Laetitia
Casta Bio
Born in Pont-Audemer, France, Laetitia Casta
spent her childhood in the lush countryside
of Normandy. At age 15, she was approached by
an agent of Paris' Madison Models while building
sand castles on a beach in Corsica. After her
father agreed to let the agency take some test
photographs, Laetitia's wondrous natural beauty
impressed the founder of Madison models as well
as the director of the French magazine Elle.
Modeling contracts ensued and in 1993 Laetitia
signed on with Guess? Jeans for a very successful
advertising campaign.
In
1996, Laetitia became one of the lead models
of Victoria's Secret and from there was featured
in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition for
three consecutive years. She has appeared on
over 100 covers of fashion magazines such as
Cosmopolitan and Glamour, as well as doing commercials
for the cosmetics company L'Oreal. Laetitia
made her feature film debut in Astérix
et Obélix contre César (1999),
the most expensive French film ever made and
a smash hit in Europe. Her acting career gained
momentum when she starred in the TV movie "Bicyclette
bleue, La" (2000) (mini), set in WWII France.
Laetitia
currently owns a flat in London and enjoys painting,
writing, rollerblading, going to the cinema,
and dancing in her spare time.
