Apollo Smile

Apollo Smile (born Paula Apollo Anne Scharf) is a pop music songwriter, singer, and voice actress. Her early work included a track for the Tom Cruise film Days of Thunder and a self-titled album released in 1991. Later, she adopted the moniker "The Live Action Anime Girl" and was invited to various science fiction conventions as a guest. Her appearances at these events typically featured music concerts with her original upbeat songs and demonstrations of her martial arts skills. During this period, her signature look consisted of skin-tight spandex outfits, with her blonde hair styled in pigtails secured by pink bows.
In the summer of 1998, Smile hosted Sci-Fi Channel's Anime Week. Other significant projects included a self-published comic book in which she was the central character and her role as the voice of Ulala in the Space Channel 5 video game series.
In more recent years, Apollo Smile appears to have stepped back from the "anime girl" persona she created, pursuing smaller, more conventional roles in film and television. She also toured briefly with the Virginia "Atari" band Rockbot.
She is currently listed as staff at The Dance Corner dancing school in Killingworth, Connecticut.
