Long conversation 2

M: Given all that you have accomplished in your life, I wanted to start out by getting a little background of you. Please give us a little insight into the making of a great model.
W: Awww… thank you. Well, I am very proud to be the child of immigrants. I am a first-generation American. My mom is Greek, and my dad, who passed away about a year and a half ago, was Bulgarian. My parents actually met in New York after the World War II and then moved to Los Angeles after getting married.
I learned from my parents, particularly my dad, a great work ethic. He was a bartender, but managed to buy a home and support our entire family without any debt. I learned from him you work hard.
M: What age were you when you thought to yourself, I want to be an actress and model, and why?
W: When my parents moved to the States, they moved to Hollywood because my mom’s sister lived out here. When I was 14, it was my very first day of high school, Hollywood High School. I was walking to one of my classes and these adults asked if they could take pictures of me. I knew that it was okay because they were there with the school’s principal. So I said “all right.” They took pictures of me, and it turned out those were all people from a famous magazine. They were looking for future models. So my career starts there.
