[edit] Life and career
Nichols was born in Rogers Park,[1] Illinois, to a father of Romanian and Hungarian descent and a Texan mother of Spanish-Mexican ancestry.[2] She was raised in Chicago, Illinois. She is the oldest of three siblings, having two younger brothers. A rebellious teenager, Nichols stated in an interview with AskMen.com, "I remember being 17 and looking around at some of the people that I was hanging out with, and I had this realization that if I didn’t knock this off now it would become my life", and replaced her rebellious behavior with more productive activities like acting.[3]
Nichols, a Scientologist, is an active advocate of Criminon and the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. She became a member of Church of Scientology when she was introduced to it by her chiropractor.[2] She currently resides in Los Angeles, California.[4]
Marisol married Taron Lexton on April 13, 2008. They welcomed their first child Rain India Lexton, born September 30, 2008.[5]
