Porizkova was the first in the wave of beautiful Czech models that left the old continent for fame and fortune abroad. She was discovered by an Elite scout as a teenager and soon graced the covers of the world's most prestigious magazines like Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar.
Most would remember her face from the Estée Lauder advertisements. Not many know though, that she tried dabbling in acting, appearing in "Her Alibi" with Tom Selleck as well as in other small-time movies. Porizkova is currently married with kids and is in semi-retirement from her modeling career.
