Her paternal grandmother was silent film actress Helenka Adamowska.

Auditioned for a "Charlie's Angels" (1976) remake role (as a dare) and got the part. A writer's strike in Hollywood meant the series was never made, but the pre-publicity was enough to get Tea noticed.

Was going to be one of the new Charlie's Angels in the proposed "Angels '88", along with Claire Yarlett, but the series never got off the ground.

Her father is of Italian and Polish extraction, while her Southern-born mother is of Anglo-Saxon ancestry.
