Models Turned Actresses

[Urban Stylin]

Who used to be a model?

Most actresses started out as models. There are those that were supermodels, others that were successful models whereas others just did modelling as a way to get something on the plate as they waited for the big time. Here we are more interested in the first 2 also some pics of them as models whether in the 50s 60s 80s 2000s, any can do.
Also they must be successful actresses, not Cindy Crawford kind of actresses!LOL

Andie McDowell started out as a model. As well as Milla Jovovich, Jessica Stroup, Alicia Silverstone and i'm sure there are loads of others i can't think of atm.

ETA: i think we should keep it general and just say "Actresses that started out as models" instead of famous models, because most of them weren't famous as models.

I already knew Andi MacDowell was a model, but i had no idea she was doing this good:

In the early 1980s, MacDowell modeled for Vogue magazine and appeared in ad campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Vassarette, Armani perfume, Sabeth-Row, Mink International, Anne Klein and Bill Blass. She worked with such esteemed photographers as Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Irving Penn and Herb Ritts among others

not sure if it's true..anyone know? as it isn't cited but yea.
