Nina Merchant

Nina Merchant, adorable looking from infancy, was hand picked for commercials and prints from the age of 3. Even then she knew how to pose for a camera and turn her smile on and off on demand. By junior high she was well into her acting lessons, performing in plays, and getting bookings for TV, documentaries, and commercials. She was the 1st Runner-Up in the Miss Teen Beauty Pageant for the East Coast in 1990, won the Miss Photogenic Award and was voted by her co-contestants as Miss Congeniality. She is also a cum laude graduate of Georgetown University and was a national-level tennis player through school.
