Amber Smith

Amber's modeling résumé is extensive. She appeared in back-to-back issues of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, was chosen as Esquire's first Vargas Girl of the 1990s, and launched a Wonderbra campaign as the first Wonderbra model. Her cover work includes Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Marie Claire, and she fronted advertising for L'Oréal, Buffalo Jeans, Camel, Kahlua, Volkswagen, and Panama Jack. She walked runways for designers like Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier, and was photographed by some of the world's top photographers, including Ellen von Unwerth, Walter Chin, Arthur Elgort, and Marco Glaviano. In March 1995, she graced the cover of Playboy. After a three-year hiatus to begin her acting career, she returned to modeling for the Wolford campaign shot by Helmut Newton, and she became the model for the 2002 lingerie campaign for Venus Victoria, the European sister company to Victoria's Secret.

Amber also built a second career in acting, moving to Los Angeles before the age of twenty-three. She earned roles in Paul Mazursky's Faithful, Abel Ferrara's The Funeral, Barbra Streisand's The Mirror Has Two Faces, and Curtis Hansen's L.A. Confidential, where she played Susan Lefferts, a Rita Hayworth lookalike. Her resemblance to Hayworth also landed her a part in HBO's The Rat Pack. Now 55 years old, she remains active in the entertainment industry, with her work continuing to span both acting and modeling. Her Instagram following has reached around five thousand, and she still maintains a slim, statuesque figure. With 37 years of activity under her belt, she has left a clear mark on the worlds of fashion and film.
