As we all know, Dixie is best known for playing Dr Nikki Daniels in the VHS classic Up! She also appeared as Detective Anita Blake in The Killing Zone and Captain Anya Landis in Mortal Kombat: Legacy. More recently she played Agent Jacqueline Talbot in Quantico and Dana Scully in The X-Files revival.
She has also done many voice roles including Squirrel Girl in various Marvel animated series and films such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and Spider-Man: Homecoming, Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty and its sequel, Eloise in Hotel Transylvania 2, plus Tigger in The Incredibles 2.
Dixie was born Deborah Ann Gocek in Chicago, Illinois to an Irish father and Polish mother. Her paternal grandfather came from Scotland so she is part Scot too! When she was six years old her family moved to Southern California where she grew up.
Her first love was dance and she trained professionally before deciding to try acting. In 1999 she landed the role of Melinda Samuels in the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan which ran for five seasons until 2002.
Since then she has starred in several TV shows and movies but none quite like her earlier work. This article will look at her career in more detail and how she got here.
After high school, Dixie made her way to Los Angeles to try out for a career in acting. She was not successful in landing a role, but she did meet someone who could help launch her into fame!
Dixie met an aspiring model named Eva Karell at a party where both were attending college. Since they had some things in common (both loved action movies), Dixie invited Eva to come watch one of her movie nights with her and her friends. During this meeting, Eva told Dixie that she needed to start her own modelling agency because she knew most of the models and could get them work more easily than trying to recruit them herself.
So, Dixie started working as Eva’s assistant at the agency she now runs — Nutskinner Models. And since then, Nutskinner has grown to include many other famous faces like Kaley Cuoco, Hailey Baldwin, and Jaclyn Hill.
Now, Dixie spends her time running the business while also developing new talent. It is very much her passion.
Before she was known for being one of the stars of MTV’s The Real World, Dixie Davis (D’Amelio) was running for president. Not only did she put her name in front of the word “candidate,” but she made it clear that she would not be accepting any money or assistance from anyone else while campaigning.
In an interview with CNN’s Lou Dobbs, D’Amelio said, “I will never take funds from corporations. I will never take funds from special interest groups. And I will never take funds from high-income individuals.”
When asked if she accepted donations as a member of Congress, she replied, “no, absolutely not!”
She went onto say how disgusted she was when she learned that some members of congress were taking corporate sponsored trips and spending time with lobbyists after they left government work. She described this as totally unacceptable and out of control.
Before we get into how she became famous, let’s talk about her career before politics. You may have heard of this now-famous entrepreneur, but you probably don’t know much about her.
Dixie is best known as one of the cofounders of the social media site Fb, where she worked for over ten years. She also launched another company called Path, which was bought by Facebook in 2009.
But before all that, she had an impressive career working in finance. In fact, she made so much money at one investment bank, she was able to buy a house in Bel Air!
She paid just under $2 million for it back in 2000, according to property records. It has since been sold and cost around $3.5 million, making her net worth close to $700 thousand today. (source)
Her success didn’t come without controversy, though. In 2011, she resigned from her position at FB after claiming she found pornographic material while doing work there.
It’s important to note that even though she claimed to find porn at work, she never reported anyone or anything to authorities. Many people believe she wanted the job and promotion she received after finding the porn so she would keep quiet.
Before she became famous for being one of the few women in Hollywood with large breasts, Dixie Davis was known as an accomplished politician. In fact, she was elected mayor of Phoenix three times, which is more than anyone can say about her today!
Davis ran for president twice, and while she didn’t quite make it all the way through the primaries, she did manage to secure over 1 million votes — that’s almost half a million people who voted for her!
Her running mate was also very popular – he received nearly 2.5 million votes alone! The pair are both credited with introducing the concept of “Running Mates” back in 1980, where each candidate picks someone they want to work together with during the election process.
She’s now famous not just for having big boobs, but also because she was one of the first (if not THE FIRST) female politicians to have them on display for everyone to see.
Before she became famous for being one of the few women in Hollywood with leading man status, Dixie d’Amelio was known as an accomplished political strategist. She helped create The Dixie Project, a nonprofit organization that trains underprivileged high school students how to organize community events.
D’Amelio also worked on former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s successful 2002 re-election bid and his failed 2016 Presidential candidacy. In fact, she is credited with helping him win over half of America!
She now runs her own firm, which includes organizing programs for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns in both the Democratic primary and general elections. Dixie even helped manage Senator Bernie Sanders’ (IRA) campaign for President.
Before we get into how she is famous, let’s talk about what made her popular in the first place. In 1998, Dixie was elected as President of the United States. She ran this election on a platform that focused on bringing back America’s good old days when white men were in control.
Her running mate was Bob Dole, who became known for saying “no” a lot. Together they called themselves The Re-Americans. This name didn’t exactly resonate with most people though. Many referred to them instead as The Boring Duo or even The More Boys, The Merrier Team!
Their main focus was to bring back segregation by having whites vs. blacks races in separate schools. They also wanted to repeal laws against slavery and discrimination towards minorities. All of these policies would be funded through tax increases on wealthy Americans only.
Before she was known for being the first person to run an official presidential campaign, Dixie d’Amelio was most well-known as one of the stars of MTV’s The Real World. Her fame came not from running for president or even making a name for herself in politics, but rather her dramatic exit from the show.
D’Amelio left the house after only six weeks due to what she described as racist behavior towards her. While some argue that her departure was because she didn’t like how the other cast members interacted with each other, many believe it was because she felt targeted by another member — someone who is now famous for having been accused of sexual harassment.
After her departure, D’Amelio began to gain attention for speaking out about issues such as racial equality and gender inequality. Since then, she has made several appearances on talk shows and podcasts to share her experiences and opinions on these topics.
Her rise to political stardom comes more than five years later when she announced her candidacy for President of the United States at the age of 30. Although this may seem young to some, she is among the youngest people ever elected to Congress.
She currently represents California’s 10th District in the House where she continues to make waves by using social media to spread her message and meet new people.
Before she was famous for being one of the most powerful women in Hollywood, before she became known as the ultimate workaholic, Dixie Davies was just another student attending Palisades High School. She grew up in Pacific Palisades, California where her father worked at an investment firm and her mother owned a successful bridal store.
Davies’s childhood wasn’t very glamorous but it did afford her with some important lessons. Her parents were always there for her and she never lacked resources or opportunities.
She is now a well-known businesswoman who helped pave the way for other working mothers to succeed in their fields. In fact, she made history when she ran Donald Trump’s unsuccessful 2016 presidential election bid.
