Angie Everhart
Angie Everhart (born
September 7,
1969) is an
American actress and former fashion model.
Early Life
Everhart was born in
Akron, Ohio. Everhart began modeling when she was 16 and moved to Europe to pursue her modeling career at 17. Born to an engineer father and a homemaker mother in Akron, Everhart was the fifth child of six siblings, having four older brothers and a younger sister. In 1987, she graduated from
Firestone High School in Akron where she was a cheerleader and school mascot. Following a playful photo session with her mother and the subsequent submission of the results to a local modeling agency, Everhart was on a plane to Paris later that same year. By the end of the following year, the burgeoning model had graced the covers of such fashion mainstays as
ELLE and
Glamour (for which she was the first-ever red-haired cover girl). Though a horseback riding accident in which she broke her back nearly put an end to her catwalk aspirations, the determined model was soon on her feet again against all odds.
Career
Making her film debut in 1993 with the
Arnold Schwarzenegger action-comedy
Last Action Hero, Everhart has since appeared in such features as
Tales From the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood (1996),
Denial (1998),
Camera and
Gunblast Vodka (both 2000). An avid skydiver ,she was briefly engaged to
Sylvester Stallone in 1995, married to
Ashley Hamilton from late 1996 until early 1997, and has been rumored to be involved with
Prince Albert of Monaco. She is the only woman to have dated
Howard Stern in between the time he separated from his wife Alison and started dating his now longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky, that Howard has admitted to and discussed openly as having dated or slept with, although he maintains there were many others that he's private about. Stern is only public about his tryst with Everhart because she went public with it first, calling Stern the "best sex she's ever had."
Early in her career, Everhart was advised she would never be a top model because she was a
redhead. However, she succeeded in her chosen career and posed for numerous publications. She appeared in several issues of the annual
Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, starting in
1995. Everhart posed semi-nude for the February
2000 issue of
Playboy.
