Introduction
Most of the times that supermodels are allowed on a movie set it’s just so stand next to the director that they’re dating and look pretty. Amber Valletta, however, was given the chance to act, and didn’t totally screw it up, and now sort of has an acting career.
Life Story
Valletta started off as a model at the age of 15. She made a name for herself in the fashion industry, and has gone on to act in several films, been on the cover of magazines and in advertisements for Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein and Versace and hosted MTV's House of Style with friend and fellow supermodel Shalom Harlow.
Valletta is married to renowned Olympic volleyball player Christian "Chip" McCaw with whom she has a son, Auden. Before this marriage, she dated Leonardo DiCaprio in early-1998. Her first marriage, in 1994, was to Hervé Le Bihan. They divorced in 1996. On August 24, 2006, her publicist announced that she was going into rehab for non-substance abuse issues related to stress and image problems.
Valletta also serves as the spokesperson for Oceana’s Seafood Contamination Campaign, where she brings awareness of the dangers of mercury poisoning in various kinds of seafood. The decision to join Oceana's campaign was prompted by the mercury-poisoning experience of a friend and the fact that she is a mother.
