BIOGRAPHY
Lorenzo y de Santos Lamas was born on the 20th January 1958 in Los Angeles, son of Fernando Lamas and Arlene Dahl. He was raised in Pacific Palisades until the family moved to New York in 1968. He went to a private school, Admiral Farragut Academy, and graduated in 1975, after which he moved back to California. Encouraged by his father, he went to Tony Barr's Film Actors Workshop. He started his career in 1976 with a small TV role. He began learning martial arts (karate and taekwondo) in 1979, and now has a blackbelt in shotokan.
Lorenzo divorced his first wife Victoria Hilbert in 1982 after only one year of marriage. After another whirlwind marriage (2 years) to Falcon Crest publicist, Michele Smith, he was left with two children, daughter Shayne (born November 85) and son Alvaro Joshua (born December 83, known as AJ, he is also an actor). On the 20th January 1989, he married his third wife Kathleen Kinmont, daughter of his Falcon Crest co-star Abby Dalton, at the Elvis chapel in Las Vegas. They were divorced in 1993, but continued to work together on Renegade for another couple of years until Lorenzo met his next wife and unceremoniously fired Kathleen from the show.
Lorenzo married his fourth wife Shauna Sand on the 27th April 1996, at his mother's house. They have three daughters, Alexandra Lynne, born on the 22nd November 1997, Victoria, born 24th April 1999, and Isabella Lorenza, born 2nd February 2001. Lorenzo also has a daughter, Peyton Lee, (born 1988) with another Falcon Crest co-star, Daphne Ashbrook, making a total of 6 kids - 5 girls and a boy.
Lorenzo divorced Shauna in 2002, and he even had an restraining order out against her, claiming she attacked him. (Just who had the blackbelt? lol!) He is now engaged to yet another Playmate, Barbara Ann Moore.
Lorenzo also has commercial pilot licences for flying aeroplanes & helicopters, which come in handy for his charity work as a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight, who provide free medical-related air transport to those who can't afford it.
