Kirstie was born in Wichita, Kansas. During her college years, she moved to Los Angeles, but not to pursue an acting career quite yet. She worked as an interior designer and got involved in Scientology. Her appearance on several game shows including Match Game and Password Plus reportedly sparked her interest in being on the TV screen.
