"I got the nickname Spitfire for a reason. I burned inside to play volleyball. I loved the competition of it." -Summer Altice

biography

Summer Altice was born not in the summer, but in the winter of 1979, two days before Christmas. She was raised in California and was an active participant in athletics while growing up. Her passion for volleyball led her to San Diego State, where she starred for the team as one of their best hitters. Her devotion to academics in addition to her play on the court earned her an Academic All-WAC (Western Athletic Conference) mention in 1998.

summer in all her glory

While Summer could bask in the glory of being a cover girl sensation, she has taken her career to a higher plane by showcasing her acting skills. She had a role in the Showtime series ChromiumBlue.com in 2001 and is set to break out in a big way as Kai in the blockbuster Hollywood prequel The Scorpion King, with fellow beauty Kelly Hu and WWF star, The Rock.

Summer Altice served as tabloid fodder when she was alleged to have caused the split between Helen Hunt and Hank Azaria when she frolicked poolside with the latter at a party. The rumor was soon squashed when it was revealed that Summer was in fact dating Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst. The relationship endured longer than most expected but alas, Summer has since found a new beau in Hollywood hunk Vin Diesel.
