 It all started in July 20, 1980. Mr. Valdir and Mrs. Vania Bündchen were having their third and fourth kids. The two girls that had just been born already had two sisters (Raquel and Graziela), and were about to have 2 more (Gabriela and Rafaela), in the next years. The names of the two babies were Patrícia and Gisele Bündchen. Gisele Caroline Bündchen was born in Horizontia, Rio Grande do Sul, a very small town (17000 inhabitants), in the extreme south of Brazil. Gisele and Patrícia were twins (not identical, and Gisele was born first). Actually, Gisele was born in a town called "Três de Maio" (Horizontina didn't have the infra-structure to make a surgery in a woman who was having twins).

Nobody knew, but that small baby called Gisele was going to change fashion world forever, not far from then.

In pre school "Escola Evangélica Frederico Jorge Logemann" Gisele already was a small girl, very thin. In mid school, Gisele used to be called "Olívia Palito" (Olive Oyl - Popeye's skinny friend), "Somaliana" (person from Somalia) and Saracura (kind of snake - "trumpet-creeper"). Her school friends used to make fun of her, because she was tall and thin: "there was a time where that used to bore me a lot, make me really sad". "Gisele was a little weird" admits Roberta Wojahn, neighbor and friend. She liked to play Volleyball, and had even thought of becoming a professional, but as we saw, that didn't work out: "All she wanted to be was a volleyball player", says her mother, and Gisele confirms: "I dreamed of being Ana Mozer, Fernanda Venturini" (Brasilian volleyball players), and play for Sogipa. She was a really agitating kid: "I was like a monkey. Until I was around 7 years old, I used to run on the streets in my underwear".
In 1993, Gisele, 13 years old and almost 1,70m height (5'7"), joined Dilson Stein mannequin course to correct her posture, with Patrícia and Gabriela, because her mother insisted. The course was for teenagers who wanted to be a model. In May 1994, Stein took 50 girls in a bus to São Paulo, for two reasons: to give them a chance to walk in a big city and to let them be evaluated by brasilian Elite bookers (agents). Zeca Abreu and Liliana Gomes, from Elite were there to check out the group, warned by Stein, so it wasn't a casual discover. Zeca and Liliana asked Gisele "Do you want to be a model?" and she answered "No way". "I didn't see that as a real thing. The guy was pissing me off. I just wanted to go to Playcenter".
On the next August 20, Gisele was playing Volley for Sogipa, in Porto Alegre. People from Elite "kidnapped" her and took her to the contest Look of the Year, the Rio Grande do Sul phase. She was already enrolled in the contest, and she tried to escape. With no bath she was taken to the contest, in a borrowed dress. "I got there and it was a chock. The girls were wearing make up and long dresses and I was there, dirty, wearing a kneepad. I didn't want that, I didn't want to catwalk". Gisele came between the five finalists. Then, she went to São Paulo. Her clothes were, now, a little bit more appropriated; most of them borrowed from her friends Melissa and Karina Costa. She came in second in the national Elite Look of the Year contest - Claudia Menezes, from Bahia, was the one in the first place. In the world contest, in Ibiza, Gisele came in fourth, but no one (including her), admits that as official, because she never got a trophy. In another version, she would have come in sixth. Then, Gisele started to change. "I started to like the idea of being independent".
After that, Gisele did a few jobs in Japan, some editorials (go to Japan is something almost every model has to do when she is starting her career). After that, disappointed with the lack of jobs, Gisele went back home, in Horizontina. In the beginning of 1995 Gisele made the decision of going to São Paulo. Her father, Valdir, didn't like it, but he finally agreed. He went with her to São Paulo, talked to the staff in Elite and met the apartment she was going to live in, with five other girls. In February Gisele, 14 years old, made two bags of clothes and took a bus to São Paulo.
In São Paulo things weren't easy. "In the beginning, I had to go to the tests by subway. I didn't have money for a cab". She started to know the entire São Paulo by bus and subway. "I know São Paulo just using bus and subway". "I wanted to be independent when I was 14!".
In São Paulo, Gisele finished the second year in high school, in a public school. She used to live in an apartment, paying rent, sharing it with other girls. Monica Monteiro, her ex-booker in Elite and her agent in Brazil for IMG, used to give Gisele a ride to go to school. Because Gisele had almost no jobs at that time, she used to help Monica by filling forms and answering phones. Sometimes, Gisele used to stay over in Monica's house, and her husband, Aloísio Lima, had to sleep in the couch, so Gisele would sleep with Monica.

To most moviegoers, Gwyneth Paltrow was "that English actress that used to be engaged to Brad Pitt." On March 21, 1999, that image was altered completely when the little known actress was awarded the Academy Award for her outstanding performance in Shakespeare in Love (1998). Gwyneth Paltrow, who in fact is not English, was born in 1973 in Los Angeles, the daughter of noted film director Bruce Paltrow and Tony award-winning actress Blythe Danner.
When Gwyneth was 11, the family moved to Massachusetts where her father began working in summer stock productions in the Berkshires. It was here that she received her early acting training under the tutelage of her parents. In 1991, she quit the University of California and began to actively pursue a career in acting.

 Elsewhere the single "Dance With The One That Brought You", a staple of Country MTV, directed by Sean Penn, provoked comparisons with Trisha Yearwood.
Name : Shania Twain
Profession : Singer, Actress
Date of Birth : 28th August,1965
Place of Birth : Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Raised in Timmins, Ontario
Height : 5'4"
Elsewhere the single "Dance With The One That Brought You", a staple of Country MTV, directed by Sean Penn, provoked comparisons with Trisha Yearwood. The follow-up album saw a rare non-rock outing for her producer, songwriting partner and husband Robert "Mutt" Lange (Def Leppard, Foreigner), who spent much of 1994 working on sessions with Twain in Nashville. The Woman In Me was an extraordinary crossover success in the USA, not only when it was first released, but over a year later, when it went back to the top of the album charts for another six months. |
