Born in the tiny town of Palatka, this only child was raised in the
Florida sunshine. It all began when her parents met at the Azalea
Festival. Her mom was a contestant in the beauty pageant and her dad
was a judge. Guess who won. Krystee spent most of her childhood in St.
Petersburg where she cherished the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Her talents were nurtured from the start. She tried her hand at
everything from dancing and singing to playing piano and the flute,
from ice-skating and horse back riding, to juggling and twirling the
baton. This three time state champion twirler had Olympic dreams!
Unfortunately, baton twirling never made it as an Olympic event. What a
shame.
Being precocious and independent, Krystee graduated from high school
and moved to Los Angeles at 16. Over the years, she has made memorable
appearances on some of television's most popular shows including 7th
Heaven, Roseanne, and Boy Meets World. Remembered for her kick-ass role
on Saved By The Bell, this lovely lady wrestler helped Bayside win the
championships! It has become one of the most talked about episodes in
the show's history.
Krystee played Trish Putterman, the battery operated robotic teenager
in a series of Duracell Battery commercials. As a Putterman, she
sported state-of-the-art latex prosthetics and a head-to-toe plastic
wardrobe taking up to 4 hours a day to apply. The kitschy campaign was
directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and became a phenomenon in the 90s
including T-shirts, phone cards, even Halloween costumes.
Krystee seems to have endless amounts of creativity except when it
comes to naming pets. Her Papillon dog is named "Papillon". She hates
talking on the phone but is a voracious reader. She spends her
afternoons at museums and people watching and swears they feed the same
need. She is definitely a night person, but is often spotted watching
the sunrise after a night of dancing.
She is a self-proclaimed "Pop Culture Junkie". She sees at least two
movies a week at a theater, is proud to be a Disneyland annual pass
holder, and could never have an ipod big enough to hold her
ever-growing library of music. She is addicted to Rockstars (the energy
drinks and the men). She has seen hundreds of concerts and makes an
annual pilgrimage to the Coachella Music and Arts Festival.
Krystee spends her spare time as a "Seeing Eye Dog" for her aunt who
lost her eyesight to diabetes. She volunteers at an elementary school
and actively recycles. Add her warm and charismatic personality and you
would think she was "practicing for sainthood".
Krystee is currently working on a sketch comedy show called Static. It
seems like the perfect gig to show off her versatility and innate
comedic talent. After all, she does love laughing at herself!
