Lucinda was part of the troupe when Solid Gold's third season began, and a short biography on her was included in press materials for the show. However, her stint was very brief -- so brief that most Solid Gold fans may not realize she actually danced on the show. Born and raised in Hutchinson, Kansas, Lucinda began dancing at the age of four and went on to major in dance at Kansas State University for two years. As a college student, Lucinda competed in the Miss Kansas pageant, where she won the talent division and finished third runner-up.Lucinda then moved to Los Angeles and won a dance scholarship with the Dupree Dance Academy. After 10 months of study at Dupree, she auditioned for the movie Grease 2 (1982) and won a role as one of film's lead dancers. Lucinda also appeared in the movie Ninja III: The Domination (1984), where she played a woman possessed by the evil spirit of a ninja assassin. The movie role she is most famous for, however, is that of Kelly (aka Special K) in the 1984 cult film Breakin' (1984) which also featured Solid Gold dancers Cooley Jackson and Leslie Cook. Lucinda currently lives in California with her husband, Craig Pilligian (who is co-executive producer of the TV show "Survivor") and their two children, according to a July 2000 Hutchinson News article.
