Her seemingly flawless genetic make-up comes from an interracial mix; her father is Italian, her mother African-American.
Another point of interest is that shyness was a major obstacle in Leila's life, one that she tried to overcome by throwing herself into high-school cheerleading. The plan obviously worked, because soon thereafter she was out and about, and is now a much more extroverted and self-assured person.
Although her obvious good looks and Hollywood connection -- her mother now works for Lucasfilm -- made her a prime candidate for the spotlight, Leila initially opted for a career behind the scenes. Upon graduating from high school, she moved to San Francisco, where she dabbled with both graphic designing and photography before becoming a make-up artist.
However, upon being crowned Miss San Francisco in 1997, it was only a matter of time before Leila would find herself permanently in front of the camera lens. In fact, her repertoire as a model/actress grew rather quickly, appearing in both commercials -- including 1-800-COLLECT and Starburst -- and in music videos with the likes of Boyz II Men.
Such work eventually brought her to the attention of writer-producer Tim Stack, who thought she would be perfect for his new series, Son of the Beach, a parody of Baywatch. Arcieri won the role of Jamaica St. Croix, thus allowing her to break onto the acting scene.
That same year Leila was selected as the Coors Lite Beer 2000 Spokesmodel, and quickly solidified her position as a hot commodity within the industry.
Her other film credits include B-movies such as Hot Boyz, Foolish, Beverly Hood, and Higher Ed. Leila also has her own online business venture at www.exoticspices.net, a website featuring hot models that she manages, proving that she's got a full plate on her hands with many goals yet to fulfill.
Leila continues to enjoy the single life (that's right guys, she's single) and prefers staying home with a good book than going out.
But for all the fuss that is made over her red-hot looks, Miss Arcieri says she doesn't want to veer off into the nudity arena and pose for certain magazines. Instead, Leila looks to someone like Julia Roberts for inspiration.
"She's America's sweetheart, yet she hasn't had to become a sex symbol or use her body."
Luckily for Leila Arcieri, she too has enough talent to secure a very promising future!
Leila is busy auditioning for movie roles and was recently approached by MTV to be a year-round VJ. We wish her all the best.
