Background:
1980 Elite Model. 1986 Paulina Calendar sold 250,000 copies.
Has had at least one appearance on the Arsenio Hall Show. Appeared in
August 1987 Playboy. She's said during an interview that she unwinds
by "playing Nintendo". Modeled almost exclusively for Estee
Lauder. Is married . They have a son, Jonathan Raven Ocasek, born 4
(14?) Nov 93. Recently wrote a children's book about the adventures
of a Roach in New York. Paulina frequently criticized the shallowness
of the modelling industry and has mentioned that she is in the process
of working on a book about the industry as she sees it.
Rumored to very active with email, possibly under "Ralphie"
as her psudeonym (from her book "Ralphie the Roach")
Recent appearances on both Leno and Letterman after giving birth to
her son. Since her contract with Estee Lauder has expired, she is semi-retired.
(did she really quit for good?)Yes.
Occasionally she will appear in some editorial shoots; she posed for
Steven Meisel nude 8 months pregnant and appeared on Vogue with her
new baby sometime last year.
She is the person responsible for term 'supermodel' being in existence
(and everyone on this group will argue that one).
She had a six million a year contract with Estee Lauder in early/mid
80's, and has numerous appearances in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
She did a topless shoot in the April '84 issue of GQ, which I have never
seen, and can't understand why it hasn't been scanned and posted to
the net.
She also appears in the somewhat documentary movie "Portfolio".
