Gabriella was born in
Los Angeles but grew up on the beaches of
Northern California . She auditioned for fashion print work on a whim as good a way as any to pay for
Veterinarian school. Her fashion print work led to runway modeling in
Europe before she returned to California.
Gabriella had always been fascinated with movies from when she was a little girl with
Rita Hayworth being her favorite actress at the time. Her first major role was in a movie called ''Centerfold'' (later renamed ''Naked Ambition''). After that, she would go on to appear in 18 features over the next two years. It was her appearance in the
Nicolas Roeg drama, ''
Full Body Massage '', (as the younger flashback of
Mimi Rogers ' character, Nina) that drew the attention of
Erotic film producers and kept her steadily employed in a variety of
Softcore movies. She behaves like a common whore in most of her films, getting it for the pleasure of the viewers.
In her spare time Gabriella enjoys playing with animals, reading, and cooking with friends.
