Whatever Happened To...?  
Whatever Happened To Singer Sheena Easton?

Born Sheena Shirley Orr in Scotland on April 27, 1959, Sheena was the youngest of six children (two brothers, Robert and Alex and three sisters, Marilyn, Annessa, and Morag).  Sheena's father died when she was only ten and her mother worked as a labourer to support the family.

Sheena decided to pursue a singing career after seeing the movie T"he Way We Were" starring Barbara Streisand at a local movie theatre.  She was so moved by Streisand's voice that she wanted to have the same impact on people.

She married Sandi Easton in 1979, but the marriage only lasted 8 months.  Sheena decided to keep the last name and would be known as Sheena Easton.

In the same year, a show "The Big Time" was looking for a relative unknown in order to film a documentary following his/her career throughout the process of becoming a pop star.

Sheena went and was immediately casted as the relative unknown.  Her talents won her an audition for EMI Records.

The rest is history.

In her career, she came out with big hits such as "Modern Girl", "Morning Train" and "We've Got Tonight" (with Kenny Rogers) and "U Got The Look" (with Prince).

In 1987, she also guest starred on the hit TV show Miami Vice, portraying Caitlin Davies, Sonny Crockett's wife. The ratings were so good that the producers asked her to return for five more episodes.

Well what has see been up to since?

She had made a cameo appearance in the movie "Indecent Proposal" and was the voice of the Irish setter in the animated film, "All Dogs Go To Heaven 2.".

She had been releasing albums during the mid 1990's that did very well in Japan and other countries oversea.  She has two adopted children, son Jake, 10 and daughter Skylar, 8.

In 2000, she settled in Las Vegas with her children and had a regular Hilton show to strut her new stuff.  She liked doing the shows because it gave her the opportunity to go home at night and be with her kids.  She also co-starred with David Cassidy in a Broadway style show at the Rio Hotel.

She is still performing shows at the Hilton in 2003, but it will only be part-time.
