After being spotted in a stage production while in her early twenties (and still married to Corey Feldman), this pretty actress became a soap star with a six-year, Daytime Emmy-winning stint on
General Hospital. In 1998, Marcil made the leap to prime time when she joined the cast of the drama
Beverly Hills, 90210. During her tenure there, she began dating costar Brian Austin Green, and the couple eventually had a son. When the series ended in 2000, Marcil continued to land small-screen parts, including a recurring role as a detective on
N.Y.P.D. Blue. She returned to series television in 2003 as a sexy casino hostess on
Las Vegas.
