KATHERINE HEIGL
Can you believe that Katherine Heigl kicked off her modeling career with a Cheerios ad? At the age of nine, her aunt sent photos of her to Wilhelmina Models and effectively launched her career as a model. She went on to appear in commercials, catalogs, and ads. In high school, she would sometimes skip as many as three months to work. On holidays and weekends, she would juggle her modeling and acting work. In the early ‘90s, she became known for working on King of the Hill and Wish Upon a Star. The noughties had been busy for her after she snagged the part of Dr. Isobel Stevens in Grey’s Anatomy. Thanks to the medical drama, she shot even further into stardom.

KIRSTEN DUNST
After playing Mary Jane in Spider-Man, Kirsten Dunst had every right to be picky with the projects that she took on. The superhero flick grossed $114 million during the first three days at the box office and set a record for the best opening weekend at the time. This was not her first time in the spotlight as she launched a modeling career when she was three years old. By the time she was 12 years old, she had appeared in more than a hundred ads already. As a child actress, she was in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, Little Women, Jumanji, and Small Soldiers. She also received acclaim for her work in The Virgin Suicides by the end of the millennia. Bring It On made her even more popular than she already was.
