Though she became a top-dollar
fashion model straight out of high school, the leggy brunette came into her own
only after living through a decidedly trying childhood and adolescence marked
by parental abandonment, four years spent wearing a body cast, and pre-pubescent
gawkiness that caused her peers to christen her the "Jolly Green Giant." One of
the fashion industry's top cover girls for over a decade, Russo traded that metier
for an acting career after a photo shoot for a maternity catalog prompted a timely
reassessment of her rapidly diminishing supermodel status. After spending a few
years doing the token girlfriend/supportive wife thing, she rapidly ascended to
the seven-figure salary range following her breakthrough tough-girl
performances opposite Eastwood and Gibson and a high-profile turn as a B-movie
scream queen in 1995's Get Shorty.

"I'm good at persuading my husband I'm right, even when I'm wrong. I have the power of persuasion, even when I know I'm full of shit." | |
