Gisele Bundchen Biography

Name : Gisele Bundchen

Birth Date : July 20, 1980 

Birth Place : Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil 

Birth Name : Gisele Carolina Nonnenmacher Bundchen 

Hair Color : Dark Brown 

Eye Color : Blue 

Height : 5'11 

Nationality : Brazilian 

Profession : Model 

Agencies : New York - IMG 

Spouse(s) : Tom Brady (2009-present)

Gisele Caroline Bundchen was born July 20th, 1980, in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Gisele is not the only beauty in her family; in fact, her five other sisters Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Patricia, and Rafaela are also aspiring models. A natural phenomenon, Gisele stands tall at 5'11", with dark blue eyes, a freckled face and wavy brown hair. The road to becoming today's most sought-after model came by chance for Gisele, after she was spotted by an Elite Modeling Agency agent while eating a Big Mac at a Sao Paulo McDonald's with her friends at the age of 14. Despite her father's disagreement with her career choice, Gisele moved to the city. In 1995, she entered the "Elite Look Modeling Competition", and her career has taken off ever since. Gisele has since been in campaigns for major fashion houses such as Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Valentino, Celine, Gianfranco Ferre, and Chloe. As for magazine covers, she has graced the covers of Vogue USA, Vogue Italia, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Arena,, Allure, and she is currently on the cover of the September edition of Rolling Stone. Gisele left the Elite Modeling Agency and switched to IMG Model Management not long ago, which was considered to have been a controversial act. Her Brazilian agent is presently Monica Monteiro. Surprisingly, Gisele is a big fan of sweet popcorn, candy and McDonald's sundaes, a vice that does not show on her more than statuesque figure. It is for this figure that Vogue credited Gisele's work in the fashion industry as "The Return of the Sexy Model," as her physique marks the end of the waif-look that Kate Moss made so famous. Nonetheless, Gisele's chest size has been questioned, but she denies to have had implants. Real or not, Gisele adamantly refuses to ever fully reveal her breasts, whether for a fashion show or for a pictorial. One thing is for sure: the only thing fake about her body is her belly-button piercing and the tattoo she has on the inside of her left wrist. She has been romantically linked to male model Scott Barnhill, billionaire Joao-Paulo Diniz and actor Josh Hartnett. Gisele is currently dating Leonardo DiCaprio. Although she does think that it would be interesting, she refused a role in the upcoming Charlie's Angels. She currently earning $7,000 an hour and $5 million a year, Gisele has redefined the term supermodel and for now, enjoying her reign as the most beautiful girl in the world.

She married Tom Brady in the year 2009.

On February 4, 1954, Christie Lee Hudson was born in the land of the rich and famous, Malibu, California. Her father was a television writer, who worked on shows such as The Virginian and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. She obviously had an artistic nature imprinted in her genes. After having attended a French-American high school, Le Lyc�e Fran�ais de Los Angeles, Christie moved to Paris. At the tender age of 18, she enrolled in art school. After graduation, she worked as an illustrator for three years. And that's where the fairy tale begins. Like a plot her father could have written, an American photographer spotted her on the streets of Paris. Although he convinced her that she had what it takes to be a model, she was hesitant to leave her creative job. Still, she gave in and became part of the famous Ford modeling agency. On catwalks everywhere, she was an instant hit. 

In 1976, she signed a contract with the cosmetics line Cover Girl that began their 20-year partnership, a feat as yet unsurpassed in the modeling industry. In 1979, she appeared on the cover of the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated. The editors liked her so much that they asked for a repeat performance the two following years as well another industry first. Christie has appeared on over 500 magazine covers around the world. A bona fide superstar, magazines like Vogue, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan and Time, all wrote articles about her. Her presence on the cover of Life magazine made it their best-selling issue of all-time. In addition, she lent her face to such products as Prell shampoo and Chanel perfume. 

In 1981, she and her husband of eight years, Jean-Francois Allaux, divorced. But Christie hadn't given up on love. In 1985, she married famous piano man Billy Joel and soon they had a daughter, Alexa Rae. Christie appeared in a number of the singer's music videos and was the inspiration for his major hit "Uptown Girl." She even had her artwork featured on the cover of his River of Dreams album. Unlike other supermodels, she had no aspirations of becoming a movie star. However, she did appear as Chevy Chase's fantasy girl in the blockbuster National Lampoon's Vacation in 1983; she reprised her role in the 1997 sequel, Vegas Vacation. In 1992, she joined CNN, where she hosted Living in the '90s with Christie Brinkley, a short-lived show where she introduced filmed segments, and two years later, she appeared as herself in a top-rated episode of Mad About You. 

As the '80s faded away, and her All-American looks ceased to be in great demand, Christie turned her attention elsewhere. In 1997, she hosted the most profitable infomercial in America for Total Gym. The following year, she launched her own perfume, Believe. She also wrote a best-selling fitness book, and is also a gifted photographer. In addition to having had her work published in periodicals like Autosprint and American Photographer, she participated in a number of major boxing events for Don King, as ring photographer. What's more, she has designed a line of women's eyewear and holds patents for toys for toddlers. Since having divorced Billy Joel in 1994, she has been married twice and has conceived two more children. She is currently married to architect Peter Cook, and when she's not busy working, she spends her time supporting causes like nuclear disarmament and the Make-A-Wish Foundation

Birth Name : Katherine Marie Ireland 

Height : 5' 11 

Measurements : 36-24-34 

Nationality : American 

Claim to fame : as Brittany Maddocks in Melrose Place (1992)

She is the first supermodel. To some, she is the most enduring supermodel. To many, she is the most stunning supermodel. And to Sports Illustrated, Kathy Ireland is the most photographed supermodel on their annual swimsuit issue. Ireland was an L.A. beach bum who spent her summers hanging out at the shore. Then one summer, an agent from Elite approached her. Within weeks, she was signed with the agency in New York. The day after her high school graduation, she was headed for Rome. 

In 1987, Ireland appeared on the cover of Vogue Italia. That same year, she landed the lead in Alien from L.A., a low-budget film about a G-stringed woman who stumbles on the undiscovered continent of Atlantis. The film bombed, but she was called the body of the year. Ireland says nabbing the cover of Sports Illustrated's 25th-anniversary swimsuit issue in 1989 launched her into the forefront of the fashion industry. The U.S. market became virtually saturated with Ireland in the early '90s, when she appeared everywhere sporting everything from couture spreads in Vogue and Mademoiselle to workout duds in Fitness. 

Melrose Place fans will remember the leggy actress in her 1992 four-episode stint as Brittany Maddocks, the evil but gorgeous scam artist who was killed after trying to seduce Jake. The following year proved to be one of the her most active both personally and professionally. She posed for her first Kathy Ireland calendar and released her first fitness video, Kathy Ireland's Total Fitness Workout. And after doing her third SI swimsuit issue and getting her mug on Cheerios cereal boxes, Ireland achieved her most memorable feat she gave birth to Erik. Although she continues to sell calendars and memorabilia off-the-walls, Ireland spends the majority of her time with her son. In 1996, she helped Lays launch their low-fat potato crisps and made what many consider to be her comeback, in Howard Stern's Private Parts. As the years pass, she hopes to focus more on acting and always on Erik.
