Biography

A tight-bodied beauty whose comely figure no doubt played more than a passing role in building television's zany Son of the Beach a dedicated following, actress Leila Arcieri also possessed a killer comic timing that perfectly accentuated the show's anything goes air of anarchic comedy. A San Francisco native who was raised by a single mother in nearby Sebastopol, in her youth the shy youngster forced herself to join the cheerleading squad as a means of coming out of her rather durable social shell. Dabbling in modeling by the time she reached high school, Arcieri relocated to Los Angeles following graduation in order to pursue a career in graphic arts, photography, and makeup. Arcieri soon found herself the winner of the 1997 Miss San Francisco contest, and with her newfound confidence, the burgeoning actress would subsequently decide to pursue modeling and find frequent commercial work. When Son of the Beach writer/producer/star Timothy Stack was searching for an actress of both remarkable beauty and a great sense of humor, he knew that he had found his woman when he auditioned Arcieri. Though she had appeared in a few small roles before landing her Son of the Beach role, it was this role that would find Arcieri cast in such high-profile releases as XXX (2002) and Daddy Day Care (2003). Arcieri's mother was employed by Lucasfilm. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Biography

Early life

Arcieri was born in San Francisco, California, the daughter of an Italian American father and African-American mother.[1] Arcieri spent the better part of her childhood in Sebastopol, located in California's wine and redwood country. Upon graduating from high school, she moved to San Francisco, where she dabbled with both graphic design and photography before becoming a make-up artist.[citation needed]

Career

Arcieri was crowned Miss San Francisco in 1997, and soon after she began appearing in both commercials (including 1-800-COLLECT and Starburst) and music videos with the likes of Boyz II Men, and Q-Tip. Such work eventually brought her to the attention of writer-producer Timothy Stack, who cast her in the role of Jamaica St. Croix in his new series, Son of the Beach, a parody of Baywatch. That same year Leila was selected as the Coors Lite Beer 2000 spokesmodel. She reprised her role in XXX for the Director's Cut release in a short film containing the death of Xander. She also appeared in one episode of MADtv.

In 2005, she was voted #65 on Maxim magazine's Hot 100 list.
