Janice Doreen Dickinson was born on February 15, 1955. She is an American supermodel fashion photographer, actress, author and agent. She opened her own modeling agency, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, after judging for four cycles on America’s Next Top Model.

Janice Dickinson is the self-proclaimed first supermodel. In E! Network’s E! True Hollywood Story, she described how she coined the term "supermodel". Her manager, concerned that at the peak of her modeling career she was doing too much work, told her, "You are not Superman." Dickinson replied, "I am not Superman, I am a supermodel". Dickinson has been married three times. Her former husbands are Ron Levy, Alan B. Gersten, and Simon Fields, by whom she has a son, Nathan Fields.

She has a daughter, Savannah Dickinson, by former boyfriend, Michael Birnbaum. A paternity test proved that the biological father was not Sylvester Stallone, as she had thought, but Birnbaum. In her books and in interviews, she has also discussed her numerous sexual relationships with male and female celebrities. She was a special guest in one episode of Charmed where Paige disguised herself as Janice Dickinson.

Laetitia Marie Laure Casta was born on May 11, 1978 in Pont-Audemer, Normandy, France, in the middle of an animal-filled forest, Laetitia has a down-home charm that’s truly infectious. At the age of fifteen, Laetitia was discovered while vacationing with her family on a beach in Corsica, "the island of beauty", in France.

A modeling agent from the Madison Models’ Agency approached her, and handed her father a business card with an invitation to bring his daughter to Paris for some test shoots. Once her father finally agreed to the agency taking some test photographs, her unmistakable potential was recognized by the founder of Madison Models - despite the fact that the shoot occurred without the aid of makeup and a designer wardroom which many models rely on to promote themselves. Within weeks of her first shoots, she was walking the runway for Jean-Paul Gaultier. However, her career did not begin to take off until the director of the French edition of Elle saw and was impressed with Laetitia’s looks.

She lives in Paris with her parents, older brother and younger sister. Laetitia enjoys car racing with her friends, traveling, cooking with her mum and spending time with her younger sister. Laetitia also has a brown belt in Judo, she feels that it helps her in her modeling career to have control. To set limits for herself, to adopt a non-aggressive stance and to think with her mind not her emotions.

Happy and healthy, she currently lives in Paris with her mother, father, older brother and younger sister. When her hectic schedule allows, her favorite activities include painting, writing, rollerblading, going to the cinema, go-carting, practicing Judo and dancing. Laetitia is faithful to the island of Corsica and she’s treating herself to a magnificent house with 46 rooms.

Laetitia became a French national obsession when she was elected by all the French mayors to be the representation of Marianne’s effigy, the French Republic symbol. Known for her great sense of humor and a good head on her shoulders, Laetitia can look forward to a bright future.

Knightley appeared in several television movies in the mid to late 1990s, before being cast as Sabé, Padmé Amidala’s decoy, in the 1999 science fiction blockbuster Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

In the late spring of 2007, Knightley shot The Edge of Love with Cillian Murphy as her husband, Matthew Rhys as her childhood sweetheart, Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, and Sienna Miller as Thomas’ wife Caitlin MacNamara. This 2008 release was penned by her mother, Sharman Macdonald, and directed by John Maybury. Knightley is due to make a low key visit with her mother to the Welsh premiere of The Edge of Love in Swansea on June 20th. She then began work on The Duchess in which she will play Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire; the film is currently in its post-production stages. She also lends her voice to the forthcoming Robbie the Reindeer in Close Encounters of the Herd Kind.
