KATE UPTON

Isn’t it neat to learn that Kate Upton got offered a contract when she went to a casting call for Elite Model Management? She then relocated to New York and joined IMG models later on. A lot of people know her best for her appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, although she also worked with Guess and other fashion brands. The first movie that she ever worked on is called The Other Woman. She was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for this role, which is pretty impressive for a debut! She then got cast to appear in The Layover, as well as The Disaster Artist. Even though both her acting and modeling career have slowed down since then, we are sure that she is happy where she is. She and Justin Verlander are married and have a daughter together.

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!
