Carol Alt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carol Alt (born December 1, 1960) is an American supermodel and actress.


Biography

Early life
Alt, the third of four children, was born in East Williston, Long Island, New York to Muriel, who had worked as a print and runway model before her marriage, and Anthony Alt, who was in the army reserves. She has two sisters, Christine and Karen, and a brother, Anthony, and was raised in College Point, New York and attended Hofstra University.


Career
Alt's first big break in modeling in 1980, when she was featured on the cover of Harper's Bazaar magazine, but she gained real fame in 1982 when she was featured on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She has also been a consultant with the "Le Mirador" skin-care line. Alt was one of the first models to parlay fame in that area into success in other areas, such as acting, launching product lines, and book writing, paving the way for the more recent models to do so, such as Kathy Ireland.

Since 1986 she has been one of the leads in a variety of movies; mostly Italian, but one of her most recent starring roles was in the Canadian movie Snakehead Terror. She played "Karen Oldham" in the TV adaptation of Peter Benchley's Amazon(1999). Her TV guest roles include a voice role in the "Peggy's Pageant Fever" episode of King of the Hill, first broadcast November 10, 1998.

Alt also has written a book, Eating In The Raw: A Beginner's Guide To Getting Slimmer, Feeling Healthier, And Looking Younger the Raw-food Way, promoting eating only raw foods. She placed #5 on askmen.com's list of "Top 10 Supermodels Of All Time", behind only Kathy Ireland, Christie Brinkley, Gisele Bundchen, and Cindy Crawford.


Personal life
In 1983, she married Ron Greschner, a professional ice hockey player with the New York Rangers. They divorced in 1996, and she is currently in a relationship with Russian ice hockey star Alexei Yashin, a player recently with the New York Islanders and a man thirteen years her junior. Contrary to popular belief, they are not married; in an interview with ESPN in 2006, Yashin denied that he is married to Alt and instead said they are in a committed relationship. Alt's supermodel status is questioned by Howard Stern Radio Show personality Fred Norris. Norris contends, quite vigorously, that Alt is not a supermodel. This has led to many humorous moments for the show, usually coinciding with Carol Alt's appearances.

Alt was referred to as "The Face" by Life Magazine, a reference to her striking appearance.

Enjoy!

I hate to disagree with this but I must. Cheryl Tiegs was actually the first model to parlay her modeling career into a book and becoming a television personality. Cheryl is also really the first Supermodel, even if a number of models claim that title. Cheryl's fame took off in 1978, years before Carol Alt or any of the others.

CAROL ALT

Model/Actress

Constantly in search of new frontiers, Carol Alt is the ultimate chameleon. Since her days as the world's most renowned Supermodel, Carol Alt has gone on to be author, actress and entrepreneur. Having had enormous success in all her endeavors such as: USA Today's Best-Selling Author for her books on Raw food, Multi- award winning Actress, The Face of her own line of cosmetics, a number one hit in Europe in the music industry, voiceovers for such hits as King of the Hill, and as the host of various TV and radio morning shows and newscasts-including Fox's Good Day Live.

Called "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" by Playboy Magazine and "The Next Million Dollar Face" by Life Magazine, Carol has not disappointed. Gracing the covers of over 700 magazines, several posters, two workout videos and numerous calendars, she is a one-woman conglomerate! Having lost track of the number of advertising campaigns, commercials, interviews, hosting jobs and endorsement contracts that have created this enormously successful and lasting career...

Forever touted as "The model that started the Supermodel trend" by John Casablanca the owner of Elite Models, Carol tosses off that title as the result of necessity being the mother of invention. The necessity of a fourth Elite division of models who worked everyday -- who were career professionals, made Carol the first ever "Super Elite Model in the Super Elite Division." The press thereby dubbing her the first "Supermodel."

Having hit the highest echelons of the fashion industry did nothing but fuel Carol's thirst for new projects and new venues so, using her fame, she self-produced her highly successful series of posters and calendars when Elite rejected the idea. These posters and calendars became the benchmark for any and every rising young supermodel. Carol thereby created a new business for all supermodels to come, and in the process become the object of fantasy for every young boy in America who had her poster plastered on his bedroom wall.

No other model can boast an uninterrupted 27-year career. Having twice graced the cover of the coveted Sports Illustrated Magazine's Swimsuit Edition, Carol has gone on to star in over 50 movies, series, miniseries and episodic television in America and Abroad.

Her highly acclaimed series "Amazon" written by Peter Benchley, debuted as Variety's "Number One New Dramatic Syndicated Series", much to the delight of CBS and Alliance Atlantis, and paved the way for today's hit "Lost".

Carol has also had great success for her role in "Howard Sterns Private Parts".

She is the recipient of Three European Telegattos (Emmy awards) one European "Oscar" Moda, The Mont Blanc Award, The Best Award, The Golden Ticket Box-Office Award ( for the most box office sales for a film in one year), The Certificate del Arte from The European Film Commission and The Umbra Award.

Prince Albert still holds a slight grudge that Carol did not come to the Monaco Film Festival to pick up her award for the portrayal of the life story of Rosanna Benzi-a woman with genetic polio living in an iron lung-in the film "Vice for Life."

I will repeat myself - Cheryl Tiegs was the World's first Supermodel. She soared to be a super-star in 1978, before the others had even started.

By saying this about Cheryl, I do not mean to demean Carol Alt in anyway. She is one of the all-time great Supermodels, without a doubt. It is just that so many models are making the claim of being "The First Supermodel" when Cheryl Tiegs was actually the real First Supermodel. If you look at the history of Modeling, no Model had ever broken out to become a household name and become world famous like Cheryl did.
