Czech supermodel Eva Herzigova is now hoping to take her celluloid dreams to another level, however, by directing a movie based on her own life.
"I would like to direct a movie, but not a glossy feature film," she revealed in a magazine interview. "I am thinking it would be more like a full-length documentary type of movie about my life. It would definitely be autobiographical. It would be about a girl from the Eastern bloc who makes it in the fashion world. You know, a Cinderella story."
Eva's life has all the elements of a classic rags-to-riches story. Born the daughter of an electrician, she grew up in the Czech mountain village of Litvinov before travelling to Prague to compete in a modelling contest that would change her life forever. The statuesque beauty, who first gained fame after appearing in the infamous "Hello Boys" advertisements for Wonderbra, has also appeared in several independent movies. Her big screen credits include a number of well-received dramas, such as Just For The Time Being and Modigliani. |
