SHANNA FERRIGNO
 |
What would life be life growing up in Hollywood in the home of two time Mr. Universe and an actress mom? Just ask Shanna Ferrigno, daughter of Lou (The Hulk) and Carla (King of Queens) Ferrigno. Shanna grew-up in a family that values a strong personal work ethic and making your own mark. Shanna was working five jobs when the E! Entertainment challenge came along and she continues to work as a personal trainer while pursuing an acting career. The E! Entertainment reality series Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive, from "Newlyweds:Nick & Jessica" executive producer Joe Simpson, puts celebrity off-spring in a "City Slicker" situation. The series features a unique combination of action, drama and comedy as the privileged brood of actors, musicians, high-powered media executives, entrepreneurs and international royalty head to the open range. These celeb kids saddle-up to show viewers what they are really made of as they brave the rugged West, bad weather, moody cows and sometimes each other, during a 100-mile cattle drive on a Colorado ranch. Shanna took the challenge hoping that the others would have the same dedication for raising money for charities that offer therapy for children with disabilities though horse training. "I'm the girl who can dress-up and be the belle of the ball," Shanna says, "but I can also get down and dirty with the boys wrestling cows." What did she learn from her experience on Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive? Shanna replies that, "I loved the physical challenges we faced on the cattle drive, roughing it up, helping my teammates and doing it all for charity. I also learned that there is nothing better than a soft bed and a hot shower!" |
