Carmen Electra
In her 20s, Carmen Electra found herself homeless with no car or credit card. After saving $5,000, her boyfriend stole and lost it gambling.
Despite her situation, Carmen, an aspiring actress in L.A., knew she had to maintain appearances. “I didn’t have a penny. I had a beautiful wardrobe and my makeup case, so people didn’t really understand or realize my living situation,” she recalled, masking her struggles as she pursued her career.
