Rebecca Romijn
comes off
as perhaps the most
intelligent and level
headed of the Supermodels,
and
it is quite possibly for
this very reason that she
seems to have enjoyed
the most success of any of
her peers outside of the
business. In fact,
her comments about
modeling are quite harsh,
in fact during an online
chat
she went as far as to say
"I'd have to say that, in
general, models take
themselves too
seriously.
Basically,
they
are genetic freaks who
spend a couple of hours in
hair and makeup."
She also is staunchly
opposed to the very young
models getting sent off
alone into the business
saying "In my opinion,
nobody should be allowed
to model until they are
18. I've seen too many 14
and 15-year-olds who
have dropped out of high
school, live in Paris, go
out all night with dirty,
old, rich men who give
them drugs and treat them
like 30-year-olds." She
also appears to be
grateful to have branched
out into film, commenting
"Luckily, I'm doing other
things besides just
modeling, because frankly,
I'm a little bored with
it." And if you are
looking for Rebecca nude,
you
won't see it, as she says
"Yes. I've been asked to
pose nude, but I never
have, and I probably never
will." When you see
comments like these, it's
no wonder her best friend
within the modeling
business is Tyra Banks,
another
Supermodel who has
branched out outside of
modeling and also is
intelligent
and ambitious, in a field
where too many are aloof
and leading wild,
unhealthy
lifestyles.
Rebecca Romijn
(pronounced
row-main,
like the lettuce) was
born in Berkeley,
California and had
planned a musical
career as she was
majoring in music at
University of California
Santa Cruz
when a Parisian modeling
scout discovered her and
signed her up with a
San Francisco modeling
agency. She quickly set
off to Paris to walk the
runway and jump quickly
up the modeling ladder.
Then, in 1996 all hell
broke loose for Rebecca
as she became on of People
Magazine's 50
Most Beautiful people, a
contract with Victoria's
Secret, extensive
presence in the 1996 Sports
Illustrated
Swimsuit Issue, and most
importantly to her she
met the love of her life
on the set of
Full House,
John Stamos. The two
instantly clicked and
were married on
September 19,
1998. While Rebecca's
career appears to be
soaring, her husband's
is seemingly
headed in the opposite
direction, and when
Movieline's Stephen
Rebello
said as such in their Sex
issue, she reportedly
was so upset that
she refused to attend
the party in support of
the issue. It's little
wonder
either, after Rebello
made these comments:
"How did this superdish,
who
could easily marry her
way into useful,
powerful echelons of
Hollywood,"
end up marrying the guy
who played Blackie
Parrish on General
Hospital
for two years and Uncle
Jesse on the now-defunct
TV sitcom
Full House?"
Rebecca has
made a decent
name for herself in
acting following up on
her huge success
modeling in
1996. She made her
acting debut on the set
of Friends in
1997, where
she played a filthy
disgusting girlfriend of
Ross (David Schwimmer).
She
followed up in 1998 with
getting the House of
Style baton passed
to her from the likes of
Cindy Crawford and Daisy
Fuentes, previous hosts
of the show. She also
had a brief appearance
in the Norm MacDonald
comedy
Dirty
Work (which
incidentally was
directed by Bob Saget,
Stamos' former
partner in Full
House). Her
momentum continued in
1999 with a 4
episode role as Adrienne
in the NBC comedy Just
Shoot Me, where
she played the on-screen
love interest of David
Spade. That same year
she
played as herself in the
Mike Dyer's hit Austin
Powers: The Spy Who
Shagged Me in
addition to her role as
Kimberly Hefner TV drama
Hefner:
Unauthorized. This
year though embarks her
first major role in what
most definitely will be
a big budget box office
smash, X-Men, in
which she plays Raven
Darkholme. The film also
stars stunner (and hit
and
run driver!) Halle Berry
as well as Patrick
Stewart.
Rebecca
genuinely seems to
have a strong affection
for her husband John and
has said at some point
she'd like to explore
the field of motherhood
as well as all the other
projects that keep her
busy. Apparently her
interests also include a
ear
fetish as well, as she
says "When my husband
kisses my ears. My ears
turn
me on like nothing else,
they must be my most
erogenous zone. Just
having
my ears kneaded is like
a full body massage."
Among those who seem
infatuated
with hitting her
erogenous zone besides
her hubby are Conan
O'Brien, who
went gaga during a
recent interview on his
show, as well as fellow
Supermodel
Frederique, who said
Rebecca as well as Heidi
Klum were the two models
she'd most like to get
naked with. One
interesting sidebar on
Rebecca's
Miller Lite commercials,
she admitted that
"Unfortunately, I don't
know
anything about
football." during an
online chat despite the
fact her commercial's
character claims to be
an expert... Good Lord,
that would have been too
perfect, wouldn't it?

seeing the two
of them screaming and yelling at
each other," a source on the set
tells

when the director yelled "Cut!,"
they would
