 Gabrielle was
born on October 29, 1973 in Omaha, Nebraska. However, at the age
of 8, her family moved to Pleasanton, CA, where she grew up and attended
high school. In high school, Union was an all-star point guard and
a year round athlete participating in soccer, basketball, and track.
After high school Gabrielle attended college at University of Nebraska,
where she played on the soccer team; and then later transferred to
Cuesta College. Eventually she ended up at UCLA. On her way to law
school, just planning on being a working stiff, things started to
happen during her senior year. Gabrielle had a college internship
at a L.A. modeling agency, she thought it would be an easy way to
pick up some extra credits. Little did she know that clients were
eyeing the help. Upon the completion of the internship, she was asked
to become a client with the agency. Gabby thought of it as a great
way to pay off a stack of college loans, and modeled until her agent
found that she could actually act. Her first audition/job was landed
with out any headshots, on Saved by the Bell. Since then she has
went on to have many small but substantial film roles and has guest
starred on several hit TV shows, all before landing the role of Dr.
Courtney Ellis, on CBS' short lived medical drama City of Angels.
Although she plays parts that are opinionated and strong, Gabrielle
believes that, "Hollywood needs to recognize all shades of African
American beauty." Gabrielle is a graduate of UCLA with honors,
in sociology, and is married to Chris Howard.
