Early life
Vincent was born in Las Vegas, Nevada of Italian descent.1 In 1996, she won the Miss Nevada Teen USA title and competed at Miss Teen USA. Though she made it to the top 15, she failed to place at the pageant (televised live), which was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico and won by Christie Lee Woods of Texas.
Film and TV career
Vincent's first major role was as the Yellow Ranger Maya in the 1999 television series Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy.
In 2001 Vincent appeared in the feature film spoof Not Another Teen Movie as the foreign exchange student Areola, and spends the entire film nude. The character was a spoof of Shannon Elizabeth's character, Nadia, in American Pie (1999). She says that being nude in the movie made her feel much more comfortable with her body.2
Vincent also starred in a R-rated horror film called Cabin Fever (2003). In 2006, Vincent appeared in the Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie Sasquatch Mountain, alongside Lance Henriksen, and got her first leading role in It Waits. She was also in the recently released Return to House on Haunted Hill which made its debut straight to video.
Vincent has written some movie scripts, but by her own admission in a recent interview whether or not they will be produced into films remains to be seen.
Books
Vincent wrote her first book in 2007, How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, with co-writer Jodi Lipper.3
