Elle MacPherson
By JENELLE CLEARY
After
her stunning appearance at the Closing Ceremony of the Sydney
2000 Olympics we just had to include a profile of 'The Body',
Elle Macpherson.
Born in Sydney (real name Eleanor Gow) on March 29, 1964,
Elle has become the second-highest money-earner for her modelling
efforts.
She has successfully maintained a high profile since she
was discovered in the early 80s, at the age of 18 while holidaying
in Aspen, Colorado.
At 180cms tall, Elle is hardly going to be missed in a crowd!
She studied pre-law in Sydney, though modelling soon became
her chosen profession.
In the 1980s, she had appeared in every issue of Elle
magazine for six years. In 1985, she married Gilles Bensimon,
a magazine editor, though they divorced in 1989.
She has since branched into acting with her most high profile
role occurring in 1999 with a six-episode guest stint in the
sitcom, Friends.
She has her own fitness video, The Body Workout, her
own series of calendars and a successful lingerie line. She
also is part owner of the Fashion Cafe in New York City, with
Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell.
Elle has been dating Swiss financier, Arpad "Arkie" Busson
since 1996 and in 1998 she gave birth to a son, Arpad Flynn
Busson. She has become one of the world's most successful
and respected supermodels and can most definitely be called
the face of Australian beauty.
