My younger years of modeling were really just filled with fun trips. I was doing catalogues for Alexander's and Bloomingdale's.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't like modeling, but in terms of the places I got to visit, it was great.
Living in Georgia, I never wanted to model. But I had the travel bug big time when I was young. I think because I had an all-American look, I was great for catalogs. They constantly sent me overseas for editorial, but I would always come back with catalog jobs. I was fine with that. It served my purpose to see the world.
Basically I was really modeling for fun, but it wasn't ever something that I wanted to do to begin with.
I started modeling, doing the Sears catalog kind of thing, then did a lot of commercials when I was growing up.
Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school.
Aside from my modelling, by the early Nineties I was also starting to work as a photographer, which I loved.
Then I started to do furniture and interiors for a friend and just to get stuff in a magazine, and then slowly started to build up and started to doing exhibitions.
I went to the Professional Children's School in New York, and I started modeling because I could do that until I actually figured out what I wanted to do, and it gave me the opportunity to travel.
I began modeling in N.Y. and doing commercials. That led to regional theatre and then Broadway and then movies.
My first airplane trip was to Paris. I had this fantasy that I would become a model, and I did!
