She has graced the cover of numerous magazines, including LA Direct, Vivmag, Orange Coast, InStyle Weddings, Woman's World, and Latina.[5][6]

Acting

LaRue was the co-host and announcer on

Daytime Emmy Award
nomination in the category of "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series" for All My Children. She also received a nomination in 2004 in the category of "Outstanding Original Song" for composing the song "Dance Again with You", which was used as a backdrop to the lovemaking scene after the third marriage of the characters Edmund and Maria in June 2003.

In 2010, LaRue reprised her role as Maria temporarily on January 5 for All My Children's 40th anniversary.[8]

LaRue also performed in television movies over the years, appearing as Annette Funicello in a biographical movie of the former Mouseketeer and also in the adaptation of Danielle Steel's Remembrance as Princess Serena.

In 2005 LaRue portrayed Linda Lorenzo,

FBI
. Beginning with season five, LaRue became a full-time cast member.

In July and September 2011, LaRue reprised her role as Dr. Maria Santos Grey on All My Children as a guest star as the show wrapped up its network run on ABC. In 2013 she played Agent Tanya Mays in the episode "Final Shot" on Criminal Minds.

In July 2015, it was announced that LaRue had been cast on Fuller House, the revival series of the sitcom Full House. She portrayed the character of Teri Tanner, the vivacious and busty wife of Danny Tanner. The series premiered on Netflix in 2016.[9] She also played the role of the Admirable in three episodes of Mack & Moxy. In May 2019, she was cast on The Young and the Restless in the role of Celeste Rosales.[10]

In February 2024, it was announced LaRue had been cast as Natalia Rogers-Ramirez on General Hospital; she will make her episodic debut on February 26.[11]

Personal life

LaRue's sister Nika was one of the women photographed by convicted killer

Bill Bradford for his collection. She was No. 3 (out of 54 photos) on the poster released by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department to find living victims. Bradford would photograph women he met in bars and photo shoots under the guise that he would assist their modeling careers. The incident was used in CSI: Miami in the season five episode "Darkroom" soon after the revelation.[12] Nika guest-starred in the episode as a reporter. She was initially offered the role of Eva's on-screen sister and a surviving victim, but declined that role, describing it as being "too surreal".[13]

LaRue was married to actor John O'Hurley for two years until 1994.[14] She married fellow All My Children co-star John Callahan in November 1996. The couple divorced in 2005. The couple served as co-hosts of the 1997 Miss America pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The couple's daughter Kaya McKenna Callahan was born in December 2001.[15]

LaRue married Joe Cappucio in June 2010 but Cappucio filed for divorce in 2014.[16]

LaRue and her daughter were stalked by James David Rogers from 2012 to 2022, when Rogers was sentenced to 5 years in prison for his actions.[17]
