Peta Gia Wilson (born 18 November 1970 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian actress, lingerie designer and model. She is best known as Nikita in the television series La Femme Nikita. She is the daughter of the caterer Karlene White Wilson and Darcy Wilson, a former Warrant Officer in the Australian Army. She spent several years in Papua New Guinea when her father was stationed there. Wilson worked first as a model in Australia and in Europe before moving to Los Angeles in 1991. There she studied acting with Arthur Mendoza at the Actors Circle Theatre, and with Tom Waits at the TomKat Repertory Group. After five years of study, she was hired for some small roles in independent films such as Naked Jane and Loser. In 1996, she was preparing to continue her studies at an acting school in New York City, but decided to audition first for a new television show being produced for the USA cable TV channel in North America. Over 200 actresses auditioned for the starring role, and Wilson was chosen. The show was called La Femme Nikita, based on the French action thriller movie La Femme Nikita (1990). It ran for five years and 96 episodes (22 episodes per season for four years, and another eight episodes in its fifth and final TV year). She also starred as the vampire Mina Harker in the 2003 film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. In 2009, Wilson starred in an Australian independent film Beautiful. She guest starred on CSI: Miami (2010) and The Finder (2012). In 2012, she launched a lingerie label, Wylie Wilson, with a flagship store in Los Angeles.
