Birthday: Dec. 4, 1964.
Birthplace: Buffalo, N.Y.
Occupation: Actress.
Real name: Nancy Noble. Chelsea was a nickname that I took because there already was a Nancy Noble in the Screen Actors Guild.
Current home: Los Angeles.
Marital status: Single.
Car: A white 1990 Chevy Blazer.
Working on: Playing Kate on Growing Pains and being the spokesmodel for Clarion Cosmetics.
Worst job: When I served bagels in the student union in college and used to burn my fingers.
The book I’ve been reading is: I just reread East of Eden by John Steinbeck.
Favorite performer: Ava Gardner.
Prized possession: A stuffed monkey that I’ve had since I was born. I keep it on my bed.
The worst part of my job is: All the Hollywood games that people play.
Someday I’d like to teach my children: To be kind. If you’re kind, you like yourself more, and it improves your self-worth.
People who knew me in high school thought I was: A nice person.
My most irrational act: Within a week after deciding to come to L.A., I packed my bags and left.
My most irrational fear: That an obsessed fan will stalk me.
Behind my back my friends say: “She’s so private.” People in L.A. really like to get in there, but I enjoy my privacy.
If I’ve learned one thing in life, it’s: There’s nothing more important than your values. Mine are love and respect for all people and all things. Nothing else matters because it all goes away.
My most humbling experience: My career. You don’t get everything you go for.
Three words that best describe me: Learning, loving, faithful.
