Terrina Chrishell

 Terrina Chrishell Stanse is an American actress. She is most famous for her role as Amanda Dillon in All My Children, and Jordan Ridgeway on Days of Our Lives. Stause was born in Draffenville in Kentucky. She earned her B.A. from Murray State University. She performed as an actress in the theater in 2003. The name she chose for her middle name, "Chrishell", is an evocative term developed from the bizarre circumstances of her birth. Her mother gave birth at a Shell station, and Chris assisted with the delivery. Strause asserts that the rumor regarding her birth is untrue. She said that her mother was experiencing car problems and decided to stop at a petrol station. She enrolled in pre-labor while she was at the station. The car attendant really helped her reach a hospital. Strause was born at an in-hospital. Her mother split with her biological father who was half Japanese/half Spanish before she realized she was pregnant. Jeff is her stepfather. Chrishell Strause had to live in a tent in middle school, so she missed a full academic year. Strause remembers washing her hair in a river, taking food stamps and concealing her identity from her classmates. At the age of 10 years old, her parents "struggled with mental and addiction health." She then was a member of the Worldwide Church of God. Her mother was never able to have a steady job and Strause describes her as free spirit and self-righteous.
