1980 Elite Model. 1986 Paulina Calendar sold 250,000 copies.
Has had at least one appearance on the Arsenio Hall Show. Appeared
in August 1987 Playboy. She's said during an interview that she
unwinds by "playing Nintendo". Modeled almost exclusively for
Estee Lauder. Is married to Ric Ocasek. They have a son, Jonathan
Raven Ocasek, born 4 (14?) Nov 93. Recently wrote a children's book
about the adventures of a Roach in New York. Paulina frequently
criticized the shallowness of the modelling industry and has
mentioned that she is in the process of working on a book about the
industry as she sees it.
Rumored to very active with email, possibly under "Ralphie" as her
psudeonym (from her book "Ralphie the Roach")
Recent appearances on both Leno and Letterman after giving birth to
her son. Since her contract with Estee Lauder has expired, she is
semi-retired. (did she really quit for good?)
Yes. Occasionally she will appear in some editorial shoots; she posed for
Steven Meisel nude 8 months pregnant and appeared on Vogue with her new
baby sometime last year. Acted in a movie "Anna", playing Christina.
The second movie being "*Her* Alibi" with Tom Selleck. She is the
person responsible for term 'supermodel' being in existence (and
everyone on this group will argue that one). She had a six
million a year contract with Estee Lauder in early/mid 80's, and has
numerous appearances in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She did a
topless shoot in the April '84 issue of GQ, which I have never seen,
and can't understand why it hasn't been scanned and posted to the net.
She also appears in the somewhat documentary movie "Portfolio".
