Personal life

She was born in Santa Monica, California, to parents Harry and Constance (née Glazebrook) Norton. She began practicing Scientology at age 13, and became a minister in the church. She married Douglas Taylor in 1976 at the age of 19. In 1978, the marriage ended in divorce.

Still being viewed as a child actress in her early twenties, Norton posed nude for the August 1985 issue of Playboy in a bid to shed her wholesome "family" image. In 1991, Norton married Randy Apostle. They had one son, Devin. They were divorced in 2001.

An avid athlete, Norton has participated in competitive horse jumping and skydiving in addition to skiing and tennis. Her new CD Reflections was scheduled for release in August 2016.
