Born in Wilmington, Delaware, yet raised in Scranton, Pennslyvania, Cynthia began studying chinese martial arts at the young age of 13. Years later, she started testing her skills against others on the competiton circuit; which led to her becoming 5 time US forms and weapons champion.
After an early appearence in an 80's KFC commerical, she made her way to LA, where she went to a open audition for D&B flims. As it turned out , the audition was for a male role. But after seeing Cynthia display her martial skill, she was chosen and they reworte the part just for her. Her first film was called "Yes Madam" (aka In The Line Of Duty) which had Cynthia starring opposite Michelle Yeoh, Tsui Hark and Sammo Hung (Cameo). Unfortunately, this would be the first and last time, these action queens would be seen together in the same movie.
After making many remarkable movies in HK and Indonesia, Cynthia returned to America, starting in many b-movies, which had made her a fan favorite on cable TV and at video stores.
Recently she can be
seen gracing the covers of Draculina and Femme Fatale, where she "bears all" for the camera. Beauty, brains and braun all wrapped into one-a deadly combination.
