Michelle Helen Lombardo was born in Glastonbury, Connecticut, to parents Peter and Janice Lombardo on September 16, 1983.

A born athlete, Michelle Lombardo was the captain of her volleyball team at Glastonbury High School. She attended the University of Connecticut for a year before deciding to take the plunge and head West. Her goal was to find her fortune in Los Angeles, in the lucrative world of modeling and acting.

Far from being born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Michelle Lombardo did what countless others have done when attempting to break into the industry; she got a waitressing gig. Not exactly the most glamorous job, but fortunately for Michelle, she wouldn't be serving food for long.
