Actress and model Paulina Porizkova initially rose to fame as a cover girl for some of the most popular fashion magazines around before making her move to the silver screen in the early '80s. While Porizkova's early film appearances found her sticking close to what she knew by playing an actress or model (Portfolio and Covergirl), subsequent roles in such comedies as Her Alibi, The Intern, Wedding Bell Blues, and Second Best found her branching out a bit and honing her comic timing. A brief breather from the spotlight in the early '90s afforded the busy Porizkova enough time to start a family with her husband, former Cars vocalist Ric Ocasek, and in 2007 she proved that she had what it took to light up the dance floor with an appearance on Dancing With the Stars. The following year, Porizkova became a more ubiquitous media presence than ever as she became a judge on the hit CW series America's Next Top Model and saw her first book, the fiction novel A Model Summer (originally published in 2007), released in paperback.
