The daughter of a successful Chicago businessman and a modeling mother, LisRaye McCoy was destined for something great. Fashioning her career after her parents, she first blazed her own trail as a model and businesswoman.  And then in 1998 she burst onto the Hollywood scene in a breakout role as Diamond, in Ice Cube's star-studded classic, "The Players Club."

A beautiful and charismatic actress LisaRaye, spread her wings and continued to work with notable actors such as Queen Latifah in "Beauty Shop,"  Terrence Howard in the indie feature "Love Chronicles", Omar Epps in  "The Wood" and Mos Def in the Sundance film festival sensation "Civil Brand." Not content with one screen, LisaRaye moved to television with roles on The Parent 'Hood and In the House and was one of nine struggling actors featured on Bravo's The It Factor before she landed her starring role on the Will Smith/Jada Pinkett-Smith produced sitcom All Of Us.

All along, the Chi-town Diva never lost her amazing curves and tremendous effect on men. Voted Black Men Magazine's "Sexiest Woman of the Year" for two years in a row (an honor no other star has achieved in the history of the publication) the hazel eyed beauty was also voted top five Rising Female Stars by Ebony Magazine.

Perhaps it was this beauty that first captured the eye of Michael Misick, the Premier of Turks and Caicos Islands. After their fairy-tale marriage in 2006, LisaRaye went from booming starlet to the First Lady of a tropical island. But the honeymoon soon ended in scandal and divorce-- which is still making headlines.
