"Definitely the yummiest Canadian export since bacon and maple syrup."
-Rachel Roberts

| As an accomplished supermodel, Roberts has crossed over to Hollywood, ready to cause numerous cardiac arrests to a whole new demographic of men. |
 |
| The Biotherm poster girl, Rachel was already a household face, appearing in many fashion and women's magazines, before her acting debut in the much-anticipated film Simone, where she appears alongside Al Pacino. |

Hailing from Vancouver, British Colombia, Rachel Roberts has joined an influx of stars and musicians from the Canadian West Coast, such as Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), Diana Krall and Nelly Furtado, which have made it big worldwide. Discovered at a young age, Rachel moved up the modeling ladder quickly, often the case with a new face in her industry.
As early as 1998, when Rachel was still only 19, magazines were courting her to do covers. She began to shoot for big names, doing Elle, Vogue, Glamour and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue of 2000. Signing on to be skin-care line Biotherm's official model, she gained even more notoriety by posing for labels such as Ralph Lauren, Dana Buchman, Victoria's Secret, and Banana Republic.
As her career took off, Rachel moved to New York City, where she now lives with her husband. It was a strategic move, giving her an opportunity to appear in more shows and put her face in more magazines. A whirlwind of activity, Rachel Roberts landed her upcoming role in Simone just as her name was becoming common in the fashion world. In accordance with director Andrew Niccol's (Gattica, The Truman Show) demands, just who was playing the title character was kept a secret from the beginning of shooting in late 2000 up until May 2002.
In Simone, Roberts plays a computer-generated actress created by director Al Pacino, who is forced to find a new actress for his film after the original one walks out. The public embraces this new actress, never aware that she is literally a virtual creation. Rachel's character becomes a smash success, and Pacino is powerless to admit what he has done. |
