Kuizenga, was a Presbyterian minister and seminary professor.When questioned about always being glamourous and beautiful on the Ellen Show, Romijn reveal that as a child in her early teens that she was in fact an insecure ‘drama geek’ and as a result of her growth spurt she suffered from scholiosis and was constantly in pain. Many sources say that she was once nicknamed the “Jolly Blonde Giant” because of her 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) height, but she has admitted to making that up “for a laugh”.While studying music (voice) at the University of California, Santa Cruz,she became involved with fashion modeling and eventually moved to Paris for more than two years.
