Early life

She was born Concetta Sellecchia in The Bronx, New York, New York to Italian parents. At age twelve, she moved to Pomona, New York and attended Pomona Junior High School. While attending Ramapo High School in Spring Valley, she first became interested in the performing arts.[citation needed] Although she matriculated at Boston College, she withdrew to pursue a career in acting.

Career

Sellecca first worked as a fashion model before her acting debut in the film The Bermuda Depths in 1978,[1] followed by Captain America II: Death Too Soon, a TV movie starring Christopher Lee and Lana Wood. She then starred as lawyer Pam Davidson on The Greatest American Hero, the girlfriend and foil to the main character. After Hero ended, she was released from her contract in time to audition for the part of promotions manager Christine Francis on the television drama Hotel, opposite James Brolin. She played this role from 1983 to 1988.

More recent work includes a role in the 2006 film The Wild Stallion.

Personal life

Selleca was married to actor Gil Gerard throughout much of the 1980s.[citation needed] Since April 4, 1992, she has been married to infotainer/pianist and former Entertainment Tonight host John Tesh. They have a daughter, Prima.[2] Like Tesh, Sellecca is a born-again Christian.[3]
