Darcy LaPier
Darcy Lynn LaPier (born July 9, 1965) is an American former actress and model. Early life LaPier graduated from Portland State University. She also studied drama at the University of Oregon and Huntington Film Institute in Florida. Personal life She was first married, at the age of 19, to Larry Ray Robertson (from 1984 to 1993), but, while participating in a Hawaiian Tropic Beauty Pageant in 1985, she caught the eye of Ron Rice, Hawaiian Tropic's founder. After one date, they quickly became inseparable and were married in 1991. This union produced a daughter, Sterling. While still married to Ron Rice, she met and fell in love with actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, who was married to bodybuilder Gladys Portugues at the time. After learning of Darcy's affair with Van Damme, Rice began divorce proceedings, but upon learning that at the time of their marriage she was not yet divorced from her first husband, he had the marriage annulled. (As a consequence, LaPier was entitled to child support, but not alimony, from Ron Rice.) She then married a now-divorced Van Damme in Bangkok, Thailand in February 1994; their marriage lasted until November 1997. This marriage produced a son, Nicholas van Varenberg
