The star of over 45 feature films and television programs, Alexandra Paul will next be starring in the Lifetime Original movie A LOVER’S REVENGE (debuts October 17th), as well as starring in CORE: BOILING POINT, and appearing in SHOCKWAVE, both for the Sci Fi Channel. She’s currently filming the independent LOVE THY NEIGHBOR in Toronto. Alexandra most recently starred in the Lifetime Television Network thriller A WOMAN HUNTED, as well as the recently completed independent feature LANDSLIDE and the Lifetime movie SAVING EMILY.

Internationally recognized for her 5-year starring role as Lt. Stephanie Holden in the hit series BAYWATCH, Alexandra Paul began her acting career at age 18 starring in the highly rated telefilm PAPER DOLLS. She then starred in the Warner Bros. motion picture AMERICAN FLYERS opposite Kevin Costner, DRAGNET opposite Tom Hanks & Dan Ackroyd, EIGHT MILLIONS WAYS TO DIE opposite Jeff Bridges & Andy Garcia, Stephen King's CHRISTINE, and SPYHARD with Leslie Nielsen.

Alexandra recently completed her fourth year as host of the extreme sports series WILD WATERS on the Outdoor Life Network; at the same time hosting the WE network series WINNING WOMEN for two seasons. She continues to host the environmental cable access talk show EARTH TALK TODAY.

But acting is far from Alexandra’s only interest. This year, Alexandra is being honored by the ACLU of Southern California as their ‘2005 Activist of the Year’ for her long history of fighting for the environment, voting rights and peace issues. In 1997 the United Nations commended Alexandra for her environmental activism. In 1999, she won the International Green Cross award. She walked across America for over five weeks on The Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament, and has been arrested for protesting at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site.

Alexandra recycles, drives an electric car (her third EV), and will not use any products tested on animals. She has traveled to Nicaragua with a medical aid group and to South Africa to register voters. She is also a certified EMT (Emergency Medical Technician), has been registering voters every Wednesday night for the past ten years when not working, speaks fluent French and is currently learning Spanish. A dedicated and accomplished athlete as well, in 1997, Alexandra spent nine months training for the WORLD IRONMAN TRIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIPS in Hawaii (a grueling 2.44 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile marathon), which she completed in 13:18:52.

In addition, Alexandra wrote, produced and hosted JAMPACKED, an educational film broadcast on PBS about the human overpopulation crisis, which has won several environmental awards. She followed that up with THE COST OF COOL -- FINDING HAPPINESS IN A MATERIALISTIC WORLD, which won a CineEagle award. In 1986, she (along with producer / manager Daniel Sladek) founded YOUNG ARTISTS UNITED, a successful non-profit organization dedicated to helping teenagers in need. Alexandra has personally spoken, classroom-by-classroom, to over six thousand Los Angeles teenagers on the issue of human overpopulation. In 2000, Alexandra and her twin sister Caroline were the recipients of the Christopher Street West Rainbow Award for their ongoing support of gay and lesbian rights.
