Kirsten Babich.
While her name may not be familiar, most probably know what she looks like. And most probably see her every day and don't even realize it.
From her bright, blond hair to her smile that stretches from ear to ear, Babich's glowing image graces television sets across campus daily. But she goes by a different moniker to UConn students - she's the "See Sammy Girl." She is the spokes girl for Nissan of Norwich, a local car dealership.
Babich is, like most college students, in that she enjoys shopping, eating out and traveling. She's a student at Salve Regina University in Rhode Island pursuing a degree in early childhood education with a minor in special education, is an avid member of the Special Olympics Organization and is on the school's dance team.
Growing up, she aspired to be like her older sister Cara, participating in her town's local summer theater productions at seven years old.
"My older sister always did theater and it looked like so much fun, so as soon as I met the age limit I wanted to tag along with her," Babich said. "I continued to participate in productions for my school and the community theater, culminating in playing the leading role in a statewide touring production of Hans Christen Andersen's The Little Mermaid. During the summer of '05, I was offered my first big screen role and have been expanding my resume with film and television credits since."
Most may be wondering, "What big screen role?" Why, her role in "The American Poop Movie" of course.
Originally titled "The Connecticut Poop Movie," "The American Poop Movie" is a comedy that follows the story of a college graduate named Russ who's going nowhere in life and needs to decide between leaving town or staying put. While that's fine and all, the first billed name on the imdb.com listing isn't Russ - it's Babich as Attractive Girl #1.
"I worked as a team with my partners in crime, Attractive Girls #2 and #3, and our purpose in the film was to be the oh-so-tempting jailbait," Babich said. "We lure the lead characters, who are college grads mind you, to a high school woods party. You can imagine that things got a little out of hand."
