Misty, "Mrs. Pippa Peppers": "A real class act."  The few that know the real Misty understand her the best.  Probably one of the strongest individuals in the business for being able to roll with every punch thrown her way.  She was born to a litter of pure breeds in a small town in Kansas.  She was content with her simple life there until someone from Hollywood saw her modeling photos in a puppy calendar.  From that moment when she had to say goodbye to her mother and siblings, she knew things would never be the same.  The camera loved her, and apparently so did everyone else.  She dated everyone's dog from JFK Jr.'s to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's.  Everywhere she went, the cameras followed.  Every time she was at the dog park, the paparazzi was there.  It took two years, or 14 doggy years, for her to become comfortable pooping in public.  Any moment she thought she had to herself would resurface the next day in the tabloids.  She was a smart girl, she knew this would happen and expected it.  This is what set her apart from other stars, she accepted it because it was the life she had chosen.  Again, she was content, and seemingly happy, until a scandal almost ruined her career.  It was a dark night, darker than most, when Misty's limousine made an unexpected stop.  She thought nothing of it when the driver exited the 110 freeway at Redondo.  Maybe they were getting gas, she thought.  She then knew something was up when the road turned into Compton Boulevard.  Her suspicions about her companion's drug problems came to fruition as she learned he was on his way to score a major deal on some crack and a new baby Chihuahua.  Those on the outside saw this as jealousy, that she was being replaced by a younger potential talent, but those that knew her well saw that she didn't want any other puppy to grow up the way she did.  She was at the scene of the crime when her companion died in a flaming crack house.  She stayed out of the limelight for a while after that and adopted a new family.  After the media storm died down, she started working again.  Now that the worst is behind her and the best of her years are to come, Misty is taking on smaller, and perhaps more challenging, film roles that mean more to her career than fame and money.  She can be seen in an upcoming short film at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
