Simone Reyes, a distinguished secretary to the esteemed Russell Simmons, left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. Her early career took a captivating turn when she made a memorable appearance in the iconic Beastie Boys music videos "No Sleep till Brooklyn" and "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)" in 1987. This exposure marked the beginning of her brief foray into acting, where she adopted the stage name "Simone" and took on a pivotal role in the 1989 horror film Cemetery High. In this thrilling and gruesome tale, Reyes portrayed one of a group of five female killers who mercilessly murdered male "scum suckers" without hesitation. Although this experience may have been a pivotal moment in her career, it appears that she ultimately abandoned her acting aspirations.
However, Simone Reyes continued to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, rising to the position of director of development at Def Pictures Television in 2015. This remarkable professional journey was not the only aspect of her life that garnered attention, as she is also a dedicated vegan and outspoken animal rights activist.
