Kelly LeBrock

[justaguy]

Kelly LeBrock, born March 24, 1960, is an English actress, model, and ’80′s sex icon known for her acting debut in The Woman in Red, co-starring Comedian Gene Wilder, and the following cult film Weird Science, directed by the legendary, late John Hughes.
LeBrock was born in New York City, New York, but raised in London, England and in the countryside in Sussex. She is the daughter of a French-Canadian father who owned his own Quicksilver mine and opened “The General Thurber,” a 3-Star Michelin restaurant in Lake Champlain, New York. Kelly’s Irish mother, a former model, was owner of fine antique stores in London. LeBrock spent her early school days in a Montreal boarding school, gaining fluency in the French, before moving to Great Britain. At the age of sixteen, Kelly returned to New York and started her career as a high fashion and beauty model.
Her first marriage was to film producer and restaurateur Victor Drai in 1984, divorcing in 1986. Married to controversial action star Steven Seagal from 1987 – 1996, this starlet has three children, Annaliza (b. 1987), Dominic (b. 1990) and Arissa (b. 1993). Until recently, LeBrock suspended her acting career in favor of family life on a ranch in Southern California and invested in real estate.
LeBrock began her career as a model at the age of sixteen. She went on to appear on thousands of magazine covers and in fashion spreads, including an exclusive Christian Dior campaign, and became one of Eileen Ford’s most sought-after models.

She also gained notoriety as the Pantene shampoo commercial spokeswoman whose line, Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, became an infamous pop-culture catch-phrase. LeBrock was the quintessential 80′s sex icon, frequently cast as the “perfect” or “fantasy” woman in films such as The Woman in Red (1984) and John Hughes’ Weird Science (1985).
In 1985, Kelly LeBrock was awarded the ShoWest award for “Female Star of Tomorrow”.
In 1990, she starred opposite husband Steven Seagal in Hard to Kill. LeBrock also appeared in Betrayal of the Dove (1993), Tracks of a Killer (1995), and Hard Bounty (1995).
After her divorce from Seagal in 1996, she continued living on the ranch outside Los Angeles. She had roles in the film Wrongfully Accused (1998), The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2002), and Zerophilia (2005).
In 2005, LeBrock returned to Hollywood as the captain of the team “Kelly’s Bellies” on a Celebrity Fit Club reality show. After gaining back the pounds she lost on the program’s extreme diet and exercise regime, Kelly’s extensive research into lifestyle coupled with organic and raw “cooking” lead her to find a healthy way to maintain her slimmer figure. Kelly LeBrock indulged her love of the culinary arts by appearing on the third UK series of Hell’s Kitchen.

In 2008, after the death of her brother Harold, Kelly decided to devote her time to the terminally ill. She is currently the celebrity spokesperson for “Club Carson”, whose members are all children suffering from cancer. This organization provides a place where young patients can receive hospital standard hyperbaric oxygen treatments and advanced nutritional counseling for minimal cost. In the late 1980′s LeBrock was one of the first private U.S. citizens to own her own hyperbaric chamber – not for vanity reasons. She quickly recognized the link between the increased oxidative metabolism, stimulated by exposure to breathing oxygen in a hospital quality hyperbaric chamber and the need for an equal response to supply these oxygen energized cells with healing nutrition and nutriceuticals. LeBrock started her own brand of homeopathic remedies which quickly landed the shelves of stores across America. LeBrock testified to Congress in 1995 to the House Enquiry on Insurance and Medicare Access for alternative treatments on the needs of all Americans to have affordable access to such powerful remedies. She is on various scientic advisory boards and regularly lectures on this subject.
In 2006, LeBrock starred in the award-winning, independent film Gamers: The Movie. She plans to return to Bristol, England in 2009 to shoot her 2nd independent film with Director Billy Prince and writer/producer Tim Francis.
Currently LeBrock is in preproduction stage of the Movie “The Tambourine Mare”, an epic Australian movie about the struggles of early Australia during the great goldrush in that country, coping with the banditry – Bushrangers – and Colonial corruption. She is the co-author of the story, along with Michael Winter, Head of the Australian Screenwriter’s Guild.
