Biography |
Nina Brosh (born November 12, 1975) is an Israeli model and
actress.
Brosh was born in Afula, Israel to a Russian Jewish father
and Chinese mother. She was discovered while sleeping on a
park bench in Tel Aviv. At the time, she was a homeless and
penniless runaway. A photographer noticed her and offered
her assistance in exchange for the opportunity to take
pictures of her. Weeks later, her image was plastered all
over the city.
Nina Brosh and her representation began looking for broader
success, first going to New York, and then finally finding
real success in Paris. She began to appear on runways,
magazine editorials, and advertisements, working with brands
such as Evian, Byblos, and Givenchy. In 1993, she was filmed
by the director Ellen von Unwerth for the Duran Duran video
for the song "Femme Fatale" from the The Wedding Album.
Some people think her tattoos have hindered her career. They
are often either airbrushed out of photos or covered with
makeup for runway shows. Brosh has recently declared
semi-retirement from modelling. She has moved back to Israel
and settled into a villa in the wealthy city of Kfar
Shmaryahu. There, with her boyfriend Assi Salev, she has
begun a family. She has also been putting energy into
re-educating herself, focusing on a possible medical career.
In 1995, Nina was voted the 79th "Most Powerful Person in
Fashion" by The Face magazine. In 1998 she appeared opposite
Vincent Gallo in the independent movie Hollywood Salome,
though rumours of links to high profile projects such as The
Fifth Element and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
have all fallen through. |
