Nina Brosh was born on November 12, 1975 in Ramat Yishai
Israel to a Russian father & Chinese mother, who
had emigrated from Russia for religious freedom. This
unusual ethnicity accounts for her exotic beauty with
her subtle almond eyes and her pale porcelain skin.
She was raised in Israel by her mother, along with a
brother & sister.
In 1990, Nina was discovered by Itsik Mor and introduced
to Yaron Kaiser, an agent & photographer in Israel.
Yaron saw potential in her, and made an attempt to mold
Nina into a sophisticated worldly lady. Nina proved
unmanageable for Yaron though, and he eventually gave
up trying to tame Nina, dropping her.
Nina's true triumph soon followed. According to legend,
Nina was discovered a few years later while sleeping
on a park bench in Tel-Aviv. She was a homeless &
penniless runaway at the time. A photographer noticed
her, and offered her assistance in exchange for the
opportunity to take pictures of her. Weeks later, Nina's
image was plastered all over the city! Upon her discovery
(or re-discovery), Nina Brosh was rechristianed
with the name "Vic" - That is all.
Nina's popularity increased in Israel, where she is
still known by "Vic". (At some point, she
married her Manager/Agent.) Nina & her representation
began looking for broader success, first going to New
York, and then finally finding real success in Paris.
Her modeling gradually increased, and she began to appear
on runways and magazine editorials. She also started
to get advertising work, including work for Dim lingerie,
Evian, Byblos, Givenchy, among others. Most likely,
her tattoos hindered her work - specifically the one
on her arm (seen above), which is rarely exposed in
editorials, and often airbrushed out when it is. (It
had even been covered with makeup for runway shows!).
Nina's modeling work has gradually dwindled, though
she still appears from time to time. She was featured
in bebe's high profile ads for two seasons fairly recently.
Apparently she has been pursuing acting - there were
reports of her having roles in "The Fifth Element"
and "Star Wars prequel: Phantom Menace" during
the making of these films, which for whatever reasons
fell through. In "The Fifth Element", she
was up for Sibyl Buck's part, but apparently they dropped
her because she refused to dye her hair. It is unknown
what role Nina was up for in "Star Wars",
if she truly was considered for a part. Nina did end
up starring in an independent film in a movie entitled
"Hollywood Salome" (see below). She has also
appeared in commercials for Israeli products.
