Antonette, daughter of a California Cardiologist and his Registered Nurse wife, was a First Runner Up for Miss California before breaking into film and stage work. She has extensive training in ballet, and worked in various dance related projects before and during her film career. Her later film roles included a small part in the Mel Brooks version of "To Have and Have Not" - she recalls with fondness Mr. Brooks arriving for filming driving not a "Movie Star" car but a modest Honda! Antonette is married and has two children. Written by her cousin Mike.
