Blsed wh wholome bety, a flawls plexn, and a tramark mane of extremely curly hair, the photogenic Gayheart qu molg the mid-90s to try her hand at actg. As wh many a young génue before her, Gayheart started her reer daytime before graduatg to primetime, culmatg her biggt role then to date, as Le Perry's doomed Mafia bri on "Beverly Hills, 90201" (Fox, 1990-2000). By 's end, Gayheart had accumulated an imprsive list of televisn creds and seemed well on her way. Unfortunately, the actrs's promisg reer was badly railed 2001 as the rult of a personal tragedy. Thankfully, Gayheart would persevere and followg a tragic accint, fd personal happs a high-profile marriage to Dr. McSteamy himself, actor Eric Dane of "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC, 2005- ) before the uple spl 2018. A real-life Kentucky al mer's dghter, Rebec Gayheart was born on Aug. 12, 1971.

An alumni of the famed Lee Strasberg Instute, Gayheart got her big actg break 1993, when she land the role of the betiful but emotnally disturbed temptrs Hannah Mayberry on the daytime sudser, "Lovg" (ABC, 1983-1995). Gayheart's Hannah stalked llege profsors as her favored prey and beme one of the most lic fixtur the soap's last two seasons. Hot off her daytime succs - and wh her famo Noxzema ads featured promently on TV and prt at that time - Gayheart was poised for the leap to primetime. In 1995, Gayheart won a recurrg role on the inic Fox h, "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990-2000) as Dylan (Le Perry) McKay's long-awaed soul mate (and eventual bri) Toni Marchette.

The reason, as turned out, was that actor Le Perry had been chg to leave "90210" to pursue the clichéd film reer; so, rather than kill off the extremely popular Dylan, producers promised by providg him an open-end ex storyle which he would take an extend leave of absence to avenge his bri's murr. In other words, Toni Marchette's mise was planned om the very get-go. The dawn of the new lennium saw Gayheart's star ntug to rise, wh rol such popular teen feature films as "Scream 2" (1997) and "Urban Legend" (1998). She was also briefly st as a seri regular on the well-received, but short-lived WB drama, "" (1999) - an ensemble drama created by "Scream" screenwrer Kev Williamson.

Sufferg om cril ternal juri, young Cz died the next day at Los Angel Children's Hospal. The boy's parents subsequently filed a wrongful ath su agast Gayheart. In rtutn, Gayheart agreed to pay for Cz's hospal and funeral expens and plead no ntt to vehicular manslghter on Nov. 27, 2001. The actrs was sentenced to three years probatn, a one-year spensn of her license, a $2,800 fe, and 750 hours of muny service. Reprented by high-profile Hollywood lawyer Harland Brn (who also fend actor Robert Blake), Gayheart's sweetheart al was viewed by many crics as merely a slap on the wrist. To make matters worse, on the heels of this embarrassg mea culpa, Gayheart returned to the headl later that year followg yet another unfortunate to accint which she flipped her rental r to two parked vehicl. Luckily, no one was jured or killed this time and no charg were filed. After a long and humblg dry spell, horizons looked signifintly brighter for Gayheart by mid-.
