At the age of 20 she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her career in acting. Upon arriving, she found herself waiting tables for 8 years while waiting for that one break she needed. During this time Paula told me she changed agents about a hundred times and went on a kabillion auditions. Paula said "it takes years to become an overnight success." She soon landed her first acting role in one of a series of notable "Don't Drink & Drive" Public Service Announcements, appearing with Aretha Franklin.

Pacific Blue represents Trickey's second starring role in a television series; her first being in NBC's "Tradewinds." She has also had recurring roles on "Beverly Hills 90210," "Renagade," and "High Tide." In addition, Paula has guest starred in such series USA's "Silk Stalkings";ABC's "Who's the Boss," "Step by Step," "Civil Wars," and "Home Free"; CBS's "Designing Women," "One West Waikiki," and "Raven"; HBO's "Session"; FOX's "Fortune Hunter" ;and Steven J. Cannell's "Marker" and "Cobra."

Her feature film work includes a starring role in "A Kiss Goodnight" and co-starring roles in Castle Rock Productions "Mr. Saturday Night," Concorde's "Black Scorpion," and Magnum Entertainment's "Lovecrimes."

She also guestarred in two episodes of Baywatch, where she played a young woman who was a con-artist. She had a young daughter, called Joey (I think), who spent some time with your all-american lifeguard family when the mother (Paula) was arrested. It was a two-part episode called "Silent Night, Baywatch Night", by the way. Later in the season the kid (Joey) was back in the show for some episodes. The idea then was that the mother had DIED !!!! Which then led to Paula's lead role in Pacific Blue. (Thanks to Sture Jonsson (sture.jonsson@lu.erisoft.se) of Sweden for the Baywatch information.)
