to Iraq since Danny took care of it. Finally, Montecito's vault was being attacked by armed robbers.

I cannot wait for Season 5 to begin.
