Haters Jealous people..

how old is Leisha? just curious.

She just turned 36 back in July She was born on July 11th, 1971 in Okinawa, Japan where her dad was stationed at that time

cool! thanks. she looks a lil younger to me tho.

She does!! Although on some pics you can see a little wear n tear, except for the tear But she's gorgeous.. I wish I would be that gorgeous when I'm 36, lol

yeah! haha and she has a really nice figure for a 36 y.o.! nice skin too.

I sometimes wonder that when she's performing somewhere, like with UHH or at some promo L Word thingy, how she feels about the fact that everybody in that audience has seen her naked, lol

haha...I was wondering about that too! But be crazy!

But yeah, she really does look younger than she actually is! When I first heard how old she was I was like: WWWHHHAAATTT? No freaking way!
Jap, that´s how shocked I was!
But I mean, it´s good when u still look young and damn sexy, right? I think she looks that young, because she still feels young...she doesn´t really seem to care about how old she is!

Especially in the L Word she plays someone who I think is younger, which is great You're as old as you feel

TRUE!

Her grandparents are Lillian and the late Carlos Hailey, she has one sister named Kaydra and a dog named Bandit. She is a 5'6" (1.68 m) vegetarian and currently dates fashion designer Nina Garduno.

As a teenager Leisha came out as a lesbian and moved to New York City where she graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1991. She formed the rock duo The Murmurs (changed to Gush in 2001) with her former classmate at the academy Heather Grody and played gigs in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and East Village. During the 1990s the band moved to Los Angeles, they released 3 albums, as well as performing on several movie soundtrack and toured with Lilith Fair. Their biggest album Blender included a collaboration with Charlotte Caffey and Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Gos; in addition, several of the songs were produced by k.d. lang, Hailey's significant other for several years. Hailey was also the inspiration for lang's 2000 album Invincible Summer.

Leisha left Gush for several years due to her busy acting schedule. They did however release one self-titled album which was only sold at gigs. when Leisha left Gush,
Heater, and John started up a new band called RedCar which are still playing in LA. Recently Leisha and Heather have reunited to pick up where they left off musically, they are writing new material and will likely form a new band.
