Tarita Virtue was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago on February 16th, 1970, to a racially and ethnically mixed Trinidadian mother and Jamaican father, but was raised in Boca Raton, Florida
The origins of her name stems from her premature birth during Carnival, a regional celebration in the Caribbean during the Northern Hemisphere's early spring or late winter. Since the offices during that time usually do not run at full capacity, her parents hastily came up with a name, naming her after the Tahitian wife of Marlon Brando, Tarita Teriipia, after reading a magazine article about the couple.
Tarita was selected as "The Sexiest Private Investigator in America" by Maxim Magazine after her work with Anthony Pellicano ("the PI to the Stars") became public. She has since changed career paths and is now a successful actress and model.
According to her biography, the most common question that she is asked is "What are you?" She usually responds with the answer of "a little bit of everything."
She was both the "Homecoming Queen" and "Student Government President" at Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, Florida.
Before becoming an actress & model, Tarita was a Private Investigator at The Pellicano Investigative Agency in Los Angeles, California.
