Born on a ranch in North Hollywood, California, Spice Williams rode her horse to kindergarten and grew up playing in her father's medical offices. She eventually hit the road as a musician, singer and dancer under contract to 20th Century-Fox Records.Overcoming a seven-year-long drug and alcohol problem at the age of 26, she turned to God, nutrition and exercise, promising to help others to turn their lives around. As she got older she changed the course of her career and began studying acting for stage and film. After hearing about roles for female warriors, wrestlers and super-heroines, she began to kickbox and bodybuild, slowly creating a niche for herself. Just turning 52, Spice has worked in such features as Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989), The Cherokee Kid (1996) (TV), From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), _Guyver, The (1991)_ , A Simple Plan (1998) and For Love of the Game (1999). She has also guest-starred on numerous TV shows, including "Roseanne" (1988), "My Two Dads" (1987), "Women in Prison" (1987), "Mama's Family" (1983), "The Bold and the Beautiful" (1987), "Step by Step" (1991), "Smart Guy" (1997), "Diagnosis Murder" (1993) and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997), in what she terms as an "action actress." "In fact," says Spice, "I can't remember doing a role where I wasn't asked to perform some kind of physical feat." She has worked in a 7UP commercial where she had to pick the spokesperson up (who weighed in at 225 lbs.) and carry him out of a department store. She has played many different roles, including a part as an erotic dancer in the Robert Downey Jr./Mel Gibson film The Singing Detective (2003). For over nine years she has been stunt-doubling Deidre Hall (Marlena) on "Days of Our Lives" (1965) and recently played the jail cell bully Veronica, who fights Marlena. In July of 2004 Spice worked on a Clint Eastwood film, Million Dollar Baby (2004), and then had a blast working on an independent film in Michigan called Dead End Road (2004). Just recently she was seen on the TV show "Scrubs" (2001). Stunts came into play almost 20 years ago when Spice was asked to double an actress playing a judo instructor opposite Rock Hudson. Since then she has doubled for such stars as Louise Fletcher, Meg Foster, Katharine Ross, Clare Carey, Cindy Pickett, Linda Kozlowski, Eileen Brennan, Becky Ann Baker, Kelly Preston and many more. Spice is also a stunt coordinator and you can see her creation in the controversial Miller Lite commercial where two beautiful girls are dukin' it out over the taste of the beer!Although Spice has crashed cars, dived through glass windows, taken stair falls, executed 30-foot ratchets, 50-foot high falls and hung from helicopters 300 feet above the ground, she is perhaps best known for her ability to pick a 300-pound man up over her head in a fireman's carry.Gracing the cover and pages of over 100 magazines, both here and abroad, Spice has also made a name for herself as a nutritional expert with her popular book, "Diet For A New Age", not to mention her ongoing magazine columns in "Ms. Fitness" and "Natural Muscle" magazines, and her successful joint venture with her husband: a popular line of vegetarian food products called "Spice Of Life Meatless Meats & Jerky." She holds a Masters degree in Fitness Science and is currently going after her PhD in Holistic Nutrition. In December of 1998, she was voted into the Marquis Who's Who in America-West and this year became one of only three women to take a black belt in the style of arjukanpo, involving five combatant styles. One of her greatest honors was posing for a 30-foot bronze statue where she represents the past, present and future female athletes of the Olympics. Spice's goal is to continue to set an example for the "women of the new millennium" -- spiritually focused, mentally alert, and physically capable. Spice is married to Gregory Crosby -- screenwriter and first-born grandson of actor/singer Bing Crosby and they have a beautiful nine-year-old son, equally healthy and active!
