Nia
Peeples, born December 10, 1961 has had better luck as an actress
and television host than as a performer. She appeared for three seasons
on the television show Fame, and later hosted the American version
of Top of the Pops for CBS and a short-lived late-night show called
The Party Machine for Arsenio Hall Productions. She recorded an album
for Mercury in 1988, but didn't generate much response, although Nia's
music later on was featured on the License to Kill-soundtrack. Nia
Peeples was married to vocalist
Howard
Hewett which lasted for only four years. In November 1997 she
married stuntman Lauro Chartrand. 1999 has brought Nia a role as an
undercover cop in the hit CBS series Walker, Texas Ranger.
