Hollywood is a place full of beauty, talent, glitz and glamour, and a lot of luck. Hollywood gives great stardom to people who can prove themselves, but, until they are really lucky, they have to work extremely hard to make a mark. Sometimes, even people from star families don't make it big, while at times, common people through reality shows create a blast. Some become instant hits, while many struggle for years. Many of the top actors in Hollywood have started as early as children, while many have begun their careers as extras. Some of the most beautiful and accomplished actresses of Hollywood were once models, though it is also true that they are often approached by big brands to sign endorsement deals with them worth millions. Let us take a look at the Top 10 Beautiful Actresses who were Models.
