 Biography سيره ذاتيه :
 please send us email for any update or correction
Paula Julie Abdul (of Syrian-Brazilian/French-Canadian ancestry)
was born on June 19th, 1962 in San Fernando, California. The youngest of
two daughters born to Harry (once a livestock trader and now owner of a sand and
gravel business) and Lorraine Abdul (a former assistant to film director Billy
Wilder) she was inspired at an early age by the film 'Singing In The Rain', and
as a young girl her ultimate ambition was to be a successful dancer like her
idol Gene Kelly.
From the age of nine she undertook dance lessons where
she impressed her teachers with her natural ability to dance. She grew up
in North Hollywood, CA where she has at age seven, performed in community
theater groups, spent summers touring in US theatrical productions and begun
studying jazz and tap dance techniques from age ten, to win a scholarship to
study under Joe Traime at the Bell Lewitzky Company.
Attending Van Nuys
High School, then Cal State-Northridge College, Abdul majored in TV radio
studies with hopes of becoming a sports broadcaster.
Following graduation
from high school Paula appeared on the small screen when she was just sixteen
years old in the 1978 movie-musical 'Junior High School'.
In the early
1980's Paula attended and successfully auditioned to cheer for the LA Lakers
dance troupe, the Laker Girls. She defeated hundreds of other hopefuls to cheer
for the legendary basketball team where her unique and dynamic dance style
earned her the position of head choreographer, earning her $50 per game during
her freshman year.
She decides to take up a full-time career in dance and
has already been asked to choreograph a Jacksons/Mick Jagger video for their
single "Torture." This brings Paula into the pop dance arena, where she is now
asked by the head of A&M Records A&R (John McClain) to choreograph for
Paula Abdul, resulting in the hugely-successful generic dance-step visuals for
Paula Abdul's hits "When I Think Of You," "Nasty," and "What Have You Done For
Me Lately?"
Paula quickly becomes recognized as one of the most talented
up-and-coming choreographers in Hollywood and is credited with the choreography
of the films 'Private School' (1983) and 'Coming To America' (1988) the smash
hit comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. She also choreographed
routines for the highly popular TV series 'The Tracy Ullman Show'.
Janet
compliments Paula on her vocals while choreographing one of Janet's music videos
and decides to make the step up from background choreography to the limelight of
stardom.
She uses her money and connections to record a demo tape which
ends up in the hands of record executives at Virgin Records America.
In
May 1988 she recorded and released a single called "Knocked Out" which peaked at
number 41 on the Hot 100. A month later on June 13th Virgin released "Forever
Your Girl", Paula's debut album. Her follow up single "The Way That You Love Me"
peaked at just number 88.
Despite initial poor sales, a third single
"Straight Up" released in February 1989 and was proven to be Paula's
breakthrough to fame and fortune.
"Straight Up," written by genius
songwriter/producer Elliot Wolff shot 'straight up' to number one on the music
charts.
Newfound success allowed Virgin to release the album's title
track "Forever Your Girl" as a single, and that too went number
one.
Paula had her third number #1 in September with the single "Cold
Hearted". "The Way That You Love" peaked at number 3 in December 1989.
In February 1990 Paula had her forth #1 with "Opposites Attract" (along
with MC Skat Kat). To this day Paula remains one of the few female artists to
have four number ones from her debut album.
The 'Forever Your Girl' album
sold over ten million copies worldwide, going multi-platinum and making Paula
Abdul a household name worldwide. In May 1990, 'Shut Up And Dance', a collection
of dance remixes from 'Forever Your Girl' was released as a follow up to its
initial success.
Paula's second album 'Spellbound' was released
in
1991, and it appeared that her success would contain where Forever Your
Girl left off.
The first single from 'Spellbound', 'Rush Rush' went to
#1 in May 1991 and stayed there for an incredible five weeks. Her second single
'Promise Of A New Day' also went to #1 in September. Her third single 'Blowing
Kisses In The Wind' peaked at number six in February 1992, marking the down
point in Paula's commercial success. However, she continued to make headlines
with her highly publicized marriage to Emilo Estevez.
It was around this
time when problems in Paula's personal life began to cloud her career. In 1992
she confessed to suffering from the eating disorder bulimia and checked herself
into a clinic.
She divorced Emilo Estevez in May 1994, citing
irreconcilable differences, although they remain friends to this day.
Her
reputation was also damaged when backing vocalist Yvette Marine claimed she, and
not Paula, had sung the main vocals on several tracks from the 'Forever Your
Girl' album. Paula Abdul and Virgin eventually won the case.
By 1995
Paula had successfully overcome her obstacles and prepared to return to the
spotlight by releasing her third album 'Head Over Heels', a bold departure from
her first two albums, with a mixture of pop, soul and a little bit of
hip-hop.
Unfortunately, a new generation of musicians had overtaken her,
and 'Head Over Heels' peaked at just 18 on the Billboard 100.
Three
singles were released from 'Head Over Heels', including 'Crazy Cool', 'My Love
Is For Real' and 'Ain't Never Gonna You Up' all failed to reach the top
twenty.
In October 1996 Paula engaged and married Brad Beckerman, heir to
the clothing giant, Starter, in a whirlwind romance after they were set up on a
blind date by a mutual friend. They divorced just seventeen months later citing
irreconcilable differences.
In January 1997 Paula ventured into TV,
making her adult acting debut with ABC's Sunday Night Movie "Touched By Evil",
the true story of woman recovering from a brutal rape.
Paula went on to
make appearances on 'Spin City' and 'The Wayan Bros.' sitcoms. More recently she
has appeared on NBC's 'Mr. Rock & Roll: The Allen Freed Story', the cable TV
movie 'The Waiting Game', NBC's 'Saturday Night Live', ABC's 'Sabrina The
Teenage Witch' and FOX TV's smash hit "American Idol."
In 1998 she
released her aerobic video 'Cardio Dance', a follow up to her critically
acclaimed 'Get Up and Dance' video released in 1995. She has also established
her own company, Co Dance.
A starring role in the Broadway musical
'Sweet Charity' was postponed due to production problems.
In 2000 Virgin
Records released a 'greatest hits' package containing all fourteen of Abdul's
hits including fan favorite, "Crazy Love", a b-side found on the import version
of "Head Over Heels."
Never before has there been an artist who has been
equally recognized, awarded and celebrated "in front of the camera" as well as
"behind the camera."
In front of the camera, Paula's extraordinary music
career is exemplified by worldwide album sales exceeding 30 million records, two
(2) #1 Albums, six (6) #1 Singles, a Grammy Award, seven (7) MTV Awards, two (2)
Emmy Awards, two (2) People's Choice Awards, and (2) Kids Choice Awards just to
name a few.
Paula has also been honored with her very own Star on
Hollywood Boulevard, and was inducted into Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Hall of
Fame.
She also has three long haired Chihuahuas named: Thumbelina, Tulip
and Tinkerbell.
