Elle Macpherson

Elle Macpherson ( born 29 March 1963) is an Australian supermodel, actress, and businesswoman. She is known for her six cover appearances on Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue in the 1980s, the 1990s and once in the 2000s. Nicknamed “The Body”, she is 6'0 (1.83 m) tall. According to Forbes, she is worth around £60 million.

At age 17, while on holiday in the United States, Macpherson was discovered by Francis Grill and signed to Click Model Management. Macpherson became an international star through her appearances in Elle magazine. She appeared in every issue for six straight years. During this time she married (at age 21) Elle creative manager Gilles Bensimon. Eventually she gained even more exposure through Sports Illustrated magazine’s annual swimsuit issue. She appeared on the cover a record five times, (1986, 1987, 1988, 1994 and 2006). Rising in popularity, her exceptional body measurements (36-25-35) were the reasons for her nickname "The Body"—a tag that was to become her brand. She also released a series of successful calendars and modeled for lingerie giant Victoria's Secret.

By 1986, her popularity had increased sufficiently for Time magazine to run a cover entitled “The Big Elle”. The Australian government offered her a post on the tourist commission as an unofficial ambassador.

On 26 April 2000, the post office of Antigua and Barbuda issued a sheetlet of eight different $1.20 postage stamps with images of Elle Macpherson (Scott #2241) — the first time that any post office had issued stamps to honour a Super Model.[3]

In 2001, along with fellow model Naomi Campbell, Elle was the master of ceremony of Miss Universe 2001.
