Terrina Chrishell

 Terrina Christopherhell Stause [1] was born on July 21, 1982. Her most well-known role is her role as Amanda Dillon in All My Children and Jordan Ridgeway on Days of Our Lives. Stause was born at Draffenville in Kentucky. She earned her degree from Murray State University with a B.A. in 2003. She worked as a theater actress. Her middle title "Chrishell" was a portmanteau name that she invented to honor the unique birth circumstances. Her mother gave birth to her child at a Shell station. Chris, a Shell station attendant, was there to assist her with her delivery. Strause has, however, denied any information about her birth. She spoke out about her mother's car problems and then walked into an auto-gas station. She was in pre-labor in the station, and the attendant helped her get to an hospital. Strause was born in hospital. Her mother split with her biological father who was half Japanese/half Spanish before she knew she was expecting. Jeff is her step-son. Chrishell Strause skipped a whole year of middle school as she was forced into an encampment. Strause remembered the time she washed her hair in a river, taking food stamps and concealing her identity from her classmates. When she turned 10, her parents "struggled with mental and addiction health." Strause then became a member of the Worldwide Church of God. Strause describes Strause’s mother as independent and self-righteous.
