Carmit Bachar, the original Pussycat Doll who toured with Ricky Martin and later danced with Janet Jackson, is quietly turning a childhood scar into a creative comeback — and her story is more personal than fans realize. Read on to discover the full story!

From scar to spotlight

Bachar was born with a cleft lip and cleft palate, underwent surgeries as an infant and faced ridicule while growing up. Performing became her refuge. She had major maxillofacial surgery at 16 and an unexpected procedure at the end of January that she is still healing from.

Tour life and big stages

Her résumé includes touring as the Vida Loca girl on Ricky Martin's Livin' la Vida Loca tour in 1999, work with Janet Jackson, and appearances in music videos for Michael Jackson, Aaliyah and Beyoncé. She rose to fame as an original member of the Pussycat Dolls.
