Terrina Christelle

 Terrina Chrishell Stase (11) was born on July 21, 1981. Her most well-known role is her role as Amanda Dillon in All My Children, and Jordan Ridgeway on Days of Our Lives. Stause was raised in Draffenville (Kentucky). She earned her degree from Murray State University with a B.A. She was an actor in theater in 2003. The name she was given, Chishell was a portmanteau that was created out of the peculiar circumstances surrounding her birth. Her mother went into labor in Shell Station, and Chris, her attendant helped her to deliver her baby. Strause's book debunks the myths about her birth. She claimed that her mother was experiencing car problems and decided to stop at a petrol station. She entered pre-labor while she was at the car station. The attendant in the car helped her get to an emergency room. Strause was born in a hospital. Her mother, who was half Japanese/half Spanish, split up before Strause knew she was expecting. Jeff is her father. Chrishell Strause missed middle school for the entire year because she had to live in the shelter of a tent. Strause recalled the time she washed her hair in the river, taking food stamps and hiding her real identity from her peers. Her parents "struggled with mental and addiction health" and joined the Worldwide Church of God when she was 10 years old. Strause describes her mother as self-righteous and free-spirited, and she never had an income that was steady.
