Nikki
Cox Biography
Currently
she stars in her own show "Nikki.". This unique take on
the American Dream set against the bright lights and unlimited optimisim
of the Las Vegas strip. Nikki and her husband Dwight (newcomer Nick
von Esmarch) came to Las Vegas straight out of of high school to
pursue their ultimate dreams: to become a showgirl and a professional
wrestler, respectively.
Opening
with big-production dance numbers each week, Nikki was created by
Veteran comedy writer and Peabody Award-winning executive producer
Bruce Helford, along with Deborah Oppenheimer ("Drew,"
"Norm") and Bob Myer ("Cybill," "Rosanne")
for Warner Brothers Television.
She appeared
in the movie The Nutty Professor II - The Klumps and played "Taylor"
on the ABC Norm show.
Five
years she portrayed the drop-dead gorgeous and extremely intelligent
20-year-old Tiffany Malloy, the middle child of the Malloy clan,
who's decided to save her virginity "for some wrinkled old
wheeze bag with a ton of money and a month to live" in the
sitcom Unhappily Ever After. "Tiffany is self-absorbed, but
she's also very smart. She always finds the opportunity to get what
she wants. She also likes to use her sex appeal as power over her
peers," Cox says.
At the
age of four she wanted to be in show business. At 9, she was dancing
professionally. Discovered by a prominent dance agent while attending
classes, which led to her professional debut on the comedy film
Mac and Me.
Dancing
temporarily held center stage with appearances in Michael Jackson's
Moonwalker; a Los Angeles Music Center Ballet Tour; The Joffrey
Ballet; Paula Abdul's music video Forever Your Girl; The MTV Awards
and The Arsenio Hall Show.
At age
10, Cox won her first speaking part guest-starring in Mama's Family.
Her other television credits include Star Trek: The Next Generation,
Night Court, Murphy Brown, California Dreams, Eerie, Indiana, Webster,
Baywatch, The Second Half, The Nanny and Boy Meets World. Cox also
had starring roles in the made-for-television movies The Ryan White
Story and the sci-fi thriller The Presence. She was also a series
regular on NBC's Someone Like Me. She played Gina Cates, Jagger
Cates' long- lost sister on ABC's General Hospital for two years.
At 14, she gave up dance for acting.
On the
big screen, Cox was featured in the Steven Seagal/Keenen Ivory Wayans
stared The Glimmer Man and appeared in the box-office hit Terminator
2.
