Gorgeous Sharlene Martin is a Vancouver, B.C.-bred actress who made her debut as `Melissa Martin` in the direct-to-video slasher flick Possession (1987). Changing her name to Sharlene, she guest-starred on an episode of the Canadian tv drama Bordertown (1989) before playing evil Tamara in Jason Takes Manhattan (1989). Most of Sharlene`s television roles were on Vancouver-based series, such as Broken Badges (1990), The Hat Squad (1992), Street Justice (1992) and Two (1997).

She had very small roles in major movies like Mystery Date (1991) and Pure Luck (1991). Her most prominent role was in the excellent thriller Breaking Point (1994), which starred Gary Busey, Kim Cattrall, and gay-male-porn star turned soap opera star, Jeff Griggs. Sharlene played Kim`s co-worker at a store, and she almost fell prey to Jeff`s charms. Her other roles included the tv-movie The Comrades Of Summer (1992), Cafe Romeo (1992) and Double Cross (1994).
