Carol Grow was born as Carol Hovenkamp and raised in Overland Park, Kansas. At age 15, she starred in her first TV commercial. She became Miss Kansas in 1994, and made it to the finals of the Miss USA pageant. She is now married to former Florida Gator Monte Grow. After becoming Miss Kansas, Carol appeared in the East Coast Girls Calendar and sent in some pictures to Venus Swimwear. Appearing in the pages of Venus Swimwear was probably her biggest break. She has modeled for them since 1995 or 1996, and this helped her land several TV spots, including Co-Ed Training (ESPN2), Bodyshaping
… More (ESPN2), and Search Party (E!).
