Terrina Chrishell

 Terrina Chrishell Stause[1] (born July 21 31st, 1981) is an American actress. Her most well-known role is her role as Amanda Dillon in All My Children and Jordan Ridgeway on Days of Our Lives. Stause was an Draffenville, Kentucky native. She attended Murray State University and received her B.A. She was an actor in the theater in 2003. Her middle name "Chrishell" is a portmanteau word created based on the unusual birth circumstances: her mother went into labor at the Shell station with the attendant who was named Chris helped deliver the child. However, in her book Strause does not deny the gossip surrounding her birth. She claims that her mother was experiencing car problems and pulled into a gas station. As she waited at the station, she was in pre-labor. The attendant in the car was genuinely helpful in getting her to the hospital. Strause was delivered in the hospital. Her mother separated from her biological father, who was half Japanese/half Spanish before she realized she was expecting. Jeff is her stepfather. Chrishell Strause was forced to stay in a tent during a year during middle school. Strause shared her memories of hiding her life from her classmates by describing the way she washed her hair in the rivers and applying food stamps. At the age of 10 years old, her parents "struggled with mental and addiction health." Strause then was a member of the Worldwide Church of God. Strause describes Strause's mother as self-righteous , uncontrollable, and she has never earned a steady income.
