    Other Interesting Information:

    PERSONAL
    HISTORY:
    (as of
    03/99)
    "I grew up in Thousand Oaks, California. Today, I live in a guest house on my mom's [Debbie] property in L.A. It's convenient because she helps me manage my business affairs. My dad [Doug] is a department-store buyer and also lives in L.A. Soon I'll be shopping for another place to live in L.A. with my fiancé, Keith Christian, who's a law student at Columbia University in New York."

    SEXY STYLE: "High-heeled black boots make me feel sexy, because I'm short— 5-foot-2."

    FASHION
    PHILOSOPHY:
    "I'd rather buy a piece of art than spend a lot of money on something I can only wear until I'm photographed in it. I learned that recently with probably the most expensive outfit I ever purchased—a $1,200 Dolce & Gabbana gold-colored suit. I wore it when I was a guest on Rosie O'Donnell. Now I can't wear it again."

    CLOSET
    STAPLE:
    "A pair of scruffy overalls that I used to wear to the darkroom at Yale, where I studied photography for a year. They smell like darkroom chemicals. I love that."

    PERSONAL
    QUOTES:
    "I wouldn't want to be a superstar, like Julia Roberts or Madonna, and be on the cover of 'US' magazine when I'm twenty - that's how you know you're really hot. I'd rather have a long respected career."

    WORDS TO
    LIVE BY:

    "Live every moment to the fullest and never take anything for granted."

    Just plain silliness

    ORIGIN OF
    NAME: 'KELLY'
    Several theories. It could be related to the first name Ceallach or the surname O Ceallaigh, which may mean either "church" or "warrior" (Gaelic). Or it is possibly related to a Pictish word meaning "wood" or "holly."

    ORIGIN OF
    NAME: 'MARTIN'
    "or Mars" (Latin) from the Latin name Martinus. Possibly a form of MARIUS.

    COMMENT Does this make Kellie Martin a "martian warrior"? or perhaps an alien who has come to Earth to setup a New World Order?! Anything is possible.
