Apollo Smile

Apollo Smile (born Paula Apollo Anne Scharf on February 16, 1967 in New York City) is a pop music songwriter, singer and voice actress. Among her earliest efforts was a track on the Tom Cruise film Days of Thunder and a self-titled 1991 album. Later on, she billed herself as "The Live Action Anime Girl" and was invited to several science fiction conventions as a guest. Her convention appearances usually showcased music concerts featuring her original upbeat music and demonstrations of her martial arts abilities. Her typical look during this time was skin-tight spandex clothing, with her blonde hair in pigtails tied off with pink bows.

Smile hosted Sci-Fi Channel's Anime Week in the summer of 1998. Other notable projects included a self-published comic book featuring herself as the central character and the voice of Ulala in the Space Channel 5 video game series.

In more recent years, Apollo Smile has seemingly moved away from the "anime girl" role she created for herself, seeking small but more conventional film and television roles. She also toured for a short while with the Virginia "Atari" band Rockbot.

She is currently listed among the staff at The Dance Corner dancing school in Killingworth, Connecticut.
