Who Is Theresa Randle?

Theresa Ellen Randle was born on the 27th of December 1964 in Gary, Indiana. As a result of her love for performing, she decided to prepare herself towards her goal of becoming an entertainer by studying dance and comedy. She is a graduate of Beverly Hills High School, where she was admitted under the school’s special program for extraordinarily gifted kids.

After her college education, Theresa Randle began her acting career in the theater, landing her first role at the Los Angeles Inner City Cultural Center.

She convinces herself that the job is just acting but eventually ends up trapped in the seductive, dark world of phone sex.

Randle initially intended to work as an undercover staff at a phone sex company in order to prepare for the role but on second thought, she chose to be honest and simply say that she was doing research. Sadly, the three companies she tried all turned her down so, she turned to a handful of consultants, as well as people who were experienced in the phone sex business and luckily, they gave her all the information she needed to construct an identity for her character.
