The latest in a line of Roxies that has included Pamela Anderson, Mel B, Marilu Henner, Lisa Rinna and Brooke Shields, among others, Madix began her show business career doing sketch comedy in New York City for such outlets as College Humor, MTV and ESPN.
After relocating to Los Angeles, she worked as a bartender for Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurants SUR and Villa Blanca, gaining a spot on the reality television series Vanderpump Rules in 2013. Her book Single AF Cocktails: Drinks for Bad B*tches has just been released.
A finalist on season 32 of Dancing with the Stars, which had its finale last night – she and pro partner Pasha Pashkov placed third in the competition, losing to Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy – Madix was at the center of last spring’s Vanderpump Rules “Scandoval” frenzy when it was revealed that her longtime romantic partner Tom Sandoval had an affair with Madix’s friend and co-star Raquel Leviss.
The popular Chicago revival is produced by Barry and Fran Weissler and won six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival.
Madix is repped by A3 Artists Agency.
