Chynna Phillips

Chynna Gilliam Phillips (born February 12, 1968) is an American singer and actress. She is a member of the pop vocal trio Wilson Phillips and is the daughter of the Mamas & the Papas band members John and Michelle Phillips and half-sister of Mackenzie and Bijou Phillips.

Born in Los Angeles, Phillips began her career in acting. She appeared in films such as Some Kind of Wonderful, Caddyshack II, Say Anything and as the title character Roxanne Pulitzer in the 1989 television biographical film, Roxanne: The Prize Pulitzer. In 1995, she appeared as Kim MacAfee in the television film Bye Bye Birdie. Phillips voiced the character of Kitty along with her husband William Baldwin as Johnny 13 in Danny Phantom.[citation needed]

In 2011, Phillips was a contestant on the thirteenth season of Dancing with the Stars. Her professional partner was two-time finalist Tony Dovolani.

In 1989, Phillips formed the trio Wilson Phillips with her childhood friends Carnie and Wendy Wilson. The group released their self-titled debut album in 1990. The album would go on to sell eight million copies. The group's second album, Shadows and Light, released in 1992, was a commercial disappointment, despite being certified platinum.

In 1995, Phillips released her debut solo album, Naked and Sacred, but failed to recapture the success she found with Wilson Phillips. In 2004, Wilson Phillips reunited to record their third album, California, which featured cover tunes from West Coast singers from the 1960s/70s.

In the October 15, 2007, issue of People magazine, she was said to be writing songs for a Christian album. She appeared in brother-in-law Stephen Baldwin's documentary, Livin It: Unusual Suspects. In 2009, Phillips teamed up with singer/songwriter Vaughan Penn to form the duo "Chynna and Vaughan". The two released their debut album, One Reason, on September 22, 2009. Wilson Phillips released Christmas In Harmony in 2010 and Dedicated in 2012. As of 2020, they continue to play shows every year.

In July 2016, Wilson Phillips reunited and performed on ABC's Greatest Hits.

Phillips had a drug and alcohol addiction as a teenager.
