Eva Pigford Random model

Born in Los Angeles, California in 1985, Eva Marcelle Pigford had a tough childhood that was surrounded by violence and tumultuous family relations. Despite the odds, she managed to graduate high school with flying colors, and then relocated to the East Coast to study at Clark Atlanta University. Dubbed "Eva the Diva" ever since she was a little girl due to her over-the-top, flamboyant attitude, Eva was doing some small modeling gigs (when school would permit) when she heard the casting call for the third cycle of America's Next Top Model. The 'dramality' series, which aired on UPN and featured Tyra Banks as host, pitted 14 wannabe models against each other in a series of high-stress assignments. Each week, a panel of judges eliminated one contestant, until a final 'top model' remained. Eva submitted her application for the series and was granted acceptance. Though considered the underdog throughout the show (at 5'7", she was the shortest of all the contestants), Eva lasted through each competition thanks to her physical assets and tough attitude. In America's Next Top Model's emotional and grueling final episode, Eva beat out Camara "Yaya" Da Costa Johnson for the win. In victory, Pigford claimed a contract with Ford Models, a $100,000 modeling deal with CoverGirl and a fashion spread in Elle magazine. With this head start, she is sure to have a promising future.

Oluchi is stunning, so is Selita but she looks like every other light skin or mixed model.

Aaliyah AKA Aaliyah Dana Haughton Born: 16-Jan-1979 Birthplace: Brooklyn, NY Died: 25-Aug-2001 Location of death: Marsh Harbour, Abaco Island, Bahamas Cause of death: Accident - Airplane Remains: Buried, Plot M-11, BBB, C-114, Ferncliff Cemetery, Hartsdale, NY Gender: Female Race or Ethnicity: Black Sexual orientation: Straight Occupation: Singer Nationality: United States Executive summary: R&B singer dies in plane crash Born in Brooklyn, Aaliyah Haughton was moved to Detroit at an early age, where her parents provided her with a vocal instructor before she was even old enough to attend school. Her public singing career was initiated at the ripe old age of 9, the young singer making an unsuccessful bid on the televised pissing contest Star Search; the loss didn't break her stride in the least, and by 11 she was performing in Las Vegas as a part of Gladys Knight's act. The combination of good lungs, training and inside connections moved things along quickly, and after an uncle (fortuitously placed as CEO of the Blackground management company) introduced her to one of the artists in his stable - R&B singer R. Kelly -- the 15-year-old's recording career was underway. Kelly went on to write and produce most of the debut album Age Ain't Nothing But A Number, which, released in 1994 on Blackground Records (a new label created by her uncle specifically to provide a outlet for her debut) launched Aaliyah into the charts with 2 top ten singles. Following the success of the record, Aaliyah embarked upon an extensive world tour before returning to complete her education. During this time a controversy surrounding her relationship to Kelly (some sources claiming they had married despite her status as a minor) was stirred up by the press; both denied a romantic link of any kind, but the gossip brought their working relationship to an end regardless. For the next album, Aaliyah enlisted the services of then-mostly-unknown producers Timbaland and Missy Elliott: a combination that would send the careers of all three into the stratosphere with its resultant One in a Million (1996). With this second album, she would score her first #1 single (If Your Girl Only Knew) and establish herself as a multi-platinum artist. Over the next two years, Aaliyah kept herself in the public consciousness with contributions to the soundtracks for the animated film Anastasia (earning her an Oscar nomination) and the Eddie Murphy vehicle Doctor Dolittle (earning her a Grammy nomination). The inevitable move from the soundtrack to the film itself was made in 2000, when producer Joel Silver enlisted her as one of the lead actors in the action film Romeo Must Die; the popularity of the film would later bring about a role in Queen of the Damned (released in 2002) and prospective roles in the sequels to The Matrix (which she was never able to pursue). Eventually the singer returned to the studio, her 2001 eponymous release again making use of the skills of Elliott and Timbaland. The combination proved as potent as ever, and her third record effectively repeated the success of One in a Million. Shortly after completing her scenes for Queen of the Damned later that year, however, Aaliyah's career was brought to a premature end when a chartered plane bound for Miami from a video shoot in the Bahamas crashed near the airport, killing everyone on board.

Kerry Washington Aisha Tyler Yasmin Warsime Meagan Good Kiara Kubukuru Joy Bryant Garcelle Beauvais Nilon

Merged topics - edited by persuazn Joy Bryant Birth Date: January 1, 1976 Birth Place: The Bronx, New York The slender, classically beautiful Joy Bryant made a stunning feature debut in Denzel Washington's first directorial effort "Antwone Fisher," and while her stunning looks certainly got her noticed, the model-turned-actress has also built her career on both brains and talent. As an enrollee in the A Better Chance program, an organization that reaches out to minority talent to enrich their academic opportunities, Bryant earned an academic scholarship to Yale University. While enrolled as a full-time student at Yale, the actress was discovered by a modeling scout from Next Models Management and subsequently pursued a career as a fashion model in Paris, later entering into an exclusive contract with Tommy Hilfiger and appearing as a cover subject for the Victoria's Secret lingerie catalogue, as well as in a number of prestigious print campaigns. Bryant made her onscreen debut in the MTV original telefim "Carmen: A Hip Hopera," opposite Beyonce Knowles and Mekhi Phifer, followed by a small role in the Warner Bros. feature comedy "Showtime" opposite Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro. She caught widespread attention in 2002 after Washington tapped her for the role of Cheryl, the understanding girlfriend of the troubled Antwone Fisher (Derek Luke). Bryant's next role was in Bille Woodruff's music-driven, coming-of-age drama "Honey," playing the best friend of an inner-city woman (Jessica Alba) who fulfills her dream of becoming a video choreographer and is confronted with unsuspecting setbacks.
