Charisma Lee Carpenter (born July 23, 1970 in Las Vegas) is best known for playing the character Cordelia Chase in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel. She studied classical ballet since age 5. As a youngster, she entered many local beauty contests. Charisma attended Gorman High School in Las Vegas. At 15, they moved to Rosarita City, Mexico, and then to Bonita (a suburb of San Diego) where she attended Bonita High. Charisma finally transferred to Chula Vista School of Creative and Performing Arts, where she graduated in 1988. In high school, she was a cheerleader. After graduating, she traveled throughout Europe, then went on to college. She also worked as an aerobics instructor and in property management. In 1991, Charisma was a cheerleader for the San Diego Chargers.
Charisma was in a number of theatre productions, such as "No, No, Nanette" and "Welcome Home, Soldier". She started in an episode of "Baywatch" (1989) in October, 1994. Because of that appearance, Aaron Spelling personally auditioned her for the role of Ashley in "Malibu Shores" (1996) which had a brief run from March-June, 1996. Her hobbies include: horseback riding, rollerblading, hiking and rock climbing. She has prudently switched to writing poetry instead. In 2002 she got married to Damian Hardy and on March 24, 2003 she gave birth to a boy. Carpenter posed for the June 2004 issue of Playboy magazine.
