Biography |
Rebecca Romijn (pronounced "romaine"), was born on the 6th
of November 1972, in Berkeley, California.
Once a college student who was born to hippie parents,
Rebecca's fashion sense did not go further than her
Birkenstock sandals. Now, the only Birks she's wearing are
on her fingers, earlobes and neckline.
In 1995, Rebecca attended UC Santa Cruz and majored in
music. A struggling student, Rebecca decided to sign up with
a San Francisco modeling agency to help pay the bills. In a
mere two months and almost instantaneously, Rebecca made the
move from college student to glamorous runway model.
Not necessarily wanting to pursue a modeling career (the
world of high fashion intimidated her), Rebecca took time
off from her studies to work as a full-time model. In no
time, she already had contracts with major league fashion
houses such as Christian Dior and Escada.
In 1996, she became one of the beautiful women to grace the
pages of the much-loved Victoria's Secret catalogs. She also
became the fantasy girl in Miller Light's advertising
campaign, and can also be seen showing off her milk
moustache in a Got Milk? advertising campaign, a campaign
that also shows model Tyra Banks, and Friends stars Jennifer
Aniston and Lisa Kudrow donning a milk moustache.
As if Rebecca needed even more reassurance for her stunning
appearance, she was featured in People magazine's "50 Most
Beautiful People" for 1997, who claimed that her addition to
the 50 Most Beautiful was not because of her looks, but for
her sense of humor about her body and her profession.
Rebecca was also featured in the 1996 Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Edition, and has practically become a staple in the
magazine's issue. In 1999, she graced the cover of the
magazine with a painted-on swimsuit.
As for her acting career, Rebecca has appeared in popular
sitcoms such as Friends and Just Shoot Me. She has also
become the host of MTV's House of Style, and sometimes
shares co-hosting duties with model James King. Rebecca was
no stranger to being the host of a television show; she was
a temporary host for NBC's late-night show, Later.
Rebecca had a cameo appearance in 1999's Austin Powers
sequel, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
One might ask what Rebecca loves about body paint so much.
Not only did a 1997 cover for GQ show Rebecca in a bikini
bottom with Dennis Rodman's hands painted on her chest, but
Rebecca's costume in X-Men, co-starring Halle Berry and
Famke Janssen, is mostly made of body paint. As the mutant
Mystique, Rebecca mystified audiences without saying a word.
Although they seemed like one of Hollywood's happiest
couples, Rebecca Romijn and former Full House star John
Stamos have filed for divorce. Married since September 1998,
the split is said to be amicable. |
