6 Models Who've Appeared in Films

Although countless models have appeared in films, and many have successfully transitioned from being a model to having a career as an actress, here is a look at just 6 such models, all of which have appeared in films (some who have appeared in more than one). Some of these models have taken on major roles, such as Lily Cole who starred in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' and Gemma Ward who appeared in 'The Black Balloon'. Others have played the part of a model in a film, such as Liya Kebede in 'Desert Flower', a film about the life of Somali model Waris Dirie. Laetitia Casta embodied the spirit, sex-appeal and playfulness of French icon Brigitte Bardot in the recent film 'Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque)', while Aline Weber has a similarly smoldering vibe in the Tom Ford directed 'A Single Man'. Some of these models, such as Liya Kebede, have gone for a total career change, while others, such as Liya Kebede, continue to mix both passions.
