Terra Jolé Odmark was born on May 25, 1980 in Comal County, Texas. His parents are called Richard Odmark and Isabel Odmark. His father Richard lost his life to alcoholism.
During her high school days, Jole sang in the choir and wanted to be a Hollywood star early on. She pursued her dreams as fast as she could, but it was not without difficulties and challenges that her dwarfism worsened.
Even before arriving in Hollywood, Jole went through a lot of heartaches and disappointments growing up, all because of her size. She was once denied a spot on a high school choir show because she was too short.
Jole in 2001 decided to move to Los Angelespursue a singing career. Luckily for her, she came across a message saying that True Life, a hit MTV documentary series, was looking to cast midgets with unusual jobs or already working in the entertainment industry.
Jole called the producers to tell them about her dream of becoming a singer and they were immediately impressed, so much so that they were ready to send a crew to San Antonio to film her trip to Los Angeles.
Jole left for LA with just $200 in savings, while in Los Angeles, the True Life crew followed her tour as she struggled to find her place in new surroundings. While looking for a job in Hollywood, Jole had several odd jobs to support herself. She worked as a medical insurance underwriter among other jobs. She dragged herself between LA and her native San Antonio after landing a job as a canine groomer.
Jole revealed that during these times she makes the most money from reselling thrift store products with a focus on signature Louis Vuitton pieces. She sold the pieces online on eBay and once made $1,200 selling a two-piece set of Louis Vuitton luggage. It was his biggest sale.
