Extremely cute, slim and shapely blonde sprite Hope Marie Carlton was
born Hope Marie Rizzitano on March 3, 1966 in Riverhead, New York.
Carlton began modeling at age thirteen (her mother was a professional
model). Hope was the Playmate of the Month in the July, 1985 issue of
"Playboy" magazine. She went on to appear in several "Playboy" videos
and a bunch of "Playboy" special edition publications. Carlton
portrayed feisty federal drug enforcement agent, "Taryn", in three
enjoyably low-brow, low-budget action pictures for director
Andy Sidaris:
Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987),
Hawaii Connection (1988) and
Heiße Girls und scharfe Schüsse (1989). Moreover, Hope
acted in a handful of B-flicks and even a few horror movies (she has a
memorably sexy cameo in
Nightmare on Elm Street 4 (1988)).
Among the TV shows, she made guest appearances on, are
Das A-Team (1983),
Eine schrecklich nette Familie (1987),
L.A. Law: Staranwälte, Tricks, Prozesse (1986),
Charles in Charge (1984),
Zurück in die Vergangenheit (1989) and
Baywatch - Die Rettungsschwimmer von Malibu (1989). Carlton owned and
operated the resort, the "Sorrel River Ranch", with her one-time
husband, Rob Levin, in Moab, Utah.
Hope and Levin had a daughter, prior to divorcing in 2005. Hope Marie
Carlton now lives in Colorado.
