A tough-as-nails, wide-eyed dancer and actress, Lucy was born into family that dabbled in the arts (her mother Mable was a cartoon stuntwoman). Growing up in the shadows of the entertainment industry and the computer world as a child of the information age and despite being a top-notch student with a natural instinct for computer science, she was drawn to the glamour of show business. In late June or early 1997, on a whim, she decided to "beam out" to Los Angeles and immediately won over the employees of Scott Sternberg who were developing Wheel 2000.
