Mini Biography :
>> Laetitia Casta has both literally and figuratively broken
the waif mold that the supermodel kingdom has been dominated by for
decades. Born May 11, 1978 in Pont-Audemer, France, she has brought
curves back to the forefront of top fashion magazines, although she
hasn't done so without controversy. Her name means 'joy' in Latin,
and she led a very joyous life in Normandy, where she lived with her
family in the country. Before that though, she lived in Corsica where
her father Dominique hailed from.
Laetitia is very shy and has admitted on several occasions to be
intimidated by men, which perhaps may boggle some men's minds. She
did however become much less shy when her mother Line brought her
sister Marie-Ange into the world, which inspired Laetitia to become
a role model for her younger sister. In 1993, Laetitia signed on with
Guess? Jeans and from there, Victoria's Secret in 1996.
Her popularity continued and she landed spots in the 1997, 1998,
and 1999 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues.She's appeared in nearly
100 covers of major fashion magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Glamour
and her momentum continues. The 2000 Victoria's Secret campaign shows
her spotlighted in her own commercial. She also has been in several
commercials for L'Oreal, joined in many by Simon Rex. Laetitia is
not only everywhere in print, but is establishing herself as a credible
actor as well, having been in Asterix which starred Gerard Depardieu,
Roberto Benigni and Christian Clavier, in the most costly French film
ever made.
Laetitia also has a brown belt in Judo. She feels that her experience
with Judo has helped her in her modeling career to have control, to
set limits for herself, to not be aggressive and to think with her
mind not with her emotions.
