Full Leeann Tweeden Biography
Born to parents of Spanish, Filipino, and Norwegian ancestry, Miss Tweeden grew up in Virginia a self-proclaimed "tomboy". After graduating from Osbourn Park Senior High in 1991, she passed up acceptance into Harvard University in order to pursue a career in modeling. Upon moving to Colorado Springs, Colorado, she worked briefly as a Hooters waitress before winning her modeling job, gaining first place in the Venus International Model Search in 1992. From there, she traveled the United States doing promotional appearances and hosted the 1993 Venus Model Search competition, which she returned to host in 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997. During this time, she relocated to Los Angeles, modeling for Fredericks of Hollywood, Hooters (appearing in their 1993 & 1994 calendars), Playboy magazine (as a covergirl), and Playboy's Book of Lingerie, in the November/December 1994 issue. She also appeared in the video 'EdenQuest: Pamela Anderson' (1995). In 1996, she landed a spot on the ESPN2 show 'Fitness Beach,' as well as a layout in the August 1996 issue of Playboy magazine. In 1997, she was chosen as the model for the lead character in a No Mercy comic book, titled 'Coven 13'. She continued modeling for various magazines, including Playboy, and put out her first calendar in 1998, featuring the photographs of Mario Barberio.
Returning to the small screen, she became a regular on the half-hour Fox Sports Net/Speed Channel motor-cross show 'High Octane' and also hosted Fox Sports Net's 'Blue Torch', an extreme sports show. In addition, Leeann was a correspondent for an installment of E!'s 'Wild On' series. She can currently be seen on "Best Damn Sports Show Period, The" (2001) also on Fox Sports Net, and her pictorials can be found all over the Internet. |

Additional Leeann Tweeden Biography
Leeann Velez Tweeden (born June 13, 1973) is an American model and television personality of Spanish, Filipino and Norwegian descent.
Tweeden was born in Manassas, Virginia. She graduated from Osbourn Park High School a year early. Tweeden eschewed college altogether and instead pursued a career in modeling. Just two years after leaving her Virginia high school, while working as a hostess at a Hooters restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado, she won first place in the Venus International Model Search in 1992. This break led to national exposure. Tweeden modeled for promotional work for Hooters and Venus International along with Frederick's of Hollywood and Playboy.
The March 2007 Issue of FHM (which was the final printed US issue) features Leeann as the cover girl.
Tweeden will join the Covino and Rich show on Sirius radio 108 (Maxim Radio) on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
“If it weren’t for those men and women, there’s no way I’d be on TV or be able to do FHM,” Leeann says. “I’d probably be covered in a burka—and what a waste that would be.” |
