Alek Wek
Alek Wek did not expect to get a career in modeling, but one fateful day, the soon-to-be starlet was strolling around an outdoor farmers market in London. A Models 1 scout saw her and was immediately struck by her presence. She appeared in a 1995 Tina Turner music video, which propelled her into the spotlight. She was signed to Ford Models shortly after this appearance.
