Early years

Guerrero was born in Chicago, Illinois. She was the daughter of Walter Coles who was an American of English descent and Lucy Guerrero who was from Chile. Guerrero spent her childhood living in San Diego and Huntington Beach, California. In 1972, when Lisa was 8 years old, her mother died of cancer. To cope with the loss, her father enrolled her in theater therapy. Her mother and father worked for the Salvation Army, her grandparents were involved in The Salvation Army, and so on for many generations on each side of the family.

Career

Currently, Lisa stars in the award-winning Feature Film "A Plumm Summer" with Billy Baldwin, Henry Winkler, and Jeff daniels. The family movie has won numerous awards on the Family Film circuit from Ireland to Australia. "A Plumm Summer" was released by Paramount Studios on DVD in May to North America online at Amazon, WalMart, and Best Buy. Guerrero began her show-business career in the 1980s as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Rams. After being a cheerleader for the Rams, she moved on to be the entertainment director for the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots. Later, in the 1990s, she moved on to star in Aaron Spelling's Sunset Beach. In 1997, she became a sports-anchor on Los Angeles' KCBS station and later KTTV station.

In 1999, she moved to the Fox Network, where she participated in such shows as Sports Geniuses, Fox Overtime, Fox Extra Innings and the Toughman competition shows. She travelled to Egypt to tape the special Opening the Tombs of the Golden Mummies. Guerrero also starred in the San Diego Chargers magazine-style television show. She also co-hosted The Best Damn Sports Show Period, alongside Tom Arnold and Michael Irvin, among others.

In 2003, she left The Best Damn Sports Show Period to join ABC's Monday Night Football television crew. Her performance on the broadcast was the main reason for the highest ratings the show had in years. The show hired her with the intention of going in a totally different direction with the job of sideline reporter — personality-driven and feature-driven — then discarded all of that and told her to just do the job in the usual fashion. She said that she never would have taken the job if she had known that they would change their minds like that. ¹. Guerrero left the Monday Nite team and the ratings dropped to lower than before she arrived.

The Los Angeles Times has called Guerrero, the hardest working sports reporter. The Hispanic Business Journal named her one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in America. President Bush invited Guerrero to host a Hispanic luncheon at the White House. On February 3, 2004 Guerrero married former Baltimore Orioles MLB pitcher Scott Erickson.

In December 2005, the then 41-year old Guerrero was begged by Playboy to be the Cover, 20 years after their first offer to her, she agreed and posed for the January (go to lisa guerrero (one word).org) 2006 issue of Playboy. ² After her pictorial, Guerrero said that Playboy had asked her to pose for the magazine in the mid-1980s but as a young model it felt like crossing the line. ¹ Happily married, it was a great transition from sports into the entertainment world.

On June 15, 2006, Guerrero became a correspondent on the TV newsmagazine Inside Edition. Guerrero also became the co-host of VH1's game show The World Series of Pop Culture. Since Guerrero's arrival at Inside Edition, the show's ratings went up 17 percent. In February 2007, Inside Edition viewers got the chance to dress Guerrero up for the 79th Academy Awards. Viewers voted online to choose what Guerrero will wear to the show. Guerrero occasionally writes a blog for the Los Angeles Times sports section, Fabulous Forum, in her free time. It's been highly read across the country and dealt some very interesting subjects for the sports page. On October 6, 2008, Guerrero referred to Sarah Palin as a "monkey" on her blog. She said "All in all it’s been a rough few days for the monkeys. On Friday night, the Angels’ Rally Monkey let down the home crowd in Anaheim. Although the team triumphed Sunday night in Boston, you can’t credit the monkey unless he sneaked into Jared Weaver’s suitcase. On Saturday, John McCain’s rally monkey, Sarah Palin, popped up in Carson. Fresh off of her victory over herself at the debate, her campaign let Palin out of the cage to rev up the fan base."³
