The British born model has created Smith Entertainment Group alongside her husband, veteran NBA star Kenny Smith. Leading by example, the power couple hope to bring culturally blended programs with positive influences to the viewing public. MOST spoke with the entrepreneur about growing up in Europe, raising a family and taking Smith Entertainment Group to the next level. With her infectious smile and determined spirit, we can all agree, priceless...seems pretty rightWe have to know, is it as fun as we suspect it is to spin The Wheel? Absolutely! Not quite as fun without the sound effects. It has a nice weight to it.Having shared the stage with countless contestants during your time on The Price is Right, is there a particular moment with a contestant or a family member that stands out?For Nurse%u2019s Day, a contestant won a car in the showcase. It was extra emotional for me as I hugged her because my mum recently retired after working 40 years as a Labor & Delivery nurse. I know how hard they work and how much they help other people. I was overjoyed to share this special moment with her.Allow us to take a step back, can you share with us a bit about growing up in Bath? What were some of the traditions or customs you shared as a culturally blended family? Bath is a beautifully quaint, safe city. I enjoyed the freedom of riding my bike in the city throughout my teenage years to visit my friends. This is something kids nowadays, especially in large cities like Los Angeles cannot do. It%u2019s very picturesque and scenic. I loved being outdoors. My mum and dad made sure we were part of the Multicultural Club that held events to be inclusive of everybody.What lead your family to Miami, Florida? A major move during your teenage years, what do you remember most about the transition and how quickly did your family adjust? My family went through a drastic divorce, one parent stayed in England and the other in Miami. I quickly learned how to fit in at a new environment and country by utilizing my love of music to soothe my soul and connect with people who appreciated the arts just like me.
