| BIOGRAPHY
When supermodel Amber Smith decided to leave the catwalks and
exotic tropical beaches and head for Hollywood, she was not prepared
to be told that she was too tall or too beautiful for many of
the roles she desired. It wasn't until Paul Mazursky cast her
as a philandering husband's love object in Faithful that the leggy
and voluptuous actress got her first break.
A native of Tampa, FL, Smith started modelling at age 16. With
little more than her determination and a strong resemblence to
Rita Hayworth, she went to Paris to learn about modelling and
to find work. It took four years and a dye-job (changing her blonde
hair to red) to change her luck. In addition to working for Vogue
and other fashion magazines, Amber became a popular swimsuit model
for Sports Ilustrated, appearing in two consecutive issues of
their celebrated Swimwear Edition.
Smith was then chosen to be the Vargas Girl of the 1990s by Esquire
Magazine. In 1995, Smith posed for a Playboy magazine spread.
The acting bug bit after she appeared in two European made-for-television
specials: Inferno and one made just for her called Forever Amber.
After her appearance in Faithful, she continued to appear in major
feature films. In television, Smith made guest appearances on
such series as Friends and Just Shoot Me. |
