Paulina Porizkova
In a groundbreaking move in 1988, Paulina Porizkova secured what was then the most substantial modeling contract in history. Estee Lauder invested a staggering six million dollars to make her the fresh face of their brand. Yet, as time passed, Porizkova candidly confessed her aversion to the world of modeling, leading her to take a bold leap into a seemingly easier realm: acting.
Her silver screen endeavors encompass an impressive array of films, including Portfolio, Covergirl, Anna, and Her Alibi. The year 2007 witnessed her dazzling appearance as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, while 2010 marked her role as a guest judge on America’s Next Top Model. Writing has been a perpetual passion in Porizkova’s life, as she authored a children’s book in 1992 and penned a novel centered around a young girl’s journey into modeling in 2007.
