Model

The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    She dropped out of college to model.
    She thought 'black magic' may have helped her land the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover.
    She turned down a movie role, which eventually went to Sonia Braga, because of nudity.

Why she might not be annoying:

    In 1976, Brazilian Vogue declared her 'Model of the Year.'
    She remained the face (and body) of Brazilian tourism for over a decade.
    As a citizen of Rio, she's said to exemplify a Carioca's 'sensualidade'--black hair, dark eyes, and voluptuous figure.
