Models Turned Actresses

[Urban Stylin]

I've always seen abit of Karolina Kurkova in Rachael Nichols
Krysten Ritter who was in confessions of a shopahollic and 27 dresses was also a very successful model in the 90s. Her look just screams 90s top model to me/.

Cameron Diaz was a model.
Jennie Garth also did some modeling jobs.
Angelina Jolie too.
Whitney Houston did before singing and acting.

Victoria Rowell from the Young and the restless also started out as a famous model in the 80s, cant find any pics though.

Madonna also did modeling job (for haircut magazines I guess) and also naked pose for artists.

Saffron Burrows did some modeling when she was younger. She supposedly runway modeled for Chanel in the early 90s, but I don't recall ever having seen her in any Chanel show. She has great bone structure btw.

Marisa Berenson and Lauren Hutton were successful models who appeared in films.

^Ditto on Saffron having great bone structure. She looked fantastic in Troy and the Bank Job btw I read she modeled for YSL, Chanel, and Westwood but no pics

SIENNA MILLER

from sienna online

 

[Boomer]

^ Thanks!! I always thought Sienna could have been a very big model- the camera just loves her!! But her height was always against her- she's not tall enough for runway fashion shows and so on...Plus, I understand she was (is?) a serious actress type, when she started out at least...

Leighton Meester was a former Ralph Lauren model.

I never knew that!! I'd love to see some pictures....!

 

[Karen0193]

^me too!
I loved to see Sienna as a model,she is so pretty.

 

[Boomer]

^ Wila Holland started out as a child model, and I saw on Models.com that she did Ralph Lauren ads, but I have never been able to find any...
