Melissa Brasselle Career
She started modeling in her late teens. She was having a hard time at the time because no one was hiring her at the time because she had an ethnic appearance. Melissa persisted and got a full-page magazine as a spokesperson for 3M, which caught the attention of a local photographer. In 1989, Playboy launched a nationwide search for more than 50,000 girls for their 35th anniversary. An already submitted photo on a Polaroid placed her in the top five and landed her on the pages of playboy for their 35th anniversary. Although she continued modeling, she had not found her true passion.
She went for an open audition with a friend for the live Batman stunt show that landed her the role of Poison Ivy. Melissa tried to get the stunt industry job after job, including a spot on a team of four for Tru TV’s “Impossible Heists”. Once the show ended, she went to train in a wrestling camp for her role as The Italian Mafia Princess. She is known for her work in action films such as Demolition High, The Curse of the Komodo and Camel Spiders, which also starred her daughter Hayley DeMarco. When she wasn’t acting in movies, she wrote them or did stunts in big movies or wrote songs and scores.
