FREIDA PINTO

This Indian actress has earned international stardom after working on various British and American movies. When she was a college student, she received a bunch of modeling and acting offers. She turned them down back then since she wanted to first finish her English literature degree. It is clear to us that she has both beauty and brains! Once she graduated from college, she started to work as a model with Elite Model Management. She went on to pose for brands like Wrigley’s Chewing Gum, eBay, De Beers, Vodafone, and more. In 2008, she made a splash in the acting industry by starring in Slumdog Millionaire. In case you forgot, the movie won Best Picture at the Academy Awards! She also received a number of awards for this role such as the Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actress – Drama and the Palm Spring International Film Festival Award for Breakthrough Performance. This role, needless to say, gave her more opportunities in the entertainment industry.

GWYNETH PALTROW

For several decades now, Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the most popular actresses in the industry. We are sure that she has inherited both her good looks and acting chops from her mother Blythe Danner, who was also a big star in her own right back in the day. But you might not have known that prior to her acting career, Paltrow was a model first. This gorgeous woman started serving as the face of Estee Lauder in 1995. Aside from that, she was also the ambassador of Coach. Around this time, she was showing off her acting chops in a number of projects. She has since worked on movies like The Royal Tenenbaums, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ironman, and more. Acting aside, she has also launched a business of her own. You have probably heard of GOOP, her lifestyle brand, in the past. She is known as an advocate of health and wellness. She was once married to Chris Martin, with whom she has two children. They have since split up, but she has found love once more with Falchuk.
