Eva Herzigova

"I love photo sessions. I'm alone, I'm the queen, everyone's taking care of me."
-Eva Herzigova

Date of Birth: March 10, 1973

Birthplace: Litvinov of the Czech Republic

Sometimes in life, a man needs to explain himself, other times, he just needs to stay quiet and enjoy. This is one of those latter moments.

Let's just say that being a Guess? Girl and doing a campaign for Wonder Bra was a smart idea for her career, a very smart one.

Eva Herzigova was born on March 10, 1973, in Litvinov of the Czech Republic. Her mother was a secretary and her father worked as an electrician in a mining company. Both parents stressed the importance of hard work, dedication and perseverance. Even after Eva landed her modeling contract, they encouraged her to have something to fall back on, just in case modeling did not work out for her.

Growing up in a Northern Czechoslovakian village, modeling was the furthest thing from Eva's mind. She was active in many sports, such as gymnastics, basketball, track, and cross-country skiing.

Ironically, Eva always felt that her sister was the one destined to become a model. On a visit to Prague with her parents, the 16-year-old Eva met a friend who told her about a modeling contest organized by Metropolitan Models, a French modeling agency. Since her sister was not interested, Eva entered the contest herself.

She went on to win the contest, marking the start of her illustrious career. Within six months, she was whisked off to Paris and from from that point on, modeling became her focus in life.
