Always up for a party, model Shaune Bagwell was born Shaune Stauffer on Nov. 18, 1973, in Houston, Texas. The Miller Lite spokeswoman sought the spotlight at a young age. When she was just 12 years old, a local modeling agent persuaded her parents to let her audition for a TV commercial. Shortly after, she landed a small role in the 1986 comedy Vasectomy: A Delicate Matter.

Blessed with both beauty and brains, the 5'8" Bagwell seriously considered a career in medicine. Her studies of bacteriology and the theory of a New Ice Age earned her top accolades at several engineering science fairs. Despite scoring in the top 1 percent of her class on her college entrance exams, Bagwell turned instead to modeling. A fan of the fashion industry, Bagwell has appeared in several magazines, including People, InStyle, US Weekly, and Women's Wear Daily. She was also named one of the "50 most eligible women in the world" by FHM magazine.

The model eventually ended up in Los Angeles to pursue her dream of acting. However, she wasn't as successful with this pursuit as she was with science. She appeared in Days of Our Lives and co-hosted the game shows Extreme Gong, Opportunity Knocks, and The Most Outrageous Game Show Moments. She also had bit parts in films such as The Contract, The Sex Monster, and Can't Stop Dancing.

Bagwell was married to MVP baseball player Jeff Bagwell from 1992 to 1996. She has a daughter with NBA basketball player Travis Knight.
