Linda Evangelista (born May 10, 1965) is a Canadian model. She has been featured on over 600 magazine covers and has garnered work on numerous modeling assignments with companies, most recently with L'Oréal.

Early years

Evangelista was born to Italian parents who emigrated to Canada and was raised in a working-class, traditional Roman Catholic family in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where she attended Denis Morris Catholic High School. She knew she wanted to become a model when she was 12 years old. Evangelista began modelling when she was discovered by a talent agent at the 1978 Miss Teen Niagara beauty pageant.

Career

Evangelista later moved to New York City and signed with Elite Model Management. She then moved to Paris to further her career. She also appeared in music videos with George Michael.

Evangelista once uttered the quote, "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day", (often misquoted as: "We don't get out of bed for less than..." or "I don't get out of bed for less than...") Spoken in ''Vogue'' (1990) to Jonathan van Meter, talking about money and how she and a few other models were calling the shots and changing the game.

In the late 1980s, she cut all her hair off to brandish a little-boy-style haircut and was promptly cancelled from her runway shows that season. This was the first of many dramatic hairstyle changes. Within months, she appeared on magazine covers everywhere and many women emulated the hairstyle.

In 2007, she signed a multiple-year exclusive contract with the cosmetics company L'Oreal Paris. It was announced in early 2008 that she would be featured in the Prada Fall 2008 campaign seen in magazines internationally.

She is signed to DNA Model Management in New York City, and Models 1 in London.

In June, 2010, the ''New York Post'' reported that Evangelista will be the new face of Talbots.

Personal life

At the age of 22, Evangelista married Elite executive Gerald Marie, who was many years older than her. They were married from 1987 to 1993, but only saw each other on occasion as Evangelista traveled the world as one of the top supermodels. After separating from Marie in 1993, she began a 6-year relationship with actor Kyle MacLachlan, and then divorced Marie.

Throughout her career, Evangelista expressed her desire to have children. In 1999, she became pregnant by French soccer player, Fabien Barthez. At 6 months pregnant, she delivered a stillborn baby. The couple then broke up and Evangelista left modeling for several years to recuperate.

On October 11, 2006, she gave birth to a boy, Augustin James, refusing to name his biological father, which sparked numerous rumors. While pregnant, Evangelista appeared on the August 2006 issue of Vogue (magazine). She was the first non-actress/singer model to appear on ''Vogue'' in over a year.

Around 2007, Evangelista began dating Hard Rock Café founder Peter Morton, who was 19 years her senior. In November 2009, she was seen wearing an engagement ring, sparking rumors of an impending marriage. In October 2010, it was reported that Evangelista and Morton broke up at the end of summer 2010.

In July 2011, The New York Post reported that Evangelista's child was fathered by billionaire Frenchman François-Henri Pinault, the husband of actress Salma Hayek. One month later, on August 1, Evangelista appeared in Manhattan Family Court, seeking $46,000 in monthly child support from Pinault for her son, Augustin. According to the magistrate judge in the matter "that would probably be the largest support order in the history of the Family Court."

Hayek's father is of Lebanese descent, while her mother is of Spanish descent. Her first given name, Salma, is Arabic for "safe". Raised in a wealthy, devoutly Roman Catholic family, she was sent to the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau, Louisiana at the age of twelve. While there, she was diagnosed with dyslexia.

Career

Mexico

At the age of 23, Hayek landed the title role in ''Teresa'' (1989), a successful Mexican telenovela that made her a star in Mexico. In 1994, Hayek starred in the film ''El Callejón de los Milagros'' (''Miracle Alley''), which has won more awards than any other movie in the history of Mexican cinema. For her performance, Hayek was nominated for an Ariel Award.

Early Hollywood acting work

Hayek moved to Los Angeles, California in 1991 to study acting under Stella Adler. She had limited fluency in English, which was attributed to her suffering from dyslexia. Robert Rodriguez and his producer and then wife Elizabeth Avellan soon gave Hayek a starring role opposite Antonio Banderas in 1995's ''Desperado''.

Hayek had a starring part opposite Matthew Perry in the 1997 romantic comedy ''Fools Rush In''. She followed her role in ''Desperado'' with a brief role as a vampire queen in ''From Dusk Till Dawn'', in which she performed a table-top snake dance. In 1999, she co-starred in Will Smith's big-budget ''Wild Wild West'', and played a supporting role in Kevin Smith's ''Dogma''.

She earned a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for her performance.
