When Robia La Morte was first cast as Jenny Calendar on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", it was meant to be a one-time guest-starring role as a sexy computer teacher/cyber pagan. However, she turned more heads than expected, prompting creator/executive producer Joss Whedon to keep her around Sunnydale, much to the pleasure of Buffy's mentor, librarian, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head). While the two try to keep their trust discreet, none of the characters are fooled. La Morte was interested in the arts from a young age and dedicated her life to making it in the competitive world of showbiz. She studied at the Los Angeles High School for the Performing Arts and the Dupree Dance Academy. Before she could drive, Robia was dancing professionally at sixteen and was cast in several music videos. A few years later, she met a rock star who was then known as Prince and the two changed each other's lives. She inspired his famous "Diamond and Pearl" theme, was the lead dancer on Prince's European tour and posed for the "Diamond and Pearl" album cover. The two developed a strong bond and La Morte eventually ended up as Prince's spokesperson during his self-imposed public silence. After leaving the wide weird world of Prince at age 22, La Morte tried her hand at acting. She was cast on "Beverly Hills, 90210" as the New York native, Jill Fleming. Her work on the show led to guest starring roles on "The Sentinel", "Lawless", and supporting roles in the films " Earth Girls are Easy" and "Spawn." When asked what she thinks of her current role, La Morte is thrilled: "Jenny is such a great role. It's wonderful to play a character who is smart, sexy, and funny. It's the kind of role I've dreamed of since I first started my career."
