Biography
With a career that began at the age of 14, Angie Everhart skyrocketed from high school mascot to stunning supermodel overnight. Angie was first discovered while working at a local fashion show in Akron, Ohio, where a talent scout saw the potential that she possessed, and had her in New York within two weeks. Following her tenure in New York, Angie moved to France at the age of 17 where she remained for 10 years. While living in France she became fluent in French and learned quite a bit of Italian, all of which she has retained through today.
As a result of Angie’s international modeling success, she transitioned into a heavier regiment of print and TV campaigns. The first of which was for the Finesse brand, with who she remained for several years. Once Angie moved on from Finesse, she then became the spokeswoman for L’Oréal, in which she promoted the company’s hair related products such as: hair color, shampoo, conditioner and other styling related products. Being the L’Oréal spokeswoman in Europe and the cache that goes along with that association allowed Angie to transition into becoming the face of Pantene.
Recognized worldwide for her undeniable beauty, Angie graced the covers of Elle and Glamour and was the first redhead to be on the cover of American Glamour, all by the time she was 18. Appearing on countless magazine covers and being featured in numerous editorials made Angie a household name and gained her much notoriety among magazine editors. This notoriety paved the way for Angie to be in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue four times, in which one of those times she was the featured model in the magazine’s most popular issue. These associations caught the attention of famed fashion houses such as: Chanel, YSL Rive Gauche, Lolita Lempicka, Christian Dior, Versace, Gianfranco Ferré, Max Mara and Christian Lacroix. In addition, Angie also became the first redheaded model to ever have a cosmetic contract with French company, PHAS. She was not only featured in print campaigns for the previously mentioned brands but also participated in every major haute couture runway show and fashion event in the world. Through all her experience in the industry, Angie garnered incredible mainstream appeal, which was demonstrated by the success of her work for Levi’s and caused the corporate world to acknowledge her presence as an international icon.
Following her success in the modeling world, Angie soon made the transition from the runway to the big screen in 1993’s The Last Action Hero, where she co-starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Soon after, Everhart continued her transition co-starring in such films as Jade with David Caruso, Bordello of Blood and Another 9 ½ Weeks.
