Shawnee Smith was a daughter of James H. Smith, a financial planner and former US Air Force pilot, and Patricia Ann, an oncology nurse. Her parents moved to California when she was one, and divorced when she was two. Smith went to Ranchito Avenue Elementary School in Panorama City, Los Angeles, and later to the Madison Jr. High in North Hollywood. Shawnee matriculated in 1987 from the North Hollywood High School.

When still a child, Smith began acting on stage in “A Christmas Carol”, and made her television debut in a McDonald’s commercial in 1978. In 1982, Smith had her first movie role in John Houston’s Oscar-nominated adaptation “Annie” starring Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, and Carol Burnett. After appearing in a few TV series, Shawnee had roles in “Not My Kid” (1985), “Crime of Innocence” (1985), and “Iron Eagle” (1986). Her net worth was well set.

In 1986, she played Sonia Russell in nine episodes of “All Is Forgiven”, and the next year secured a part in Carl Reiner’s “Summer School” with Mark Harmon, Kirstie Alley, and Robin Thomas. By the end of the ’80’s, Shawnee starred in “I Saw What You Did” (1988) and Chuck Russell’s “The Blob” (1988). She continued with “Who’s Harry Crumb?” (1989) and appeared in six episodes of “A Brand New Life” (1989-1990).
Shawnee had her prominent years in the ’90’s, beginning with roles in TV mini-series “Lucky Chances” (1990) and Michael Cimino’s “Desperate Hours” (1990) starring Mickey Rourke, Anthony Hopkins, and Mimi Rogers. She then appeared in Stephen King’s-inspired series “The Stand” (1994) and one episode of “The X-Files” (1994). The mid-’90’s was the busiest period in her professional life, as she played in numerous films and series, including the Oscar-winning drama “Leaving Las Vegas” (1995) with Nicolas Cage, Elisabeth Shue, and Julian Sands, and “Armageddon” (1998) starring Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Ben Affleck. Her net worth was rising considerably.
One of Smith’s most notable roles was in the series “Becker”, in which she played the character of Linda in 129 episodes from 1998 to 2004. However, she is probably best known for starring in the first three “Saw” films that grossed around $100 million, $150 million, and $165 million respectively, significantly increasing Smith’s net worth. By the end of the 2000’s, Shawnee had parts in ”The Island” (2005), starring Scarlett Johansson, Ewan McGregor, and Djimon Hounsou, “The Grudge 3” (2009), and the last part of the “Saw” franchise which wasn’t as successful as its predecessors.

In 2012, Smith appeared in Billy Bob Thornton’s “Jayne Mansfield’s Car”, before starring as Jennifer Goodson in the series “Anger Management” (2012-2014) along with Charlie Sheen who plays her husband. Most recently, Shawnee played in “Grace Unplugged” (2013), “Savannah Sunrise” (2016), and is currently in post-production of “Believe” that will come out by the end of 2016.

In 2000, Smith formed the punk/metal band called Fydolla Ho, and they had the album “Untied” released in 2001 before they disbanded in 2004. In 2008, Shawnee and Missi Pyle formed a duet and released a debut album “It’s OK to Be Happy”, and established the record company Urban Prairie Records. However, they ended their collaboration in 2011, even though a second album was planned.

Regarding her personal life, Shawnee Smith married the photographer Jason Reposar in 1998 and divorced him in 2003; Smith has a daughter with him and two sons with musician Kai Mattoon, but her marriage with Mattoon lasted for only a year, from 2005 to 2006.

Stacey Lauretta Dash was born on 20 January 1967, in The Bronx, New York City USA, of Barbadian, Mexican and Afro-American descent. Stacey Dash is an actress in movies and on TV, perhaps best known for her parts in the TV series “The Cosby Show“ in the 1980s, and more recently “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.

So just how rich is Stacey Dash? Stacy is now relatively comfortable with an estimated worth of $10 million, which wealth she has earned by starring in numerous movies and TV shows during a career in the entertainment industry spanning more than 30 years.

Stacey Dash Net Worth $10 Million

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.

Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.

Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.

In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06). She married Emmanuel Xuereb in 2007, but divorced him in 2010 and asked for restraining order against him, claiming physical abuse. Stacy also has a son fathered by R&B singer Christopher Williams, and a daughter (born 2003). She is very open about her political views and often uses Twitter to criticise certain public figures. Interestingly, she supported Barack Obama in 2008, but in the presidential elections of 2012 she expressed her support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
