Stephanie Seymour was born on July 23, 1968, in the city of San Diego, California. From a young age, it was evident that this towering, stunningly beautiful young woman was destined for a career in modeling. She began getting local print work in her early teens and quickly gained recognition in the industry.
Seymour's big break came when she entered a modeling contest sponsored by Elite, which caught the eye of John Casablancas, the founder of Elite Modeling Agency. He offered her a modeling contract, and she soon moved to New York to work with him. Seymour and Casablancas began a romantic relationship, with him leaving his wife to be with her.
Throughout her career, Seymour has had great success, working with top brands such as Victoria's Secret and appearing in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues. However, she has also been known to push the boundaries of her career, posing for a spread in Playboy Magazine in 1991. This move proved to be a turning point in her career, propelling her to supermodel status and landing her roles in several music videos.
Seymour's personal life has been the subject of much speculation and rumor, with tales of difficult behavior, wild partying, and high-profile relationships. She has been linked to several notable figures, including Warren Beatty, Axl Rose, and Peter Brant, whom she married in 1995. Seymour has four children and continues to be a busy model, despite the ups and downs of her career.
In addition to her modeling career, Seymour has also dabbled in acting, appearing in a small role in the film Pollock (2000) and an episode of the TV show Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001).
