Monika Schnarre, a remarkable individual, made history at the tender age of 14 by becoming the youngest girl to win the esteemed Ford Modeling Agency's "Supermodel of the World" competition. This impressive feat was followed by another milestone at 15, when she became the youngest person to appear on the cover of the prestigious American Vogue magazine and in the coveted Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
After a short but illustrious five-year modeling career, Monika left the catwalk and pursued her academic goals, graduating from high school with honors. She then relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her passion for acting. Her big break came soon after her arrival in L.A., when she landed the lead role of Ivana in the popular daytime soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful in 1987.
Since then, Monika has appeared in numerous television shows, including Caroline in the City in 1995, Charmed in 1998, The King of Queens in 1998, Total Recall 2070 in 1999, Dead Man's Gun in 1997, Andromeda in 2000, Mutant X in 2001, and many more. She has also made cameo appearances in notable films, such as Junior in 1994, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bulletproof Heart in 1994, alongside Mimi Rogers and Anthony LaPaglia. In 2004, she starred alongside Marla Sokoloff and Jennifer Tilly in the film Deluxe Combo Platter.
Monika's television series, BeastMaster, which premiered in 1999, is still widely popular and in syndication worldwide. When not busy with her acting career, Monika enjoys spending time between her residences in Los Angeles, Montana, Toronto, and Vancouver. Her hobbies include hiking, photography, and restoring her cabin.
