ELLE MACPHERSON

In the hopes of saving up for law school tuition, Elle Macpherson started to model. However, she ended up changing her career path when she saw a lot of success in this industry. In the ‘80s, she was among the most in-demand supermodels around. It was common enough to spot her on the pages of Elle. Time Magazine also called her Elle “The Body” Macpherson. For five years, she graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Mind you, she does more than just model. She is on the list because she has also pursued an acting career. For one thing, she was a love interest of Joey in Friends. Aside from this, she was also in The Mirror Has Two Faces, Batman & Robin, and Sirens. She launched a lingerie, maternity clothing, and fitness wear line as well. It is clear that she is more than just eye candy!
