Juliet Cariaga

Penthouse Pet of the Year 2000 Juliet Cariaga began her career with a December 1997 Pet of the Month feature, achieved at age 19. Born Erica Diane Lookadoo on December 5, 1977 in San Bernardino, California, she is an American actress, adult model, and stuntwoman. She stands 5'8" with an average build, natural 36C breasts, blue eyes, and brown hair.

Cariaga's work extends beyond Penthouse. She modeled for Playboy Newsstand publications as Leah Darby and appeared in Perfect 10 (August 1997, Aug/Sept 1999) as Erica Lookadoo. On film, she performed stunt work in There's Something About Mary and appeared in Raising Helen and Stuck on You. Her on-screen credits include softcore girl/girl scenes.

Legal troubles touched Cariaga's career in the 2000s. She was among women connected to Philadelphia businessman Andrew Yao, who was convicted of bankruptcy fraud and later pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering charges. Cariaga reportedly cashed $39,000 in chips on Yao's behalf at the Bellagio in February 2002. Yao received a five-year prison sentence. Cariaga has not spoken publicly about these events, and her current projects remain undisclosed. That period aside, she retains a varied portfolio spanning print, film, and television. Small in stature but notable in legacy, Cariaga remains a recognizable figure from the late-1990s glamour era.
