Crystal was born October 10, 1981 in Vienna, Austria.

Crystal is one of the few ladies to have been both a Playboy magazine Playmate of the Month and a Penthouse magazine Pet of the Month. (She was also the October 2004's Monthly Playmate in Playboy's Croatian edition.)

She studied for about 3 years, yet at some point according to her, she felt "totally burnt out." So she changed her life and moved to the United States. Her choice was Maui, the ideal place for her hobby, windsurfing.

She started as a swimmsuit model to get enough money for her new life. A model agent from Los Angeles discovered her and she began her career as a glamour model.
