At a young age Kirsten knew she was destined for stardom. She told her first agent that one day she'd be on a soap opera.

Kirsten and her older brother, Austin.

Kirsten won the "Junior Miss Orlando" pageant as a pre-teen.

Kirsten became the cover girl for the "Talk with me Barbie" in 1997. The doll was sold along with a CD ROM and was the first Barbie to talk (using an infrared scanning device in her necklace.) To work this special Barbie, you sit her in her office, a small desk and computer station, which you connect to a personal computer. Using special software, you select names and phrases from a large database, she loads them into her memory through that infrared necklace, then you play with her like any other doll. {pic on left courtesy mattelmedia.com, pic on right courtesy www.msbcd.com}

Kirsten's character was one of Hannah's (in the blue vest, Ashley Gorrel) friends. {pic courtesy Yael}

In this episode, there was a song contest in class and each student had to stand in front of the class and read one of the songs. He or she read one that is not his own song, because it wasn't a contest about who's more popular, but for who's more talented. So Hannah read Rex's (it wasn't the boy's real name) song and it was about her and his love for her. So when Hannah, Bethany and their two friends (one of them was Ashley) got out to the yard to look for Rex they found out that the boy who wrote it was Marty Hinkle, a chubby boy. Everybody laughed at her, but she didn't care he was fat, she looked at his inner beauty. {pic courtesy Yael}

Another one of Kirsten's early roles (in 1997) was in the Crayola Kids Adventures video "The Trojan Horse." The story is based on Homer's The Odyssey. The series includes only about 5 videos, but features a regular cast who appears in each one, including Adam Wylie, who became a star on Picket Fences. Kirsten was a guest star in this video.

As the film started, we met Paris, the Prince of Troy. Suddenly, three arguing girls appeared in front of him.

The girls introduced themselves as goddesses, or what some people call immortals. (L to R:) Aphrodite, the Guardian of Love {Kirsten}, Athena, the Guardian of War {Cara DeLizia}, and Queen of the Immortals {Brittany Paige Bouck}.

Aphrodite explained the immortals' small problem. The golden apple was supposed to go to the fairest. They didn't know which one of them was the fairest. Their leader, Zeus, has sent them to Earth to let the human mortals decide.

The Prince said he'd help them out, but only if there was something in it for him. Aphrodite said she'd help him find the most beautiful girl.

Each goddess promised him something in return if he chose them as the fairest. Then they started singing.

The actresses were lipsynching and were very dramatic. They had an incredibly choreographed routine. The song was their way to tell Paris that he needed to "Make up his mind."

Aphrodite told him that "love is the choice" and that choosing her would make his "life complete."

The girls used every word imaginable for choose. They told Paris to "elect me," "select me," "endorse me," "tell me the title is mine," and so on. Aphrodite promised that "she could be yours" if he chose her.

They did one last dance, telling him to decide his fate. The same words were being repeated, but the goddesses had lots of different moves.

When the dance ended, the goddesses again asked, "Which one of us is the fairest?" Aphrodite crossed her fingers that she'd be the one.

It must have worked. Aphrodite was chosen. She took the apple and did her Sally Field impression, saying, "You love me, you really really love me." Then she threw the apple to Paris. She disappeared and we didn't see the goddesses again. Paris takes the apple with him and soon Helen, Greece's Queen of Sparta, falls under the spell of the apple and is whisked away to Troy.
