Whether we look at it from the aspect of career achievement or marital affiliation, Alicia Rickter’s name will always find a way to make it to the public. She is the wife of Mike Piazza – a baseball Hall of Famer. Moreso, she has had a career as a model and actress who worked for Playboy and appeared in films and series such as Baywatch (2000-2001) and Buying the Cow (2022).
Her Early Life and Family
Alicia Rickter was born on September 21 1972 in Long Beach, California. She has two brothers named Robert and Michael.
Her mother is Diane Seminara. Due to Alicia’s mother’s second name, she may be of Italian descent. This assumption is based on the fact that “Seminara” is a surname linked to Italy and was first found in the Calabria district of the country.
In any case, Alicia’s husband’s father (Vince) is from Italy while her mother-in-law, Veronica is Slovak.
He was however born in Norristown, Pennsylvania in the United States as Michael Joseph Piazza on September 4, 1968. He is 56 years and is about 4 years older than Alicia who is currently 52 years old.
Alicia Rickter Started Her Rise to Fame in the 1990s
Piazza’s wife started her rise to fame as a model and later as an actress.
As a model, she largely became famous for being a Playmate. In 1995 at 23, she became the October Playmate of the Month and it boosted her career at the time.
In 1998, she appeared in an episode of Unhappily Ever After. A year after, she played Rose in Thanks. Other series she featured in include Baywatch (2000-2001) and Off Center (2001).
At 30, in 2002, she played Laura in Buying the Cow and afterward, there hasn’t been much information about her career as an actress. Hence, it is believed that she dropped the pursuit.
She served as the Vice President of a Football Club
In 2016, the Italian football club, A.C. Reggiana was acquired by Alicia’s spouse. The club didn’t thrive well at the time of his leadership, especially when the budget of the team skyrocketed.
This then led to Alicia’s place as the vice president of the club. Reports suggest that she slashed the cost of the club but unfortunately, they failed to register the team in the 2018-2019 Serie C season and it led to the club’s loss of its sporting title and subsequent exclusion fr the Italian professional leagues.
She lost her place in the club when it was declared bankrupt in December 2019.
