Although this brunette knockout got her start sporting a bikini as a guest on Baywatch and a regular on the short-lived Malibu Shores, Carpenter became a star as a fully clothed butt-kicker on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel. After seven years playing the same beloved bitchy role, her character was killed off and the sexy actress slowed down the pace to spend time with her husband and son. Carpenter returned to the spotlight with a 2004 spread in Playboy and a recurring part on cult-favorite Veronica Mars in 2005.Charisma Carpenter Fast Facts:
