Rebecca Romijn (pronounced "romaine"), was
born on the 6th of November 1972, in Berkeley, California.
Once a college student who was born to hippie parents,
Rebecca's fashion sense did not go further than her
Birkenstock sandals. Now, the only Birks she's wearing
are on her fingers, earlobes and neckline.
In 1995, Rebecca attended UC Santa Cruz and majored
in music. A struggling student, Rebecca decided to sign
up with a San Francisco modeling agency to help pay
the bills. In a mere two months and almost instantaneously,
Rebecca made the move from college student to glamorous
runway model.
Not necessarily wanting to pursue a modeling career
(the world of high fashion intimidated her), Rebecca
took time off from her studies to work as a full-time
model. In no time, she already had contracts with major
league fashion houses such as Christian Dior and Escada.
In 1996, she became one of the beautiful women to grace
the pages of the much-loved Victoria's Secret catalogues.
She also became the fantasy girl in Miller Light's advertising
campaign, and can also be seen showing off her milk
moustache in a Got Milk? advertising campaign, a campaign
that also shows model Tyra Banks, and Friends stars
Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow donning a milk moustache.
As if Rebecca needed even more reassurance for her
stunning appearance, she was featured in People magazine's
"50 Most Beautiful People" for 1997, who claimed
that her addition to the 50 Most Beautiful was not because
of her looks, but for her sense of humor about her body
and her profession.
Rebecca was also featured in the 1996 Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Edition, and has practically become a staple
in the magazine's issue. In 1999, she graced the cover
of the magazine with a painted-on swimsuit.
As for her acting career, Rebecca has appeared in popular
sitcoms such as Friends and Just Shoot Me. She has also
become the host of MTV's House of Style, and sometimes
shares co-hosting duties with model James King. Rebecca
was no stranger to being the host of a television show;
she was a temporary host for NBC's late night show,
Later.
Rebecca had a cameo appearance in last summer's Austin
Powers sequel, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
One might ask what is with Rebecca and body paint. Not
only did a 1997 cover for GQ show Rebecca in a bikini
bottom with Dennis Rodman's hands painted on her chest,
but Rebecca's costume in this summer's blockbuster X-Men,
co-starring Halle Berry and Famke Janssen, is mostly
made of body paint. As the mutant Mystique, Rebecca
is sure to mystify audiences, without even saying a
word.
Rebecca has been married to Full House star John Stamos
since 1998.
