FERGIE
Stacy Ann Ferguson was born on March 27, 1975 in Whittier, California. Known as Fergie, she is a Grammy Award-winning Pop and R&B singer. As a child actress, she appeared on the show, “Kids Incorporated” for several years. Ferguson was also the voice of Sally Brown in two Charlie Brown specials: “It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown” in 1984 and “Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown” in 1985. Later, Ferguson was a member of the female trio Wild Orchid which she fronted with fellow “Kids Incorporated,” star Renee Sandstrom and Stefanie Ridel. Wild Orchid released two albums, but after completing a third album, their record label declined to release it. This prompted an emotional crisis, and Stacy sought therapy. She left the group shortly thereafter. This led to an addiction to ecstacy and crystal methamphetamine. In July 2003, she had a guest role on Nickelodeon’s “Reggie's Big Beach Break.” In 2003, Ferguson took over the lead female vocal duties for the band, The Black Eyed Peas. Ferguson's addition to the band sent the group on a whirlwind of success. In 2006, Ferguson returned to acting, appearing in the movie, “Poseidon.” She is also featured as No. 36 on Maxim's Hot 100 list for 2006. Fergie released her first solo album, “The Dutchess” on September 2006. Ferguson will appear in the feature film “Grind House” in 2007.
