Now in my opinion any actress worth her salt can be a model, fashion or otherwise and that is bourne out by the number of beautiful actresses in layouts for most anything; Chanel, Gucci, Guess, you get the picture.

But a model who tries to make the move to the big picture, well thats someone who commands respect and admiration. Here's a couple who tried, some better than others.

monica was a model too lol i didn't know it

who are 2 middle girls?

Carol Alt and Famke Janssen.

I believe Cindy was only in one movie, right?

Really, the only ones I would consider succesfull of that bunch is Monica (who is so succesfull most people don't know she was originally a model) and Famke (who carved out quite the nice career after she made the leap to acting). Kristinna Loken is another one who did decently well after making the transition. However, most seem to fail.

adriana played in a movie or not? i've heard some rumours

she played in a short movie sponsored by bmw i believe...

About carol alt... is it really her in that pic ? at first i thought it was the gorgeous Carla Bruni... the chin and eyebrows don't look like carol to me
