Gabrielle Carteris
Carteris's mother moved with her children to San Francisco, California, where she set up a children's clothing store. While attending high school in Marin County, California, Carteris took an interest in the arts, studying ballet and performing as a mime on a European tour at 16 years old.
She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts.
Carteris is Jewish. She married Charles Isaacs, a stock broker, in 1992, and has two daughters with him named Kelsey and Mollie.
In the March 17, 2008 issue of People magazine, Carteris described an injury suffered while filming a TV movie in Vancouver, Canada, in 2006 that partially paralyzed her face and affected her speech for over six months.
Career
In 1990, Carteris was cast as studious school newspaper editor Andrea Zuckerman on Beverly Hills, 90210. At age 29, she was the oldest cast member to portray a high school junior (In season 1, the cast portrayed juniors, which meant Carteris' character was also a junior, not a sophomore.
In season 2, all of the cast repeated their junior year except for Brian Austin Green, who was promoted from a freshman to a sophomore). Carteris left the series in 1995 and became the host of her own tabloid talk show, entitled Gabrielle, which lasted only one season.
In 2003, she participated in the first season of the celebrity reality television show The Surreal Life. She later provided the voice of Elektra in the video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.
