Early years

Rockwood is the oldest of four children of German-Thai descent and was raised overseas in the Philippines, Spain, and Guam. At the age of 22, she moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles, to finish art school and work with Michelle Bohbot and Bijan. She would later turn down a job as a composite sketch artist for the LAPD, and instead accepted a modeling job for designer Michelle of Bisou Bisou.

Car accident

On September 3, 2001, Rockwood was involved in a car accident on California's Interstate 5 Highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. While returning late at night from visiting her maid of honor for her then-upcoming marriage to Dustin Nguyen, the driver (also one of her bridesmaids) lost control. The car swerved violently across the road before hitting the roadside rock face and flipping several times before hitting the safety rail and plunging over the bank. Fellow actress Thuy Trang suffered internal injuries and was killed in the crash. Rockwood was ejected through a car window and severely injured resulting in C4-5 Tetraplegia. Doctors gave her a 3% chance of regaining motor skills and feeling below her neck. Through physical therapy, she regained partial motion in her left index finger two months after the accident. Three months after the accident, she could touch the top of her head. In 2003, Rockwood received Stem cell treatments in Portugal that allowed her to eventually use a manual wheelchair.
