March 24, 201213 yr I think it's a natural progression for a lot of young models in Hollywood...as long as they take acting somewhat seriously and have a modicum of talent, it's fine with me. It used to be very common in the golden era of Hollywood with Marilyn Monroe and many other female stars being discovered first as models before they started acting up to the 80's and 90's when stars like Whitney Houston (may she rest in peace) was on the cover of Seventeen magazine before she became a singer/actress up until now where you have Rosie and the others you mentioned. I don't mind as long as they take acting as seriously as they did modeling.
March 29, 201213 yr Every model tries their hand in acting. The most successful model turned actresses are usually the commercial girls who didn't establish their names in the modeling world. The supermodels really don't make it big and get criticized harshly for trying, for example Cindy Crawford.Former Models who are better known as actressesCameron Diaz (Elite LA)Bridget Moynahan Andie McDowellUma ThurmanChrista Miller (Ford NY)Shannon Elizabeth (Ford & Elite)Sharon Stone (Ford NY)Courtney Cox (Ford)Kim Bassinger (Ford)Rene Russo (Ford)Candice Bergen (Ford)Feida Pinto (Elite Mumbai)Miriam D'Abo (Models 1)Anya Lahiri (Models 1)Mena Suvari (Wilhelminia)Katherine Heigl (Wilhelmina)Sela Ward (Wilhelmina)Wendi Malick (Wilhelmina)Charlize TheronWhitney CummingsChristina Hendricks (the woman who inspired Karen Elson to dye her hair red)Natasha Henstridge Leelee Sobieksi (ID Models)Annalynne Mccord (Elite Atlanta )Malin Akerman (Ford Canada)Sienna MillerKatrina BowdenSusan Saradon (Ford)Geena Davis (Zoli Agency)Well Known Models Who became successful actressesFemke Jansen Monica Belucci Mila JovavichSofia VergaraI am sure there tons more.

June 23, 201212 yr Milla Jojovich has got to be the best acteress formely a High Fashion runway model,there's a movie wher she plays Joan of Arc early in her career where she is the lead role and opposite Dustin Hoffman and the only female on screen for 90 mins,and she was brilliant, i give her major props,not to mention she has carried the Resident Evil franchise,plus she was way hotter in Blue Lagoon 2,then Brooke Shields was in the first Bluegoon CDOG83
June 24, 201212 yr Rosie, but she's too afraid to call herself an actress. Don't blame her, given that she can't act.
June 24, 201212 yr Cybill Shepherd and Charlize Theron are the two first examples that come to mind. Anna Karina also started out as a model.
