Back in early 2004, Carrie Elizabeth Johnson was only 19 years of age when casting crew members of the hit TV show
CSI Las Vegas came into her restaurant Black Angus Steakhouse on Hospitality
Lane in San Bernardino, California. It was her first civilian job after
graduating from both high school in Redlands, California as well as “Advanced Individual Training” from the United States Army Finance School in Fort
Jackson, South Carolina back in 2003. She was a regular front desk hostess,
Monday through Friday when an older black male casting crew member came up to
her on his way out and said, “Hey, you look like you should be on tv. We are
filming over here at the local Redlands theme park the tv show CSI Las Vegas”,
which at the time the theme park was named, Pharoah’s Lost Kingdom. He said,
“We will pay you but it’s only minimum wage who knows this could be your
start out”. Ms. Johnson accepted the offer to make some extra money,
considering she was only making 8 dollars an hour on a 40-hour work week at
Black Angus Steakhouse. She eventually showed up on set for a daytime shoot
that lasted into the early morning hours of the following next day.

Ms.
Johnson never expressed as a child any interest in acting, drama, or theater
which was also carefully reflected in her selected choices in classes and
extracurricular activities growing up in both Missouri and California. She had
her general education courses every semester that was required of her and the
choice in picking electives that either piqued her interest or she felt was a
class that she could get an easy grade in. However, she does acknowledge her
love of music and dancing at an early age and she does not credit her
absent biological father as influencing her interests in both singing and
dancing. It ran in her bloodline on her father’s side that her earliest memories of him
were as a musician and former Saint Louis Radio Personality. Her father was
known to play the trumpet as well as have different musical instruments lying
around his room including the guitar. Carrie later picks up guitar lessons
in her late 30s at her local guitar center, not out of childhood nostalgia but
always having a genuine interest in learning how to play. Throughout Carrie’s
attendance at Delmar Harvard Elementary School, Ronald E. McNair Middle School,
and Brittany-Woods Middle School, her after school extracurricular activities did
align with her interests back then in music, dance, and cheerleading and not
that of acting/drama in tv, films or theater.

Ms.
Johnson goes to exit what was back then in the ’90s a predominantly black
school district in University City, Missouri, and entered a predominantly all-white school district that was Parkway school district. A quiet and reserved
Ms. Johnson did not pick up any extracurricular activities while attending
Parkway Northeast Middle School or Parkway North High School. She was still
adjusting to going from an all-black school to an all-white school district.
When school was out, her mother did not impose heavy demands on her while she
went to work. Her mother could trust her to stay at home by herself and follow
her mother’s house rules while she was at work. If she did not attend summer
school under the Parkway school district, her summer vacations were spent lounging
around the house, doing chores that consisted of cleaning, listening to music,
watching tv, going to the movies, and a family road trip to visit Chicago. She
would spend hours in her room either listening to music or recording various
artist music videos and award show dance performances that she would learn the
choreography at home. Growing up Carrie closely watched choreographers Fatima Robinson (Aaliyah), Tina Landon (Velvet Rope Tour), Laurieann Gibson (Making
the Band), and Blake McGrath (Dance Life) all of whom at some point in their
careers worked with Janet Jackson, a Famous Singer (that I still do not care to read up on who she is and her family past that one Jackson movie that is shown on tv channels for free or listen to songs for free on YouTube). Her mother came home from work one day to
share some news of her company G.E. Capital Mortgage was being bought out by
Wells Fargo Mortgage Company. Her mother Barbara Ann Bradley [designed & sewed Carrie's High School Homecoming Dress] (non-famous person who is not a white person that needs to write about her work history & request her own Missouri Tax Records her damn self and maintain her expenses toward sewing her quilts that she sold to her coworkers that had my school colors and pictures on them that was her additional source of income!) probably spent a decade
working at G.E. Capital Mortgage before being offered to relocate from the St.
Louis office to the Wells Fargo Mortgage Company office, located in San
Bernardino, California.

Carrie
was both optimistic and naive about her move to Redlands, California in the
year 2000 when she was just 15 years old. Entering the Redlands Unified
School District at the age of 16, Ms. Johnson now saw a representation of
black, white, and Hispanic Americans in high school for the first time. She was
eager to get into the entertainment industry when she first arrived in
Redlands, California, and responded to an open call ad in one of the Inland
Empire Newspapers that was looking for models. The ad was semi-misleading and
turned out to be a Barbizon modeling school that rejected her when she was only
sixteen years of age. Carrie’s feelings of being rejected and discouraged did
not last long before she entered her high school talent show at the age of 17.
Redlands East Valley High School showcased some of its student’s artistic
capabilities in the form of a local talent show. Carrie was one of six teenage
girls performing a dance routine to a three-song compilation that included
Shanta Hill-Oluoma (a non-famous person), Brittany Dickerson (a non-famous person), Ashley Hibler (a non-famous person), Ashley Jones (a non-famous person), and
Shimeree (a non-famous person) all dancing on stage in front of students, parents, and former students (Michael Bennett-a non-famous person & black american male/Malcolm O’Brien Cole-a non-famous person & black american male athlete that Carrie only had sex with him one time and neither Malcolm nor Carrie did not exchange numbers nor did either express having an interest in talking to each other past the one night that both Carrie & Trisha Bell, her friend spent the night at his Orange County, CA. apartment long before any negative interactions with two Riverside local law firms of non-famous old ass black men/women/Hispanic, white & Italian lawyers that she was never friends with and did not know nor had good memories of either). Carrie's last performance at the age of 18
was singing the National Anthem in front of her graduating AIT class of 2003
and both faculty and parents were in attendance, except for Carrie's biological parents. Her high school talent show
(only entered 1 talent show) marked Carrie’s last performance in front of an
audience on stage and Delmar Harvard Elementary School was her
first time ever performing either singing or dancing in front of an audience.
Ms. Johnson perceived student clubs, tryouts for cheerleading, or
extracurricular activities outside of her required studies as serving the purpose
of keeping her out of gangs, drugs, self-destructive behavior, or engaging in
violent acts that would either be harmful to herself or to others. Age 17 was
also the age Ms. Johnson impulsively and without thoughtful consideration or
research signed up for the California National Guard on a six-year active and
two-year inactive reserve contract.

Shortly
after graduating high school in June 2003, Ms. Johnson was put on a plane to
Fort Jackson, South Carolina to fulfill the second portion of her training as
part of her California National Guard contractual agreement. She graduates from Advanced Individual Training as a financial management technician at the age of
17. Ms. Johnson returned to her mother’s Redlands, California apartment in
August 2003 still fulfilling her one weekend per month and two weeks out of the
year with the California National Guard. Eager to find civilian full-time
employment, Carrie calls up one of the girls from the talent show performance,
named Shanta who had a car, and asked her if they could go look for jobs
together since Ms. Johnson did not come back with enough money to buy her own
car at that time. Both Carrie and Shanta applied for positions at Black Angus Steakhouse, but Carrie was the one offered the position of full-time
employment fall of 2003. There was never a moment that Carrie could recall her
mother either demanding or asking for her to start paying rent, right after graduating
high school and AIT. She gradually saved up enough Black Angus paychecks to
purchase her first vehicle, which was a light blue Toyota Camry 80’s model car to
get to and from work.

Months
into her position as a front desk hostess and food runner for Black Angus Steakhouse, Carrie Elizabeth Johnson checked into Pharoah’s Lost Kingdom for the first time as
a paid background tv extra. She remembers going into movie theaters to see
veteran actor, William Petersen [Famous Actor] in the movie “Fear”, opposite Mark Wahlberg [Famous Actor] as
well as the movie “The Skulls”, opposite a young and attractive actor named
Paul Walker [Famous Actor]. Carrie[Non-Famous Person/Not-An-Actress] felt she exhibited a certain level of professionalism when
taking either direction or instruction from crew members onset. Again prior to
working on CSI Las Vegas, she had no formal acting training or coaching, and
throughout K-12 Ms. Johnson’s actions or words growing up did not align with
any interests in joining student clubs, such as “drama club”. What does reflect
on her undergraduate transcripts outside of her concentration on paralegal studies or forensic accounting was Dance Appreciation being taught by an openly
gay white man at Riverside Community College.

The
episode that Carrie Elizabeth Johnson participated in as a paid background tv extra was
titled, “Turn of the Screws”. It was shot months prior to its original airdate
on May 6, 2004, and this occurred before she met her baby daddy in Saint Louis,
Missouri in October 2004. Shortly after filming, Ms. Johnson felt it was time
to enroll in a local community college to improve her personal finances so she
could move out of her mother’s apartment. She had established a steady work
routine, as a full-time front desk hostess while balancing her California
National Guard part-time obligations and made the decision to register for
orientation at Crafton Hills Community College located in Yucaipa, California
back in 2004. Based on societal standards, Carrie believed that to improve her
household finances she needed to pursue a higher level of education. It was
taught in school that to get a job, then you must have a high school diploma or
GED. If you wanted to make even more money, then you must pursue a higher level
of education. A car accident that occurred in Yucaipa, California while Carrie was
on her way to register for the class was not a foreseeable life event. She suffered
severe injuries that included a broken arm, crutches, and a leg brace that Black Angus Steakhouse Restaurant only gave Ms. Johnson a couple of days to recover,
before having to return to work. At that point in time, Ms. Johnson had only
been working for Black Angus for less than a year and had not built up any
vacation leave for emergency circumstances. Ms. Johnson’s light blue
Toyota Camry was not recoverable and was not worth paying to get out of the
junkyard.

Carrie Elizabeth Johnson did not end up staying with Black Angus Steakhouse and put in a two weeks
notice to go back home to Missouri for a while in 2004. She put in an
interstate transfer from the California National Guard to the Missouri National
Guard and continued her weekend drills. It was not long before she was on
active-duty service work orders in Missouri at the St. Louis MEPS Station on
May 3, 2004, to September 29, 2004. She was receiving an E-4 pay grade that was
paid on the 1st and 15th of each month and had
established 90 days’ worth of paystubs to take out her first car loan with AmeriCredit [CFPB Response Here]. It was her second vehicle that she worked for and purchased on her
own on September 18, 2004, that had a monthly car payment of $218.11 per month.
Her position as an ADSW within the National Guard office at the Robert A. Young Federal Building in 2004 was providing administrative support to four male
National Guard Guidance Counselors and not being an actor. However, Ms. Johnson
was in the State of Missouri watching the episode “Turn of the Screws” air on
television which she voluntarily participated in as a paid background tv
extra.
