Terrina Christelle

 Terrina Christopherhell Stause was born July 21, 1982. She is most famous for her role as Amanda Dillon in All My Children and Jordan Ridgeway on Days of Our Lives. Stause was born in Draffenville in Kentucky. She earned her degree from Murray State University with a B.A. She began performing in theatre in 2003. Her middle name "Chrishell" is an acronym derived from the word "chrishell" in response to the unique birth circumstances in 2003. Her mother was found in labor at an Shell station and the attendant who was named Chris was able to deliver the baby. Strause's book debunks the myths regarding her birth. Strause told Strause that her mother was experiencing car troubles and that she stopped at an auto repair shop. She entered pre-labor while was at the car station. The attendant in the car assisted her in getting to the hospital. Strause was born in the hospital. Her mother, who was half Japanese/half Spanish, split up before Strause knew she was expecting. Jeff is her stepfather. Chrishell Strause was forced to live in a tent during a year in middle school. Strause shared her memories of hiding her existence from her classmates by describing how she washed her hair in rivers and applying food stamps. At the age of 10, her parents "struggled with addictions and mental health." She then became a member of the Worldwide Church of God. Strause describes her mother as self-centered and self-righteous.
